Intellectual Disability01:29

Intellectual Disability

749
Intellectual disability (ID) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by deficits in intellectual and adaptive functioning that manifest during the developmental period. This condition encompasses challenges in reasoning, memory, problem-solving, and learning, accompanied by impairments in everyday life skills, such as communication, self-care, and social interactions. Intellectual disability affects approximately 1% of the population in the United States, impacting an estimated 5...

Learning Disabilities01:25

Learning Disabilities

624
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Fatigue01:21

Fatigue

842
Fatigue occurs when materials rupture under repeated or fluctuating loads, even at stress levels far below their static breaking strength. It typically results in brittle failure, even for ductile materials. It is a critical consideration in designing machines and structural components subjected to repetitive or varying loads. The nature of these loadings can range from fluctuating loads like unbalanced pump impellers causing vibrations to repeatedly bending a thin steel rod wire back and forth...

Muscle Recovery and Fatigue01:24

Muscle Recovery and Fatigue

4.2K
Muscle fatigue refers to the decline in a muscle's ability to maintain the force of contraction after prolonged activity. It primarily stems from changes within muscle fibers. Even before experiencing muscle fatigue, one may feel tired and have the urge to stop the activity. This response, known as central fatigue, occurs due to changes in the central nervous system, namely the brain and spinal cord. While there is no single mechanism that induces fatigue, it may serve as a protective...

Fatigue Strength of Concrete01:22

Fatigue Strength of Concrete

567
Fatigue, in the context of materials science and engineering, refers to the weakening or failure of a material caused by repeatedly applied loads, even if these loads are below the strength limit of the material. Fatigue strength in concrete is a critical property that influences its durability and longevity. Concrete can fail in two ways due to fatigue. Static fatigue or creep rupture occurs under a constant load or one that increases slowly. The other failure mode is due to cyclical or...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Pain Management
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Pain is a significant predictor of activity limitations and participation restrictions.
  • Understanding pain predictors is crucial for healthcare professionals and researchers.
  • This study focuses on individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify predictors of pain presence and severity.
  • To investigate pain in a large sample of community-dwelling individuals with MS.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional study design.
  • 188 individuals with MS recruited from three major MS clinics in Montreal, Canada.
  • Assessed pain prevalence, severity, and predictor variables including depression, anxiety, fatigue, sleep problems, and cognitive deficits via questionnaires.

Main Results:

  • Pain prevalence was 42% in the sample.
  • Multiple sclerosis (MS)-related disability was the primary predictor for both pain presence and intensity.
  • Fatigue significantly contributed to pain presence.
  • Pain was associated with increased depression, anxiety, sleep problems, cognitive deficits, and reduced perceived health status.

Conclusions:

  • Pain is a prevalent symptom in individuals with MS.
  • MS-related disability and fatigue predict the presence of pain.
  • MS severity is the sole predictor of pain intensity.
