Tooth pulpal nerves include sympathetic and sensory nerves that originate from trigeminal ganglion .From the terminal of these sensory nerves neuropeptides are secreted that are neuromodulators and neurotransmitters. One of them is CGRP (Calcitonin gene-related protein) which has a vasodilatory effect on pulpal vessels. Near abscess and moderate injuries, this neuropeptide can lead to neural fi...

www.endojournal.com.ar 540 Dental pulp is a highly vascularized and innervated tissue. The neural component of the pulp tissue consists of motor and sensory nerve fibers, the latter coming from the cranial nerve V; all stimuli that provoke these fibers will result in a painful sensation. Dental pulp tissue is not the only tissue with this characteristic. The eye cornea and the tympanic membrane...

The following paper describes the results of two studies of auditory processing and the implications of those studies for understanding deviant language development. The studies were conducted on children with the delayed language syndrome known as congenital, childhood, or developmental aphasia. Characteristic of this syndrome is the failure to develop adequate linguistic skills, even though o...

The leprosy bacillus is famed for being the first microorganism definitively shown to be associated with human disease. It evades the host's immune response by invading and propagating inside the vacuoles of macrophages called phagosomes. From there, it infects the Schwann cells of the peripheral nervous system, where it disrupts myelin production, thus leading to the characteristic features of...

BACKGROUND Trunk flexion and axial extension are characteristic symptoms of chorea-acanthocytosis (ChAc). PHENOMENOLOGY SHOWN A 41-year-old male with ChAc (confirmed by VPS13A mutations) reported that his involuntary axial movements were significantly ameliorated by either folding his arms over his chest or putting his hands behind his head. EDUCATIONAL VALUE These apparent "sensory tricks"...

Objectives: Individuals need proper sensory processing ability to function appropriately in the environment and participate in daily life activities. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the sensory processing characteristics of the general population of children ages 0-14 years. Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. The target population was all children aged 0 ...

We report the expression pattern of a Drosophila transcription factor, Drosophila regulatory factor X (dRFX), which belongs to the RFX winged-helix transcription factor family. dRFX is distributed in type I sensory neuron lineage of the peripheral nervous system throughout Drosophila development and thus represents the first described type I lineage characteristic marker in Drosophila. In addit...

OBJECTIVE To identify reasons for delay in management of patients with cauda equina syndrome (CES) and to determine commonly presented features of CES. METHODS Retrospectively, the presenting features and management of patients treated for CES over a 4-year period were reviewed. RESULTS Reasons for delay in treatment were identified in over half of the patients. DISCUSSION Most patients d...

and Implications Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) improved carcass characteristics of pork by decreasing backfat and increasing fat hardness (firmness). CLA also improved the color of pork loin chops and patties both initially and over retail storage time. Combined, these carcass composition and sensory characteristic improvements could provide processors and consumers a more desirable product. T...

T he recent barrage of linkage assignments and gene discoveries has confirmed the clinical and genetic heterogeneity of ataxic diseases. They all share the prototypic feature of difficulty in walking though many additionally present dysarthria, spasticity, retinopathy, and other neurological symptoms. Broad subgroups of ataxias and related diseases exist including spinocerebellar and spastic at...
