perceived physical and emotional trauma as precipitating events in fibromyalgia associations with health care seeking and disability status but not pain severity
Arthritis & Rheumatism, 1997Co-Authors: Leslie A Aaron, Laurence A Bradley, Graciela S Alarcon, Mireya Trianaalexander, Ronald W Alexander, Michelle Y Martin, Kristin R AlbertsAbstract:Objective. We examined relationships between perceived physical and emotional trauma that occur prior to, or that initiate, pain onset and health care seeking for fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). We also assessed associations between perceived trauma and levels of health care usage, symptom severity, functional disability, and receipt of disability compensation among patients with FMS. Methods. We evaluated these variables using interviews and standardized instruments in a consecutive series of FMS patients and community residents who met the American College of Rheumatology criteria for FMS but had not sought medical care (“nonpatients”). Results. Emotional trauma was associated with status as an FMS patient independently of demographics, physical trauma, and sexual/physical abuse (P = 0.007). Among patients, emotional trauma was related to a high number of physician visits (P = 0.013), functional disability ratings (P = 0.012), and fatigue (P = 0.029), but physical trauma was associated with receipt of disability compensation (P = 0.019). Trauma history was not related to pain severity or pain thresholds. Conclusion. Perception of physical trauma is a greater determinant of disability compensation for FMS than is perceived emotional trauma, symptom severity, or functional disability. Effort should be devoted to understanding the social and Legal Factors underlying this observation, as well as to reducing high health care usage among FMS patients with emotional trauma.

proposed actions for the us food and drug administration to implement to minimize adverse effects associated with energy drink consumption
American Journal of Public Health, 2014Co-Authors: Janet Thorlton, David A Colby, Paige DevineAbstract:Energy drink sales are expected to reach $52 billion by 2016. These products, often sold as dietary supplements, typically contain stimulants. The Dietary Supplement Protection Act claims an exemplary public health safety record. However, in 2011 the number of emergency department visits related to consumption of energy drinks exceeded 20 000. Nearly half of these visits involved adverse effects occurring from product misuse.Political, social, economic, practical, and Legal Factors shape the landscape surrounding this issue. In this policy analysis, we examine 3 options: capping energy drink caffeine levels, creating a public education campaign, and increasing regulatory scrutiny regarding the manufacture and labeling of energy drinks.Increased regulatory scrutiny may be in order, especially in light of wrongful death lawsuits related to caffeine toxicity resulting from energy drink consumption.
