Alexithymia, Hostility and Depression in Patients Suffering from Somatic Diseases
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the presence of Alexithymia, Hostility and Depression in patients suffering from acute and chronic somatic illnesses.Methodology: 210 individuals participated: 55 patients with acute somatic illnesses, 47 patients with chronic somatic illnesses and 108 healthy subjects.They were assessed with the Beck Depression Index (BDI-21), the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) and the Hostility and Direction of Hostility Questionnaire (HDHQ).Data selected and analyzed with the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS).Results: Chronic somatic patients exhibited higher scores on Depression and Alexithymia, compared to acute somatic patients (p<.000), while acute somatic patients exhibited higher Hostility scores, compared to chronic patients (p<.000).Both groups exhibited higher Depression, Alexithymia and Hostility scores compared to healthy subjects (p<.000).Conclusions: Psychiatric symptomatology in patients suffering from chronic somatic illnesses differs from psychiatric symptomatology in patients suffering from acute somatic illnesses, when Depression, Alexithymia and Hostility were examined.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
