Objectives: Psychological factors and physical and emotional distress are frequently identified in fibromyalgia (FM). Previous reports have explored the relationship between some of these variables and functional disability and emotional distress in the disease; however, additional links with other potential psychological factors are unknown. This study aimed to assess the association between psychological variables and functional disability and emotional distress in individuals with FM.
Methods: This prospective, cross-sectional cohort study included 251 FM patients aged over 18 years. Demographic and clinical characteristics and outcome measures were recorded for each participant. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to identify associations between the psychological factors.
Results: The findings suggest significant associations between psychological variables and physical impact and emotional distress (anxiety and depression) (all p-values < 0.0001). Positive and negative affect, mindfulness, and perceived injustice were strongly associated with the physical and emotional impact (all p-values < 0.05) in the sample.
Conclusions: The study provides useful insights into the domains of physical and emotional distress. The findings should be incorporated into personalised treatments aimed at reducing functional disability and improving quality of life in patients with fibromyalgia.

Preterm birth, even for moderate or late preterm infants (MLPIs), is associated with longer-term developmental challenges. Family Integrated Care (FICare) models of care, like Alberta FICare, aim to improve outcomes by integrating parents into neonatal care during hospitalization. This follow-up study examined the association between models of care (Alberta FICare versus standard care) and risk of child developmental delay at 18 months corrected age (CA) and explored the influences of maternal psychosocial distress.

Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated skin disease significantly impacting women, with disease severity often modulated by hormonal fluctuations. This review examines the influence of hormonal changes on the course of psoriasis in women, focusing on key life stages-including the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause-and their impact on disease progression and symptomatology. Estrogen, the principal female sex hormone, plays a critical role in immune modulation.
