Evaluation of Genetic Polymorphisms in Patients with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity
OBJECTIVE Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) is a chronic medical condition characterized by symptoms that the affect an individual's response to low-level chemical exposure. In this study, we identified a chemical sensitive population (CSP) and investigated the effect of genetic polymorphisms on their risk of chemical sensitivity. METHODS A quick environment exposure sensitivity (QEESI) que...

متن کاملThe Relationship between Perception of Illness and Health-related Behaviors in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis
Background & objectives: Illness perception has a predictive value in the health-related behaviors of people with chronic illness and its impact on quality of life and disease management is important. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between perceived disease and health-related behaviors in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods: This descriptive-correlational stu...
متن کاملAffected by smells? Environmental chemical responsivity predicts odor perception.
Strong negative reactions, physical symptoms, and behavioral disruptions due to environmental odors are common in the adult population. We investigated relationships among such environmental chemosensory responsivity (CR), personality traits, affective states, and odor perception. Study 1 showed that CR and neuroticism were positively correlated in a sample of young adults (n = 101), suggesting...
