Pain and the perception of space in fibromyalgia by Michele Scandola, Maddalena Beccherle, Enrico Polati, Giorgia Pietroni, Elena Rossato, Vittorio Schweiger, Valentina Moro

“…The estimation of distances and slopes in navigation space (i.e. the space reachable by locomotion) is influenced by sensations relating to body condition and the metabolic cost of the actions. The results of the studies investigating the impact of pain on distance estimation remain inconclusive. 28 women suffering from chronic pain and fibromyalgia (FM), and 24 healthy women (HC) were assessed for musculoskeletal, neuropathic, and visceral pain by means of the Widespread Pain Index, the Symptom Severity Scale and an ad-hoc devised questionnaire for pain (the Verona Pain Questionnaire). …”

Association Study between Novel CYP26 Polymorphisms and the Risk of Betel Quid-Related Malignant Oral Disorders by Shyh-Jong Wu, Yun-Ju Chen, Tien-Yu Shieh, Chun-Ming Chen, Yen-Yun Wang, Kun-Tsung Lee, Yueh-Ming Lin, Pei-Hsuan Chien, Ping-Ho Chen

“…BQ chewing may produce significant amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS), resulting in oral mucosa damage, and ROS may be metabolized by CYP26 families. Because the CYP26 polymorphisms associated with malignant oral disorders are not well known, we conducted an association study on the associations between the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of CYP26 families and the risks of malignant oral disorders. …”
