Fibromyalgia (FM) is a complex condition marked by increased pain sensitivity and central sensitization. Studies often explore the link between FM and depressive anxiety disorders, but few focus on dysthymia or persistent depressive disorder (PDD), which can be more disabling than major depression (MD). To identify clinical scales and subscales of the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) that effectively describe and differentiate the psychological profile of PDD, with or without comorbid MD, in FM patients with PDD previously dimensionally classified by the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory III (MCMI-III).

Article Synopsis
  • * To protect crew members from ocular injuries, the ISS uses ophthalmic medications, environmental support systems, radiation protection, and conducts thorough preflight screenings.
  • * Future missions to the Moon and Mars, including NASA's Gateway Program, will face new challenges for eye health, necessitating ongoing research and improvements in safety protocols for astronauts in extraterrestrial environments.

In autumn 1950 David and Elizabeth Lack chanced upon a huge migration of insects and birds flying through the Pyrenean Pass of Bujaruelo, from France into Spain, later describing the spectacle as combining both grandeur and novelty. The intervening years have seen many changes to land use and climate, posing the question as to the current status of this migratory phenomenon. In addition, a lack of quantitative data has prevented insights into the ecological impact of this mass insect migration and the factors that may influence it.

The molecular basis of phenotypic evolution: beyond the usual suspects.

It has been well documented that mutations in coding DNA or cis-regulatory elements underlie natural phenotypic variation in many organisms. However, the development of sophisticated functional tools in recent years in a wide range of traditionally non-model systems have revealed many 'unusual suspects' in the molecular bases of phenotypic evolution, including upstream open reading frames (uORFs), cryptic splice sites, and small RNAs. Furthermore, large-scale genome sequencing, especially long-read sequencing, has identified a cornucopia of structural variation underlying phenotypic divergence and elucidated the composition of supergenes that control complex multi-trait polymorphisms.
