INTRODUCTION Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the axial skeletal system, causing pain and functional incapacity. To measure the impact of AS on patient's life, questionnaires are used to assess disease activity (BASDAI); functional incapacity (BASFI); and quality of life (ASQoL). Fibromyalgia (FM) is one of the most common causes of generalized pain and...

Frequency-modulated (FM) stimuli have been used to explore the behavior of neurons in the auditory cortex of several animal models; however, the properties of FM-sensitive auditory cortical neurons in the chinchilla are still unknown. Single-unit responses to FM stimulation were obtained from the auditory cortex of anesthetized adult chinchillas (Chinchilla laniger). Upward and downward linear ...

Based on the Coulomb hybrid density functional with spin–orbit coupling (SOC) effect and generalized gradient approximation (GGA) + U method, structural, magnetic, electronic properties of PuAlO3 (Pnma Imma) have been studied. The value magnetic moment (μs) GGA method is maximum, SOC minimum, centered. phonon curve two phases ferromagnetic (FM) almost identical to that antiferromagnetic (AFM) s...

Background and objectives: Fibromyalgia (FM) and depression has been suggested to share a common underlying etiology. Few studies have investigated the role of emotional regulation processes in FM compared to depressive disorders. The purpose of the current study was to explore the use of defense mechanisms in FM patients with and without comorbid lifetime depressive disorder (LDD), and to comp...

OBJECTIVES We compared the magnitude and direction of associations between forgiveness and pain, mental and physical health, quality of life, and anger in a sample of fibromyalgia syndrome (FM) participants and healthy controls. In addition, we compared FM and controls on mean levels of these variables. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 173 individuals with FM and 81 controls completed this st...

BACKGROUND Since chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and fibromyalgia (FM) often co-exist, some believe they reflect the same process, somatization. Against that hypothesis are data suggesting FM but not CFS was common in patients with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). The presence of discrete case definitions for CFS and FM allowed us to explore rates of CFS alone, CFS with FM, and FM alone in SDB ...
