Battery‐Free Dual‐Channel Wireless Neurostimulator Using Passive Circuitry for Neuropathic Pain Modulation

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A compact, wireless neural stimulator featuring a novel tapping inductor enables selective and independent stimulation of the motor cortex in rats via a single receiver coil. This minimally invasive system effectively reduces neuropathic pain through targeted cortical activation, offering a new avenue for bioelectronic pain therapies and advancing ...

Nitrous Oxide: Mechanism of Its Antinociceptive Action [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an anesthetic gas known to produce an analgesic effect at sub-anesthetic concentrations. This analgesic property of N2O can be clinically exploited in a broad range of conditions where pain relief is indicated.

Opioid Epidemics

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2019
In this paper, I propose an economic theory that addresses the epidemic character of opioid epidemics. I consider a community in which individuals are heterogenous with respect to the experience of chronic pain and susceptibility to addiction and live through two periods.

Development of f‐ELISA Sensors with Ultrahigh Sensitivity for On‐Site Colorimetric Detection of Fentanyl and Norfentanyl

open access: yesAdvanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.
A foam‐based ELISA (f‐ELISA) platform was developed using chemically modified melamine foam to enable rapid, ultrasensitive, and selective colorimetric detection of fentanyl and norfentanyl. Abstract Rapid and accurate detection of fentanyl in unknown products and aqueous samples can find the unexpected existence of the toxic chemical and assist law ...

Ligand-Specific Regulation of the Endogenous Mu-Opioid Receptor by Chronic Treatment with Mu-Opioid Peptide Agonist [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Since the discovery of the endomorphins (EM), the postulated endogenous peptide agonists of the mu-opioid receptors, several analogues have been synthesized to improve their binding and pharmacological profiles.

Advanced Biomaterial Delivery of Hypoxia‐Conditioned Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) as a Therapeutic Platform for Traumatic Brain Injury

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This research introduces a novel approach to enhance neuroregeneration following Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) are isolated from human neural progenitor cells under hypoxic conditions, leading to enhanced expression of neurogenic and angiogenic factors.
