This study evaluated whether dancers with pain experience more sensory changes during an experimentally induced sensorimotor incongruent task and explored the relationship between sensorimotor incongruence and self-reported measures (e.g., Short Form 36-questionnaire (SF-36), psychosocial variables and physical activity). Forty-four dancers were subjected to a bimanual coordination test simulating sensorimotor incongruence (i.e., performing congruent and incongruent arm movements while viewing a whiteboard or mirror) and completed standardized questionnaires. Significantly more dancers experienced sensory changes during the performance of incongruent movements while viewing a mirror (p < .01), but the intensity of the reported sensations was very low. No differences were observed between dancers with and without baseline pain, but significant negative associations were found between sensorimotor incongruence and subscores of the SF-36. Sensorimotor incongruence can provoke small sensory changes in dancers but appears unrelated to baseline pain symptoms. Sensorimotor incongruence appears to be related to quality of life.

The Relationship

Temperamental traits and empathy are both associated with emotional regulation; they thus shape both the quality of an individual’s life and the functioning of his or her social relationships. However, the mediating effects of emotional empathy in the relationship between temperamental characteristics and relationship satisfaction have not been closely analyzed and therefore require further study. This study examined the effects of temperamental arousability – global negative arousability and its components (fear, sadness, discomfort, frustration) – on emotional empathy and, consequently, on relationship satisfaction. One hundred and fifty young adults (104 women, 46 men) aged 20 to 35 participated in the study. The participants had been in romantic relationships for at least six months. The study used a sociodemographic survey and a set of questionnaires which included the Adult Temperament Questionnaire – Short Form, the Empathic Sensitiveness Scale and the RELAT Questionnaire. The results showed that empathic concern fully mediated the relationship between global negative arousability and relationship satisfaction. Furthermore, the effects of fear and sadness on relationship satisfaction were fully mediated by empathic concern and personal distress. Additionally, personal distress fully mediated the relationship between discomfort and relationship satisfaction. Neither empathic concern nor personal distress were mediators in the relationship between frustration and relationship satisfaction. It can therefore be concluded that although partners who exhibit higher global negative arousability report lower relationship satisfaction, they might become more satisfied when being more compassionate and caring towards others.

Background:Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) can cause various muscle diseases. Because it is a chronic auto inflammatory disease, painful trigger points may be encountered in the examination due to a decrease in the pain threshold (1-3).Objectives:The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Fibromiyalgia in patients with FMF, at the same time to identify the relationship between fatigue and quality of life.Methods:Sixtyseven patients (38 female, 29 male) with FMF were enrolled in the study. They were diagnosed with FMF based on the Livneh diagnostic criteria (4). Fibromyalgia involvement of the patients was evaluated according to the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ). Patients with diagnose with other chronic disease were excluded. Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) was used to evaluate fatigue. Quality of life was evaluated with Short Form-36 (SF-36).Results:Respectively, the mean age, disease duration and body mass index were 34.46±12.69 years, 12.66±7.86 years and 24.96±5.42 kg/m2. In addition, 65% of the patients had no rheumatic disease in their family history. The mean of scores of FIQ was 38.66±25.14, the mean of FSS was 38.07±17.56, the mean of SF-36-PCS was 45.55±10.54 and SF36-MCS was 30.93±17.39. Patients were categorized as mild (n=28), moderate (n=24) and severe (n=15) affected according to their FİQ score. The relationships of scores of FIQ, FSS and SF-36 were demonstrated Table 1.Conclusion:Fibromyalgia symptoms can be seen in FMF. According to our results, it has been shown that patients with moderate and severe symptoms have increased fatigue levels and decreased quality of life. In the light of these results, we can say that also the fibromyalgia symptom of patients with FMF should be considered in the treatment.References:[1]Sari, Ismail; Birlik, Merih; Kasifoglu, Timucin.

