Evidence of nerve damage in about half of fibromyalgia patients
[unable to retrieve full-text content]About half of a small group of patients with fibromyalgia -- a common syndrome that causes chronic pain and other symptoms -- was found to have damage to nerve fibers in their skin and other evidence of a disease called small-fiber polyneuropathy (SFPN). Unlike fibromyalgia, SFPN has a clear pathology and is known to be caused by specific medical conditions, some of which can be treated and sometimes cured.
Greece wins IMF praise despite slow state reform
ATHENS, Greece (AP) ? The International Monetary Fund said Greece had made "exceptional" progress in stabilizing its economy and remains on course to emerge from a near six-year recession in 2014, despite missing targets for privatization and axing state jobs.
In a 207-page report published Wednesday, the Washington D.C.-based institution also cautioned that Greece needs to make major structural reforms so its economy can grow in the long-term.
Greece's coalition government is struggling to meet staff reduction targets in the large public sector, and is due to announce details later Wednesday of its plan to suspend up to 25,000 employees on reduced pay by the end of the year. Though some will then be transferred, the government admitted that some won't find a new job and will be fired.
The country has been surviving on rescue loans from the IMF and other eurozone countries since 2010, when it lost access to long-term debt markets. Austerity measures demanded in return for the 240 billion euro ($319 billion) bailout program have hammered the economy and seen unemployment surge to 27 percent. Greece's annual economic output is around a fifth smaller than when it entered recession in 2008.
"The fiscal adjustment remains exceptional by any international standard," the IMF said.
The IMF described the country's privatization program as being "painfully slow" and expressed concern that mass staff transfers and firings planned in the public sector may not have the desired effect.
"The (IMF) is concerned that the focus is shifting significantly away from ensuring the exit of redundant and unqualified staff to relocation of such staff within the public sector," it said.
Poul Thomsen, the IMF's mission chief in Greece, said he was confident the recession would end soon and that eurozone countries would make good on their pledge to provide Greece with additional debt relief after Athens balances its state budget.
"I have no doubt we will see a bottoming out of recession next year, early next year. I am still confident," Thomsen said.
The government, meanwhile, said it was finalizing a credit system for its new transfer-and-firing mobility scheme in the public sector ? taking qualifications, work assessment and experience, as well as family status and other "social factors" into account ? to meet its target of firing 15,000 workers on the state payroll by the end of next year.
Workers will be suspended on reduced pay during an assessment period of up to eight months. The government conceded that many of those suspended would ultimately be fired ? in contrast to an earlier pledge.
"It is true that there will be a number of employees placed who will be placed in the mobility scheme who will not be absorbed and they will have to head to the exit ... we must be sincere about this," Administrative Reform Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis told private Antenna television Tuesday.
"Unfortunately the truth is that the country was bankrupted by its large state. And now we are obliged under conditions of great pressure to make these changes," he said.
Mitsotakis said the country would be in a better position if the public sector reforms had started three years ago, instead of the cuts to pay and hikes in tax that have unduly hit the private sector.
"Unfortunately, the wrong choices were made three years ago," he said.
