Politics and Justice: Aristotle, Rawls, and the Case for Realism in Political Theory

Philosophy &Public Affairs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aristotle's analysis of stasis in Book V of the Politics offers a striking example of “distinctively political thought,” as advocated by Bernard Williams's political realism, and in contrast to the moralist approach exemplified by John Rawls. Aristotle identifies disputes over justice, driven by partial and conflicting conceptions of equality,

Long‐term stability of transcrestal sinus augmentation

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Transcrestal sinus augmentation has emerged as a minimally invasive alternative to lateral window techniques for vertical bone augmentation in the edentulous maxilla. Since its early introduction and modification over the last several decades, this technique has demonstrated predictable outcomes for implant placement in regions with limited ...

Marked C‐tactile afferent suppression by a plastic film does not proportionately diminish pleasantness of gentle brushing

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Human skin contains several classes of mechanoreceptive afferents that encode mechanical stimulation. For example, C‑tactile (CT) afferents are suggested to signal the pleasant aspects of gentle touch and are activated effectively by slow brushing of hairy skin.

Modulation of pain by affective touch: effects of childhood trauma, depression, chronic pain, and spinal segment

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Patients with fibromyalgia and no‐pain controls completed questionnaire ratings of chronic pain, childhood trauma, anxiety and depression. During the first session a conditioned pain modulation task was administered, with heat pain applied via thermode and cold pain via cold water‐bath.

Affective CT‐touch attenuates cortical responses and subjective attention during temporal summation of second pain

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The study investigated the modulatory effects of affective touch on temporal summation of second pain (TSSP) in 32 romantic couples (N = 64). The design included a dyadic session (partner's CT‐optimal stroking vs. static touch) and an individual session (robotic CT‐touch vs. vibration control).

High‐throughput, high‐fidelity reconstruction of whole mouse‐heart cytoarchitecture at cellular scale

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Experimental workflow of the dual‐camera light‐sheet microscope (dual‐mesoSPIM) pipeline. Intact adult mouse hearts undergo CUBIC‐based delipidation and refractive‐index matching, rendering the whole organ optically transparent (left).

Single human fingertip mechanoreceptive afferents simultaneously encode multidimensional aspects of touch

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Mechanoreceptors in the fingertip skin allow us to explore objects and to feel a vast range of textures. We recorded responses from individual low‐threshold mechanoreceptive afferents in humans while dynamic stimuli were swept across their receptive fields, systematically varying force, velocity and spatial period.

Low‐threshold cutaneous mechanoreceptors on the foot sole have enhanced sensitivity when skin temperature is elevated

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic illustration of microneurography recordings used to examine the effects of local skin heating on cutaneous mechanoreceptor responses in the human foot (left panel). A microelectrode inserted into a peripheral nerve records single‐unit activity from tactile afferent fibres while controlled mechanical stimuli are applied ...