The relationship between various leisure lifestyles (LLS) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was analyzed. The 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36; Ware, Kosinski, & Keller, 1994) was completed by 622 residents of Taiwan. Factor analysis resulted in 6 dimensions of leisure lifestyle: preferred travel, self-realization, morning action, exercise loving, homebody, and social support. The scores for self-realization were the highest and the scores for morning action the lowest. Cluster analysis was applied to categorize the respondents into 4 leisure lifestyle groups: morning exercisers, traveling and social people, static recreation people, and active exercisers. In general, those groups of people for whom their LLS included more exercise had a better HRQoL.

Abstract Pain is a limiting factor in the daily life activities of sickle cell disease (SCD) patients. Opioid analgesics are widely used for management of SCD-related chronic pain in the community. To date there have been no studies on the use of opioids and their impact on quality of life (QoL) measures in this population. Patients on long-term opioid pain management may also be on hydroxyurea (HU), which is often used to decrease the frequency of painful episodes and other SCD sequelae. HU is also known to affect some QoL measures. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of opioid analgesia on QoL measures in an adult SCD population. This study included 185 patients, 92 females and 93 males, from the outpatient clinic at Duke University Medical Center. 117 patients either had homozygous SCD or were doubly heterozygous for Sβ0 thalassemia; 68 patients were of different genotypes. Data were collected by patient interviews as well as review of medical records after informed consent. The Medical Outcome Study 36-item Short Form (SF-36) was used to determine QoL measures, and the results were scored in standard fashion. Differences in variables of interest between narcotic users and narcotic non-users were analyzed using t-tests. ANOVAs were used to identify combined effects of narcotics, HU and their interaction with SF-36 scores. Gender, age and genotypes were included as covariates. Patient data were classified in 4 groups based on report of regular use of opioids (at least 30 days within the preceding year) and HU (any use during the preceding year) as follows: no HU or narcotics (none); narcotics only; HU only; and narcotics and HU. SF-36 scores for all physical and mental domains were significantly lower in individuals on opiates vs those not on opiates, in all age groups (p&lt;.01). Controlling for HU use did not affect the association of opioid use with lower SF-36 scores. We also examined the relationship between hemoglobin, white blood cell count (WBC) and oxygen saturation in the different medication groups. WBC counts were significantly higher in individuals using opioids when compared to those who were not on opioids. Patients on HU and narcotics also had higher WBC than those on HU alone. The frequency of hospitalization was significantly higher in the opioid only group, as compared to the other 3 groups (p=.02). While HU was found to have a positive impact on certain aspects of QoL, it added very little to QoL in individuals who were on both HU and narcotics. Since the efficacy of HU was strongly related to the decrease in WBC, we compared the mean values of WBC in all medication groups. HU significantly lowered the WBC count, but the concurrent use of opioids partially obliterated this effect. This cannot be explained by poor compliance, as the mean WBC were lower in the HU and opiates than in the opiate only group. Our results suggest that further studies are needed to determine whether other factors play a role in QoL outcomes. Other pain management strategies should also be investigated due to the apparent association of opioid analgesia with lower QoL in this patient population. Figure Figure

Outcomes Study

Objective.Anterior uveitis (AU) is an intraocular inflammatory condition closely linked to spondyloarthritis (SpA). Clinical disease variables may often underestimate the true effect of the disease on patient’s quality of life. This study examines AU and associated undiagnosed SpA using established quality-of-life tools to inform clinicians of the effect of these diseases.Methods.The Dublin Uveitis Evaluation Tool (DUET) algorithm was developed and validated in a cohort of consecutive patients with AU who were all screened by a rheumatologist for the presence of SpA. This same cohort completed vision-related [Vision Core Measure 1 (VCM1)] and general health [Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 (SF-36)] questionnaires when AU was active and resolved.Results.VCM1 scores improved with AU resolution. VCM1 did not correlate with vision at baseline, but did on resolution of inflammation. Physical SF-36 scores were reduced during AU episodes and improved on resolution remaining below those of population norms. Subanalysis revealed that SpA scores were more affected than the idiopathic AU group.Conclusion.AU affects physical aspects of quality of life more than is appreciated by clinical variables, especially in those with pre-existing, undiagnosed SpA. This study is unique in examining the effect of SpA on patients prior to diagnosis. These results highlight the role of the ophthalmologist in identifying patients with SpA who present with AU using the DUET algorithm.

