Professor [
Julia Newton is a researcher into the treatment ofmyalgic encephalomyelitis /chronic fatigue syndrome . Number of notable first including first to identify and treat autonomic failure in primary biliary cirrhossis [Newton JL. Fatigue in primary biliary cirrhosis.Clin Liver Dis. 2008 May;12(2):367-83; ix. Review.PMID: 18456186] [Newton JL, Allen J, Kerr S, Jones DE.Reduced heart rate variability and baroreflex sensitivity in primary biliary cirrhosis.] . First to identify POTS as a subtype of ME/CFS and to use midodrine to effectively treat patients [Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome is an under-recognized condition in chronic fatigue syndrome A. HOAD1, G. SPICKETT1, J. ELLIOTT2 and J. NEWTON3] . Currently nominated for an OBE for her efforts to improve patient care. Awarded Professorship by the institute of cellular medicine for her work on autonomic dysfunction in disease. Member of the John Richardson Research Group with Dr. Byron Hyde, Dr. Vance Spence, Dr. Gavin Spickett (Head of the north-east CFS clinics). Work featured in the economist. (references pending).
