normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background : the aim of this study was to determine the correlation between corneal hysteresis (ch) and the corneal resistance factor (crf), which are both novel methods of analyzing ocular rigidity/elasticity, and various corneal characteristics, mainly corneal volume in normal subjects. methods : this cross-sectional study included 500 normal eyes...

Corneal-responsive neurons were recorded extracellularly in two regions of the spinal trigeminal nucleus, subnucleus interpolaris/caudalis (Vi/Vc) and subnucleus caudalis/upper cervical cord (Vc/C1) transition regions, from methohexital-anesthetized male rats. Thirty-nine Vi/Vc and 26 Vc/C1 neurons that responded to mechanical and electrical stimulation of the cornea were examined for convergen...

Background. Despite the significant development of modern anesthesiology, pain relief surgical patients is still unsatisfactory. Inadequate management causes psychological discomfort and complications. The combination general anesthesia with various options for local allows one to get closer solving problem pain. aim study was compare effect multicomponent balanced (intravenous + inhalation) an...

objectives this study was designed to evaluate the antinociceptive activity of methanol extract of n. depauperata in male mice. materials and methods the anti-nociceptive activities of the extract were investigated by the formalin test and hot plate test respectively. comparisons between the groups were carried out using one-way analysis of variance (anova), and post hoc tukey test. results n. ...

Understanding intracranial nociceptive innervation is essential to understand the pathophysiology of headaches. Our knowledge about human nociception comes from sparse observations during neurosurgical procedures performed in awake patients, anatomical studies and experimental animals. In this article we review functional organization underlying innervation. Intracranial mainly mediated by trig...