The Impact

Background/Aim. Urolithiasis is one of the most common urological illnesses with a continual rise in incidence and prevalence in the population. Its pathogenesis is multifactorial; hence, its consequences are serious problems that can significantly impact the quality of life of patients. In the last years, operational modes of urolithiasis treatment had undergone evolution changes towards minimally invasive treatment techniques aimed at improving its efficacy and patients' life quality. The aim of the study was to examine and evaluate the quality of life of the patients with urolithiasis depending on the applied treatment method. Methods. This research was designed as a panel study ? a combination of a cross-sectional and cohort study. The sample included patients with urolithiasis treated with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) or ureteroscopic lithotripsy (Lithoclast). The research was carried during one year period and 100 respondents met the inclusion criteria. They were divided into two equal groups considering the applied method of the stone disintegration: the Lithoclast group (URSL) and the ESWL group. The instrument used for measuring the quality of life was Short Form (SF) 36 questionnaire. It was administrated to the patients immediately before the operation and one month after the operation. Results. The statistical analysis of the scores obtained preoperationally on the SF 36 questionnaire revealed the decrease in the quality of life of patients with urolithiasis in almost all dimensions of life. The statistically relevant difference in preoperative SF scores between the two groups of patients was not established except in the domain of the role of physical health and the domain of mental health. In the domain of the role of physical health, the Lithoclast group had a statistically significant higher score than the ESWL group, but in the domain of mental health, the ESWL group had a statistically significant higher score than the Lithoclast group. The postoperative statistical analysis of SF questionnaire and the examination of the impact of the treatment mode on the quality of life showed that the use of the Lithoclast method resulted in the much higher, statistically significant score at SF36 questionnaires regarding several life dimensions than the ESWL method. The application of the ESWL method even resulted in the decrease in the postoperational score for some life dimensions. Conclusion. The assessment of the quality of life is an adequate tool for the evaluation of treatment modes in the clinical practice. By using the SF 36 questionnaire in this study, we established that the ureteroscopic lithotripsy (the Lithoclast method) is a method that postoperatively results in much higher and statistically significant improvement of the quality of life of patients with urolithiasis in several health domains than the ESWL method.

ABSTRACT The present study aimed to calculate the quality of life scores (Short Form-36) of veterinary students in Turkey and review their scores with regards to different socio-demographic characteristics. A total of 1211 students studying veterinary medicine in 26 different faculties in Turkey were selected by stratified sampling method and were asked questions concerning their consumption of and expenditures on foods of animal origin using the SF-36 questionnaire between October and December 2018. Significant differences were found between SF-36 components in terms of year level, gender, accommodation status, income level, and level of expenditures on foods and foods of animal origin (P<0.01). With the increase in the size of the budget set aside for animal products, the scores in the domains of physical functioning, vitality, mental health, pain, and general health perception also enhanced, and statistically significant differences were found (P<0.01). The low quality of life scores of the veterinary students can be improved by increasing their income level and consumption of foods of animal origin. This will ensure that they are energetic and have the desired level of mental and general health perceptions.

The scientific problem of economics “Managing the quality of human life” is formulated on the basis of artificial intelligence, algebra of logic and logical-probabilistic calculus. Managing the quality of human life is represented by managing the processes of his treatment, training and decision making. Events in these processes and the corresponding logical variables relate to the behavior of a person, other persons and infrastructure. The processes of the quality of human life are modeled, analyzed and managed with the participation of the person himself. Scenarios and structural, logical and probabilistic models of managing the quality of human life are given. Special software for quality management is described. The relationship of human quality of life and the digital economy is examined. We consider the role of public opinion in the management of the “bottom” based on the synthesis of many studies on the management of the economics and the state. The bottom management is also feedback from the top management.
