متن کاملRole of ERK1/2 activation on itch sensation induced by bradykinin B1 activation in inflamed skin
It has previously been demonstrated that bradykinin receptor B1 (B1R) agonists evoke an itch-related scratching response in inflamed skin via the B1 receptor; however, the mechanisms responsible for this abnormal itch sensation remain unclear. Therefore, the present study utilized a complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced mouse model of inflammation to elucidate the mechanisms responsible. Ove...
متن کاملRare Cervical Intramedullary Cavernous Angioma with Trigeminal Neuralgia and Cervical Itch: Case Report and Review of the Literature
INTRODUCTION Intramedullary cavernous angioma (ICA) is a rare lesion of the spinal cord, representing only 3% - 5% of central nervous system lesions. The coexistence of trigeminal neuralgia and refractory itch is very rarely encountered in clinical practice. To our knowledge, a report of an ICA with trigeminal neuralgia and local neuropathic itch has never been published to date. Thus, we prese...
