Patients and methods: Fifty female patients with FMS (mean age 40.5±7.2 years; range 21 to 55 years) and 40 healthy female controls (mean age 39±9.4 years, range 22 to 55 years) were included in the s...

Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) patients show altered connectivity with the network maintaining ongoing resting brain activity, known as the default mode network (DMN). The connectivity patterns of DMN with the rest of the brain in FMS patients are poorly understood. This study employed seed-based functional connectivity analysis to investigate resting-state functional connectivity with DMN structu...

BACKGROUND Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic pain syndrome of unknown etiology. There is increasing evidence for small nerve fiber impairment in a subgroup of patients with FMS. We investigated whether skin cytokine and delta opioid receptor (DOR) gene expression in FMS patients differs from controls as one potential contributor to small nerve fiber sensitization. METHODS We investigat...

A ccording to Robert Bennett, one of the national figures in fibromyalgia syndrome (fms) research and treatment, fibromyalgia is a descriptive “construct developed by rheumatologists to account for a common group of patients that they see in their routine practice” (Bennett 1999a: 1). Although fms originated as an intellectual construct developed by rheumatologists to help in the study and trea...

While designing a Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) for production requirements, most engineers think of cost and time reduction. No one wants an over-equipped FMS, but rather one with enough capabilities to do the job. An FMS allows mixing different production set -ups in machines and provides mid-range to highrange production rates. If such complexity is not used to a high degree, the FMS m...

Amaç: Fibromiyalji sendromu (FMS), temel olarak kronik yaygın ağrının olduğu, psikolojik ve somatik yakınmaların eşlik ettiği, nedeni bilinmeyen bir hastalıktır. Tip 2 diyabetes mellitus hipomagnezemide de kas ağrıları, nöromüsküler sistem bulguları, yorgunluk gibi FMS’ ye benzer semptomlar görülmektedir aralarındaki ilişki hakkında çok az şey bilinmektedir. Amacımız, tip Mellitus olan hastalar...

BACKGROUND Little data exists regarding injury risk factors for professional football players. Athletes with poor dynamic balance or asymmetrical strength and flexibility (i.e. poor fundamental movement patterns) are more likely to be injured. The patterns of the Functional Movement Screen(™) (FMS) place the athlete in positions where range of motion, stabilization, and balance deficits may be ...

BACKGROUND The fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is suggested to be a manifestation of depression or affective spectrum disorder. We measured the cognitive style of patients with FMS to assess personality styles in 44 patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) by comparing them with 43 patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and 41 healthy controls (HC). METHODS Personality styles were measure...

Fibromyalgia (FMS) is a valid clinical condition that affects 2%-4% of the population with a pivot symptom of widespread body pain. The cause and cure of FMS are as yet unknown. The concept of FMS has evolved over the past two decades to incorporate symptoms beyond pain as contributing to the global spectrum of suffering. FMS is now recognized to be grounded in the neurological domain with evid...

Increasing the expression of c-FMS (colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor) by introduction of a transgene reduced the concentration of retinoic acid or 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 needed to cause myeloid or monocytic cell differentiation and hypophosphorylation of the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (RB) typically associated with cell cycle G0 arrest and differentiation of HL-60 human myel...
