Personality Traits in Fibromyalgia (FM): Does FM Personality Exists? A Systematic Review

Personality Traits Related to Binge Drinking: A Systematic Review

The pattern of alcohol consumption in the form of binge drinking (BD) or heavy episodic drinking has increased notably worldwide in recent years, especially among adolescent and young people, being currently recognized as a global health problem. Although only a minority of binge drinkers will develop a substance use disorder, BD may have negative personal and social consequences in the short a...

Personality and Fibromyalgia Syndrome

OBJECTIVES We aimed to review how personality characteristics contribute to the onset, maintenance or modulation of fibromyalgia. METHOD The databases Medline and PsychINFO were examined from 1967 to 2012 to identify studies that investigated associations between fibromyalgia and personality. Search terms included fibromyalgia and personality, trait psychology, characteristics and individual ...

TMR Effect in a FM-QD-FM System

Using the Keldysh nonequilibrium technique, we study current and the tunnelling magnetoresistance (TMR) in a quantum dot coupled to two ferromagnetic leads (FM-dot-FM). The current is calculated for both parallel and antiparallel lead alignments. Coulomb interaction and spin-flip scattering are taken into account within the quantum dot. Interestingly, we find that these interactions play a cont...
