Article Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that may affect the central nervous system, leading to cognitive impairment associated with chronic inflammation and pain. : To assess the relationship between cognitive function, disease progression, pain intensity, and clinical parameters in patients with RA. : This study included 62 RA patients, including individuals with comorbid conditions. Cognitive performance was assessed using the Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics (ANAM) battery. Associations between cognitive function and pain intensity (VAS), inflammatory markers (ESR), number of disease flares, and surgical interventions were analyzed. : Patients with isolated RA demonstrated better performance in visuospatial memory and cognitive flexibility compared to those with comorbidities. Increased pain intensity and the number of disease flares were associated with impaired attention, memory, and psychomotor speed. : Chronic pain and high disease activity in RA negatively impact cognitive functions. Routine neuropsychological assessment should be considered in the comprehensive clinical management of RA patients.

Development and validation of a measure of sensory sensitivity - the Sensory Sensitivity Profile: a Rasch analysis.
Scand J Rheumatol

The Parker Institute, Copenhagen University Hospital, Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg, Frederiksberg, Denmark.
Objective: Pain hypersensitivity and hypersensitivity to other sensory modalities (visual, auditory, olfactory, and tactile) are considered defining features in nociplastic pain states. A self-report measure of sensory sensitivity may help to characterize sensory profiles across pain populations. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of a newly developed Danish nine-item Sensory Sensitivity Profile (SSP) questionnaire in patients with fibromyalgia.

Introduction: This study examined the impacts of different negative pressure cupping therapies (PCT) on pain relief, functional recovery, and inflammatory regulation in delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after high-intensity exercise, with the aim of clarifying the dose-effect relationship.
Methods: In this study, 55 healthy male participants aged 18-25 were selected and divided into 5 groups: the control group (CTR; = 11) and NPCT groups at different levels (-25 kPa, -35 kPa, -45 kPa, and -55 kPa; = 11 in each group). A high-intensity protocol, which included 6 sets of lunges, squats, and squat jumps, was adopted to induce DOMS in the quadriceps femoris.
Concordance of symptoms perceived by patients receiving haemodialysis and those reported by nurses and nephrologists: a cross-sectional, multicentre, observational study using the REIN registry.

Background: Patients receiving haemodialysis (HD) experience symptoms that impact quality of life. This study assessed the concordance of symptoms and symptom severity of HD patients and their perception by nurses and nephrologists.
Methods: A cross-sectional, observational study using the 30-item Dialysis Symptom Index (DSI) questionnaire was conducted in six dialysis centres in France from 1 March 2022 to 30 June 2023.
Evaluating Vitamin D Deficiency-Linked Digestive Issues by Bridging Endocrinology With Gastrointestinal Disorders.

Biochemistry, Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences, Karachi, PAK.
Background: Vitamin D insufficiency is increasingly recognized as a significant and underlying contributor to a wide range of musculoskeletal disorders, particularly in gastrointestinal (GI) and endocrine health. The study aims to determine the clinical relationship between vitamin D status and the severity of GI symptoms, while also assessing the impact of related endocrine disturbances.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 120 adult patients with GI problems, including constipation, bloating, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and dyspepsia in a tertiary care hospital over a six-month duration.
A Network Analysis of Fear-Avoidance Beliefs, Mood and Disability in Chronic Pain.

Department of Clinical Psychological Science, University of Maastricht, the Netherlands.
Objectives: Although the multifactorial nature of chronic pain is well established, research has predominantly examined isolated variables or singular pathways that may contribute to this condition. We use a complex systems perspective to examine the interplay of psychological factors in the context of chronic pain.
Methods: We analyzed two cross-sectional datasets (N=935 and 1366) collected at a pain clinic and rehabilitation center in Belgium from individuals primarily with musculoskeletal pain.
