Fibromyalgia (FM) and transformed migraine (TM) are common chronic pain disorders. The authors estimated the prevalence of FM in 101 patients with TM, and analyzed its relationship to depression, anxiety, and insomnia. FM was diagnosed in 35.6% of cases. Patients with FM had more insomnia, were older, and had headaches that were more incapacitating than patients without FM. Insomnia and depress...

INTRODUCTION Fibromyalgia (FM) is mainly characterized by widespread pain and multiple accompanying symptoms, which hinder FM assessment and management. In order to reduce FM heterogeneity we classified clinical data into simplified dimensions that were used to define FM subgroups. MATERIAL AND METHODS 48 variables were evaluated in 1,446 Spanish FM cases fulfilling 1990 ACR FM criteria. A pa...

Let FM(A), for A = (ω, R̄), be the family of finite models being initial segments of A. The thesis investigates logical properties of families of the form FM(A) for various arithmetics like arithmetic of addition and multiplication, Skolem arithmetic of multiplication, arithmetic of coprimality, of exponentiation and arithmetic of concatenation. We concentrate on questions such as decidability o...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate plasma amino acid (AA) concentrations in patients affected by fibromyalgia (FM) and to study the relationships between their levels and FM clinical parameters. DESIGN AND METHODS 20 AAs were assessed in 34 FM patients and in 18 healthy volunteers by means of a modified version of the Waters picotag method. RESULTS Significant lower plasma taurine, alanine, tyrosine (T...

For the quantum integer [n]q = 1+q+q + · · ·+q there is a natural polynomial multiplication such that [mn]q = [m]q ⊗q [n]q . This multiplication is described by the functional equation fmn(q) = fm(q)fn(q ), defined on a given sequence F = {fn(q)} ∞ n=1 of polynomials such that fn(0) = 1 for all n. If F = {fn(q)} ∞ n=1 is a solution of the functional equation, then there exists a formal power se...

We study a phase dynamics induced by a spin dynamics in a ferromagnetic Josephson junction, in which two superconductors (SC’s) are separated by a ferromagnetic layer. A new phenomenological model for the phase variable is proposed by including the spin dynamics excited by the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) in the gauge invariant phase of s-wave SC’s. We found that the current-voltage characteri...

 This study was carried out to investigate the apparent digestibility coefficients (ADCs) value of protein, amino acid and energy and body amino acid composition of rainbow trout fed solvent extracted soybean meal (SBM) and full-fat soybean meal (FFS) partly replacing fish meal (FM) in diets. Five iso nitrogenous (average 50.36% crude protein) and energetic (4294 kcal/kg total energy) diets wer...
