The impact of loneliness and relationship quality on life satisfaction: A longitudinal dyadic analysis in persons with physical disabilities and their partners
Persons with physical disabilities and their caregiving partners are at an increased risk of experiencing reducedlife satisfaction. One potential explanation for this trend may be the potentially harmful effects of loneliness and poor relationship quality which this population often experience. To date, little is known about how the perceptions of loneliness and relationship quality affect life satisfaction in the disability an caregiving setting, furthermore the directionality of effect is not well understood.

Adolescent habitual caffeine consumption and hemodynamic reactivity during rest, psychosocial stress, and recovery
Most adolescents regularly consume caffeine. Whereas observational studies have suggested that coffee may be cardio-protective, pharmacological experimentation with adults shows that caffeine at dietary doses increases blood pressure, thereby implicating regular caffeine consumption as a potential source of harm for cardiovascular health. The present study was in response to the dearth of caffeine research among younger consumers. It was hypothesised that compared to the consumption of little or no caffeine, adolescents who habitually consume caffeine have overall higher blood pressure and increased vascular resistance. (S...

Molecular subtypes might affect chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy
I want to congratulate Lee and colleagues for their article [1] in which they explored the incidence and riskfactors associated with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) in breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy using docetaxel. Among the participants, 45% reported CIPN at the end of treatment. Among them, 42% reported persistent CIPN after discontinuation of treatment. Interestingly, the authors reported that pre-treatment anxiety was significantly associated with persistent CIPN. (Source: Journal of Psychosomatic Research)

Self-reported interoceptive deficits in eating disorders: A meta-analysis of studies using the eating disorder inventory
An impairment of the ability to sense the physiological condition of the body – interoception – has long been proposed as central to the onset and maintenance of eating disorders. More recent attention to this topic has generally indicated the presence of interoceptive deficits in individuals with an eating disorder diagnosis; however, possible links with specific diagnos is, BMI, age, illness duration, depression, and alexithymia remain unclear from individual studies. This meta-analysis aimed to provide a necessary quantitative overview of self-reported interoceptive deficits in eating disorder populations, and the r...

The effects of psychological distress and its interaction with socioeconomic position on risk of developing four chronic diseases
To examine the relationship between psychological distress and risk of developing arthritis, cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and diabetes across the range of distress severity, investigate the mediating roles of health behaviours and explore whether the associations vary with socioeconomic position.

Frequent attendance and the concordance between PHQ screening and GP assessment in the detection of common mental disorders
Frequent attendance (FA) in general practice is associated with excessive and often unjustified service use [1], thus placing considerable burden on the health care system [2 –4]. Mental disorders are one of the most frequent causes of FA. Frequent attenders (FAs) have been shown to have higher rates of depression [5–7], anxiety [8], and somatoform disorders [6,9–11], which are commonly referred to as common mental disorders (CMDs) [12]. They are also prescribed mo re psychotropic medication [9,13]. (Source: Journal of Psychosomatic Research)

Anxiety disorders occur in up to 35% of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and have a negative effect on motor symptoms and quality of life. To date, no clinical trials specifically targeting anxiety in PD patients have been published. (Source: Journal of Psychosomatic Research)
