Download or read book Endocannabinoids and Related Lipids in Chronic Pain written by Niclas Stensson and published by Linköping University Electronic Press. This book was released on 2018-05-03 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Europe, approximately one in five adults experience chronic pain, pain that lasts more than three months. Chronic pain is a significant problem not only for those people suffering from chronic pain but also for society. The prevalence of chronic pain is higher in women and lower socioeconomic groups. Although chronic pain often originates in a specific site, it may eventually spread to several sites, transforming into chronic widespread pain (CWP), a condition evident in about 10% of the adult population. Approximately 1.2-5.4% are classified with fibromyalgia (FM). In addition to CWP, common symptoms of FM include, stiffness, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and cognitive dysfunction and common co-morbidities include depression and anxiety. Although FM/CWP has been reported to alter both central and peripheral nociceptive mechanisms, no objective biomarkers have been found that correlate with CWP/FM and no standard examinations such as blood test, X-ray or computed tomography can provide support for a diagnosis. Because there are no objective biomarkers that correlate with the pathophysiological processes associated with CWP/FM, this debilitating disease is difficult to diagnose and ultimately treat. However, there are some promising therapeutic targets for chronic pain with inter alia analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and stress modulating properties: the endocannabinoids (ECs) arachidonoylethanolamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and their related lipids oleoylethanolamide (OEA), palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), and stearoylethanolamide (SEA). This thesis investigates whether ECs and the related N-acylethanolamines (NAEs) can be used as potential biomarkers for CWP/FM. Specifically, the studies compared the peripheral and systemic levels of ECs and NAEs in 121 women with CWP/FM and in 137 healthy controls in two different cohorts. In addition, the correlation between lipid levels and common pain characteristics such as intensity, sensitivity, and duration were investigated. The EC and related lipid levels were measured using liquid chromatography in combination with tandem mass spectrometry. Multivariate data analysis was used for biomarker evaluation. Compared to the healthy controls, the CWP/FM patients had significantly higher concentrations of OEA, PEA, and SEA in muscle and plasma (p ? 0.05) and significantly higher 2-AG in plasma (p ? 0.01). These results may indicate that NAEs, are mobilized differently in painful muscles compared with pain free muscles. Moreover, increased systemic levels of NAEs and 2-AG in patients might be signs of ongoing low-grade inflammation in CWP/FM. These findings contribute to a better understanding of how peripheral and systemic factors maintain and activate chronic pain. Although the investigated lipids have statistically significant effects but biologically uncertain role in the clinical manifestations of CWP/FM. Thus plasma lipids are not a good biomarker for CWP/FM. Nevertheless, increased lipid levels indicate a metabolic asymmetry in CWP/FM, a finding that could serve as a basis for more research on pain management.

Download or read book Handbook of Psychiatric Measures written by A. John Rush Jr. and published by American Psychiatric Pub. This book was released on 2009-03-20 with total page 865 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook of Psychiatric Measures offers a concise summary of key evaluations that you can easily incorporate into your daily practice. The measures will enhance the quality of patient care assisting you, both in diagnosis and assessment of outcomes. Comprising a wide range of methods available for assessing persons with mental health problems, the Handbook contains more than 275 rating methods, from the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale to the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale. In this fully revised edition, more than 40 measures have been added both to the book and to the accompanying CD-ROM. The Handbook features: Thoroughly examined and revised measures that provide the most relevant and timely information for clinicians. New measures that empirically provide better patient evaluation Updated costs, translations, and contact information for each measure This handy compendium includes both diagnostic tools and measures of symptoms, function and quality of life, medication side effects, and other clinically relevant parameters. It focuses on measures that can be most readily used in either clinical practice or research. Most of the measures are designed to improve the reliability and validity of patient assessment over what might be accomplished in a standard clinical interview. The measures also demonstrate that the use of formal measures can improve the collection, synthesis, and reporting of information as compared with the use of unstructured examinations. Seventeen disorder-specific chapters, organized in DSM-IV-TR order, include measures for: Disorders of childhood and adolescence Cognitive disorders Sexual dysfunction Eating disorders Sleep disorders Aggression and much more. The discussion of each measure includes goals, description, practical issues, psychometric properties, and clinical utility, followed by references and suggested readings. This revised edition includes updated measure descriptions, new measure variants and research, and newly selected measures particularly appropriate to the domain of discussion. As a clinical tool, this book Describes how, when, and to what purpose measures are used Points out practical issues to consider in choosing a measure for clinical use Addresses limitations in the use of measures including ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic factors that influence their interpretation Use of this special resource is further enhanced by a CD-ROM containing the full text of more than 150 of these measures -- an invaluable aid for reference and clinical decision-making.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume addresses the assessment of the most commonly encountered disorders or conditions among adults, older adults, and couples. Evidence-based strategies and instruments for assessing mood disorders, anxiety disorders, couple distress and sexual problems, health-related problems, and many other conditions are covered in depth. With a focus throughout on assessment instruments that are feasable, psychometrically sound, and useful for typical clinical practice, a rating system has been designed to provide evaluations of a measure's norms, reliability, validity, and clinical utility. Standardized tables summarize this information in each chapter, providing essential information on the most scientifically sound tools available for a range of assessment needs."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a bid to claim ‘scientific objects’ as requiring a significant amount of conceptual labor, this book looks sequentially at instruments, habits, and museums. The goal is to uncover how, together, these material and immaterial activities, rules, and commitments form one meaningful and credible blueprint revealing the building blocks of knowledge production. They serve to conceptualize and examine the entire life of an instrument: from its ideation and craft to its use, reuse, circulation, recycling, and (if not obliterated) its final entry into a museum. It is such an epistemological triptych that guides this investigation.
