Neuropathic pain management via repeated electroacupuncture. Abstract Background Existing remedial approaches for relieving neuropathic pain (NPP) are challenging and open the way for alternative therapeutic measures such as electroacupuncture (EA). The mechanism underlying the antinociceptive effects of repeated EA sessions, particularly concerning ...

μ‐Opioid Receptor Dynamics in the Parameningeal Tissue During Migraine Attacks
Objective The possible impact of meningeal μ‐opioid receptor (μOR) binding in migraine remains unknown. This study investigated μOR availability in the cranial parameninges involved in migraine initiation via nociceptor activation. Methods We used positron emission tomography with [11C] carfentanil, and measured μOR availability in meninges and ...

Molecular and cellular mechanisms of the age-dependency of opioid analgesia and tolerance
The age-dependency of opioid analgesia and tolerance has been noticed in both clinical observation and laboratory studies. Evidence shows that many molecular and cellular events that play essential roles in opioid analgesia and tolerance are actually age-

Mammalian Tolerance to Amino Acid Heterochirality
Organisms preferentially use l‐amino acids (l‐AAs). However, de novo synthesized l‐AAs are in part converted to d‐AAs. The ribosome has a robust system to use l‐AAs for protein synthesis, whereas non‐ribosomal synthesis can also use d‐AAs. Furthermore, some AA residues can be post‐translationally isomerized through enzymatic or spontaneous processes ...

Endogenous peripheral pain regulatory systems in orofacial pain patients
Introduction: Initiation of pulpal pain begins with the release of bacterial toxins and inflammatory mediators that either activate or sensitize nociceptors thereby activating the trigeminal pain pathway.

In‐hospital and 1 year incremental prognostic value of drug abuse detection in acute heart failure
Abstract Aims The study aims to assess the in‐hospital and 1 year incremental prognostic value of recent drug abuse use, detected by a systematic urinary screening, in a consecutive cohort of patients hospitalized for acute heart failure (AHF). Methods All patients admitted for AHF with a drug abuse screening using a urinary assay were included in this
