Neuropathic pain is a widespread and highly debilitating condition commonly resulting from injury to the nervous system, one main sequela of which tactile allodynia, induced by innocuous mechanical stimulation skin. Yet, cellular mechanisms neuronal substrates underlying this pathology have remained elusive. We studied quantifying manipulating behavioural nociceptive thresholds in normal pathological conditions. found that, both control rats those with hypersensitivity nerve injury, paw...
Microelectrodes have been very instrumental and minimally invasive for in vivo functional studies from deep brain structures. However they are limited the amount of information provide. Here, we describe a, aluminum-coated, fibre optic-based glass microprobe with multiple electrical optical detection capabilities while retaining tip dimensions that enable single cell measurements (diameter ≤10 µm). The probe enables separation individual cells transgenic mice expressing fluorescent proteins...
To identify predictive factors for visual outcomes of patients presenting with a posterior segment intraocular foreign body (IOFB).A retrospective chart review was performed all consecutive operated IOFB removal between January 2009 and December 2018. Data were collected patient demographics, clinical characteristics at presentation, characteristics, surgical procedures, postoperative outcomes. A multiple logistic regression model built poor final acuity (VA) as an outcome (defined VA 50...
