Is Failure

Background: Fibromyalgia is a functional disorder of growing importance characterized by chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain. It frequently affects women of child bearing age. Infertility is failure to achieve pregnancy within a 12 month period for sexually active individuals under 35 years of age and failure to conceive within a 6 months period for those over 35 years, which can have a major psychosocial impact on the affected person’s life. Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of fibromyalgia among a sample of infertile women; and to study its relationship with age, length of marriage, duration and type of infertility. Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Kamal Al-Samarraee Infertility Center & Infertility Clinic in Baghdad Teaching Hospital on 202 infertile women. Fibromyalgia was diagnosed according to 2012 Canadian Guidelines. Results: Fibromyalgia was reported in 48 women (23.8%). There was a significant association between fibromyalgia and age (P=0.023), longer duration of marriage (P=0.001) and longer duration of infertility (P=0.04), but no significant association with type of infertility whether primary or secondary (P=0.32). Conclusions: The prevalence of fibromyalgia among infertile women was higher than reported in the general population and its occurrence was significantly associated with age, longer duration of marriage and infertility.

Abstract A study by Yaruss and Quesal (2002), based on responses from 134 of 239 ASHA accredited graduate programs, indicated that approximately 25% of graduate programs in the United States allow students to earn their degree without having coursework in fluency disorders and 66% of programs allow students to graduate without clinical experience treating people who stutter (PWS). It is not surprising that many clinicians report discomfort in treating PWS. This cross-sectional study compares differences in beliefs about the cause of stuttering between freshman undergraduate students enrolled in an introductory course in communicative disorders and graduate students enrolled and in the final weeks of a graduate course in fluency disorders.
