OBJECTIVE Individuals with fibromyalgia (FM) have lower muscle strength and lower pressure pain thresholds (PPT). The primary aim of this study was to determine the associations between muscle strength and PPT in adults with FM to test the hypothesis that greater measures of muscle strength would be associated with greater values of PPT. Secondary aims included determining the effects of pain s...

Within the unmanageably large class of nonconvex optimization, we consider the rich subclass of nonsmooth problems having composite objectives (this includes the extensively studied convex, composite objective problems as a special case). For this subclass, we introduce a powerful, new framework that permits asymptotically non-vanishing perturbations. In particular, we develop perturbation-base...

BACKGROUND The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) plays a major role in neuropsychologic functioning including exteroceptive and interoceptive information coding, reward-guided behavior, impulse control, and mood regulation. This study examined the OFC and its subdivisions in patients with MDD and matched healthy control subjects. METHODS Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed on 31 unmedicat...

Introduction It is nearly 30 years ago that the International Commission on Microbiological Specifications for Foods (ICMSF) provided urgently needed guidance on the use of sampling plans and microbiological criteria for foods in international trade. With publications like “Microorganisms in Foods 2: Sampling for Microbiological Analysis: Principles and Specific Applications” (1) and now “Micro...

Abstract Following the reviews of atomic-weight determinations and other cognate data in 2015, 2017, 2019 2021, IUPAC (International Union Pure Applied Chemistry) Commission on Isotopic Abundances Atomic Weights (CIAAW) reports changes standard atomic weights. The symbol A r °(E) was selected for weight an element to distinguish it from E a specific substance P, designated (E, P). CIAAW has cha...
