Modulation of neuropathic pain by a glial-derived factor.

INTRODUCTION An unfortunate consequence of incomplete nerve injury is development of neuropathic pain and associated allodynia, a feeling of discomfort in response to benign stimuli. Nerve injuries induce alterations in cytokine expression by Schwann cells, locally at the site of injury, and by glia, remotely in the spinal cord. Although most cytokines are pronociceptive, one, glial cell line-d...

1XTREME: A Step Beyond 3G

Third generation (3G) code-division multiple access (CDMA) wireless systems supporting voice and data services have been proposed since 1997. Standardization of those proposals was completed in 1999. However, anticipated demand for data services, particularly in the area of wireless access to Internetbased services, is driving the need to enhance the data-carrying capability of these systems be...
