Differential relationships of somatization, depression, and anxiety to severity of Crohn's disease

This study assessed the relative role of somatization, and depressive and anxiety symptoms in disease activity among 619 Crohn's patients (18-79 years; 58.3% women). Structural equation modeling revealed that somatization was the only unique predictor of disease activity beyond depression and anxiety. In …

They found 5 main phases in the initial parting process: the decision to eutha…
P1-23 Analysis of changing effect of climate on health over long period of time
Introduction Recently, analysis of health effects of climate change has become a global issue. This new and complicated problem calls for a new approach, since existing models cannot analyse changing effect of climate on health outcomes over a long period of time. We suggest methodology of analysis and estimation of changing effect of climate on health outcomes over time and apply it to estimating the effect of meteorological changes and hospital…
Relative-Assessed Psychological Factors Predict Sedation Requirement in Critically Ill Patients
OBJECTIVE: Sedation is frequently required in critically ill, mechanically ventilated patients. Sedation and analgesia requirements may vary substantially among patients. This study examined whether psychological factors predict amount of sedation requirements beyond the effects of other biomedical parameters. METHODS: This study used a prospective correlative design in an eight-bed medical intensive care unit at a tertiary university hospital. F…
