A systematic review of the quality of randomized controlled trials of psychological treatments for emotional distress in breast cancer
Meta-analyses of trials of psychological treatments for emotional distress in breast cancer (BCa) conclude that efficacious treatments exist. Subsequently, their implementation in routine care is widely promoted by health policy. However, the methodological quality of these trials has not been systematically evaluated. The present review investigates this issue. (Source: Journal of Psychosomatic Research)

A register-based case-control study of health care utilization and costs in binge-eating disorder
Capturing trends in healthcare utilization may help to improve efficiencies in the detection and diagnosis of illness, to plan service delivery, and to forecast future health expenditures. For binge-eating disorder (BED), issues include lengthy delays in detection and diagnosis, missed opportunities for recognition and treatment, and morbidity. The study objective was to compare healthcare utilization and expenditure in people with and without BED. (Source: Journal of Psychosomatic Research)

Predicting the course of persistent physical symptoms: Development and internal validation of prediction models for symptom severity and functional status during 2 years of follow-up
Increased knowledge about predictors of the course of persistent physical symptoms (PPS) is needed to identify patients at risk for long-term PPS in clinical settings.Therefore, we developed prediction models for the course of PPS in terms of symptom-severity and related functional status during a 2-year follow-up period.

The joint influence of emotional reactivity and social interaction quality on cardiovascular responses to daily social interactions in working adults
Social interaction quality is related to cardiovascular functioning. Trait emotional reactivity may amplify cardiovascular responses to social interactions, but is often examined as a tendency to react to negative events. We took a broader approach by examining the joint effects of positive and negative emotional reactivity and social interaction quality on ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) and heart rate (HR) responses to daily social interactions.

Pre-treatment anxiety is associated with persistent chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in women treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a frequent adverse reaction caused by chemotherapeutic agents, especially the taxanes. CIPN can persist from months to years after completion of chemotherapy, decreasing quality of life for cancer survivors. The aim of this study was to explore the incidence and risk factors of persistent CIPN among women with breast cancer receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy. (Source: Journal of Psychosomatic Research)

Towards a Swedish identity in consultation-liaison (CL) psychiatry and psychosomatics – Re-foundation of the Swedish Association of CL Psychiatry
In contrast to many European countries, Sweden has not yet implemented consultation-liaison (CL) psychiatry and psychosomatic medicine into clinical care. There are few tertiary care hospitals offering more than on-demand acute psychiatric consultations. Some services, e. g., cancer or pain treatment centres, employ mental health professionals and psychiatrists. However, these services are in most cases not based on a CL service and psychiatrists can often be “lone enthusiasts”. Psychosomatics, as a subspecialty, does not exist in Sweden.
