Family Physician Survey In Mainz: Patients With Depression Frequently Suffer From Medically Unexplained Pain
Pain symptoms that cannot be attributed, or at least not fully attributed, to an organic origin are more frequently and more severely experienced by patients with depression than by those without. "It is the case that women are much more frequently affected by depression and also by so-called somatoform pain disorder than men," explains Dirk Frieser, psychologist at the Institute of Psychology at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. For the purposes of his doctoral dissertation, Frieser and fellow psychologist Stephanie Kç¶rber questioned 308 patients attending two practices of general practitioners in Mainz. Patients were asked about their state of health and their pain symptoms, but also about their anxieties with regard to illness, how they react when ill, what social support they receive, and what psychological stress they experience, together with many other aspects. Subsequently, the pain symptoms reported by the patients were evaluated by their doctors.

Troubled Waters: Low Apalachicola River Flow May Hurt Gulf Fisheries
Reductions in the flow of the Apalachicola River have far-reaching effects that could prove detrimental to grouper and other reef fish populations in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico, according to a new Florida State University study that may provide new ammunition for states engaged in a nearly two-decade water war.

Siemens Launches 'Decibels For Life' - New Campaign Aims For Hearing Awareness And Instrument Innovation

"Decibels for Life", the new campaign from Siemens Hearing Instruments, has been launched to maintain awareness of hearing loss. It will also champion hearing innovations that help overcome impairments leading to an improved quality of life. The ongoing campaign will address how hearing loss or wearing an inappropriate hearing instrument can mean missing out on a range of daily sounds. It will draw on everyday examples such as clinking glasses, whispered gossip or buzzing bees under the slogan, "Why miss a decibel in your life?" "The "Decibels for Life" campaign will address the issue of hearing impairment and the importance of having the right hearing instrument. Fifteen per cent of the population is diagnosed with hearing loss, but many more are not aware of how much they fail to hear," states Darren Ransley, UK Product and Marketing Manager at Siemens Hearing Instruments. "With an ageing population and growing awareness that hearing needs to be tested regularly, it is important to inform people that there are innovations that can make a real difference to quality of life."
