What do experimental pain models tell us about aging and clinical pain?
During presentations about aging and clinical pain, almost invariably, someone will ask, " Does pain threshold change with age? Wouldn't that explain your results? " These are complicated questions, and there is rarely time in the few minutes usually allotted for " Q and A " to give an adequate response. Instead, more than once I've replied, " What would age differences in pain threshold tell y...
متن کاملDo Animal Models Tell Us about Human Pain?
Karen Smaalders, Marketing and Communications Manager Pain remains an important health problem, with estimates of the cost of common pain conditions being many billions of dollars per year in developed countries. Although pain in some patients could be controlled by better application of existing therapies, other conditions lack effective treatments. Although a major research effort continues t...
متن کاملWhat Do Solar Models Tell Us about Solar Neutrino Experiments?
If the published event rates of the chlorine and Kamiokande solar neutrino experiments are correct, then the energy spectrum of neutrinos produced by the decay of B in the sun must be different from the energy spectrum determined from laboratory nuclear physics measurements. This change in the energy spectrum requires physics beyond the standard electroweak model. In addition, the GALLEX and SA...
متن کاملWhat do different evaluation metrics tell us about saliency models?
How best to evaluate a saliency model’s ability to predict where humans look in images is an open research question. The choice of evaluation metric depends on how saliency is defined and how the ground truth is represented. Metrics differ in how they rank saliency models, and this results from how false positives and false negatives are treated, whether viewing biases are accounted for, whethe...
متن کاملWhat reliability can and cannot tell us about pain report and pain neuroimaging.
In this issue of PAIN , Letzen et al. examine the test–retest reliability of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) connectivity (fcMRI) measures and self-reported pain during pain stimulation and show that fcMRI measures are less reliable than self-reported pain. This study is a valuable endeavor, and as we move toward developing and using neuroimaging-based biomarkers for clinical purpo...
