Altered Brain Structure and Functional Connectivity and Its Relation to Pain Perception in Girls With Irritable Bowel Syndrome
OBJECTIVE: Imaging studies in adults with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) have shown both morphological and resting state (RS) functional connectivity (FC) alterations related to cortical modulation of sensory processing. Because analogous differences have not been adequately investigated in children, this study compared gray matter volume (GMV) and RS-FC between girls with IBS and healthy controls (HC) and tested the correlation between brain met…

Psychological aspects and hospitalization for pain crises in youth with sickle-cell disease
Sickle-cell disease is a genetic disorder characterized by severe pain episodes or "vaso-occlusive crises" that may require hospitalization. This study examined the associations among emotion regulation, somatization, positive and negative affect, and hospitalizations for pain crises in youth with sickle-cell disease. Multivariate analyses indicated that emotional suppression and somatization were significantly associated with more frequent hospi…
Depression partially mediates the relationship between alexithymia and somatization in a sample of healthy children
A link between alexithymia and somatization has been widely established, yet little is known about different factors that may influence this relationship. Evidence supporting the idea of psychopathology as a mediator has been presented but not widely tested, particularly in children. The present study examined depressive symptoms as a mediator of alexithymia and somatization in a sample of healthy children in order to better understand the alexit…
Anxiety Sensitivity and Catastrophizing
This study examined the relationships among anxiety sensitivity (AS), catastrophizing, somatization and pain in 240 non-clinical children (121 girls; mean age = 12.7 years). Children with pain problems ( n = 81; 33.8%) reported greater AS and catastrophizing ( ps < .01) relative to children without pain problems. AS but not catastrophizing was significantly associated with current pain. However, both AS and catastrophizing were significantly asso…
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in Rural Primary Care
Context: Recent bioterrorist attacks have highlighted the critical need for health care organizations to prepare for future threats. Yet, relatively little attention has been paid to the mental health needs of rural communities in the wake of such events. A critical aspect of bioterrorism is emphasis on generating fear and uncertainty, thereby contributing to increased needs for mental health care, particularly for posttraumatic stress disorder, …
Pain and the Use of Outpatient Services Among Persons With HIV
BACKGROUND: The negative impact of pain on health-related quality of life has been documented for persons with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Furthermore, pain could be an important factor in seeking medical care. However, the relationship between pain and health service utilization is poorly understood. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of pain on use of outpatient services among a nationally representati…
Diagnosed Mental and Physical Health Conditions in the united States Nursing Home Population
Context : There has been limited examination of the differences in health characteristics of the rural long‐term care population. Recognizing these differences will allow policymakers to improve access to long‐term care services in rural communities. Purpose: To determine whether differences in likelihood of diagnosis exist between urban and rural nursing home residents for 8 common medical conditions: 4 mental health conditions (depression, anxi…
