Central sensitization in tension-type headache--possible pathophysiological mechanisms.
The aim of the present thesis was to investigate the pathophysiology of chronic tension-type headache with special reference to central mechanisms. Increased tenderness to palpation of pericranial myofascial tissues is the most apparent abnormality in patients with tension-type headache. A new piece of equipment, a so-called palpometer, that makes it possible to control the pressure intensity e...
متن کاملNovel Pathophysiological Insights and Current Clinical Applications
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a valuable adjunct to angiography, providing new insights in the diagnosis of and therapy for coronary disease. Angiography depicts only a 2D silhouette of the lumen, whereas IVUS allows tomographic assessment of lumen area, plaque size, distribution, and composition. The safety of IVUS is well documented, and the assessment of luminal dimensions represents an...
متن کاملPathophysiological insights into the antiphospholipid syndrome.
The antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is characterized by venous and/or arterial thrombosis and severe pregnancy morbidity in presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL). While there is compelling evidence that aPL cause the clinical manifestations of APS, the underlying mechanisms are still a matter of scientific debate. This is mainly related to the broad heterogeneity of aPL. There are three...
متن کاملPathophysiological insights in sickle cell disease
The first coherent pathophysiological scheme for sickle cell disease (SCD) emerged in the sixties-seventies based on an extremely detailed description of the molecular mechanism by which HbS in its deoxy-form polymerises and forms long fibres within the red blood cell that deform it and make it fragile. This scheme explains the haemolytic anaemia, and the mechanistic aspects of the vaso-occlusi...
متن کاملAdvances in treating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: insights from pathophysiological studies.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most frequently occurring of the neuromuscular degenerative disorders, with a median survival time of 3-5 years. The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying ALS are multifactorial, with a complex interaction between genetic factors and molecular pathways. To date 16 genes and loci have been associated with ALS, with mutations in DNA/RNA-regulating gen...
