Objective: The healthcare professional's attitude toward persistent somatic symptoms (PSS) seems to play an important role in access to and quality of care for patients with PSS. To encourage research on PSS attitude, we developed and validated the Professionals' Attitude to Persistent Somatic Symptoms Questionnaire (PAPSS).
Methods: A list of items was developed through theory and a focus group with PSS experts, with response categories on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree".
Article Synopsis
- * A study involving 102 healthcare professionals used the nominal group technique to identify barriers to collaboration and potential solutions, resulting in a list of key challenges and solutions.
- * Major barriers included communication issues, referral quality, and time constraints, while effective solutions suggested involved improved electronic consultations and consistent terminology usage.
Article Synopsis
- Physiological regulatory issues in infants, like sleep and feeding problems, are linked to functional somatic symptoms (FSS) later on, especially in preadolescents.
- The study utilized data from the Copenhagen Child Cohort, examining how early emotional and contact issues, alongside physiological problems, relate to FSS during pre- and late adolescence, controlling for maternal mental health and family challenges.
- Results indicate that early physiological regulatory problems significantly predict FSS in preadolescents but have a weaker association in late adolescence, suggesting early intervention may help prevent long-term issues.
Background: Preschoolers experience physical symptoms, like abdominal pain or minor injuries, almost every day. These experiences may shape how they deal with health issues later in life. To gain insight into these early life experiences, information from multiple perspectives is useful.

Individualized strategies, based on neuromuscular blockade (NMB), pre-stretching routines, and personalized intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) to enhance surgical conditions are strategies to improve surgical workspace. However, the specific impact of each factor remains uncertain.
