Contact Heat Evoked Potentials Are Responsive to Peripheral Sensitization: Requisite Stimulation Parameters [PDF]
The sensitizing effect of capsaicin has been previously characterized using laser and contact heat evoked potentials (LEPs and CHEPs) by stimulating in the primary area of hyperalgesia.

Peripheral mechanism of hyperalgesia--sensitization of nociceptors. [PDF]
The peripheral mechanism of hyperalgesia is considered to be the result of nociceptor sensitization. As possible agents causing nociceptor sensitization, bradykinin, histamine, prostaglandin (PG)s, protons and nerve growth factor are evaluated with respect to their release into the injured tissue, their sensitizing potencies.

Neuropathic pain is mainly triggered after nerve injury and associated with plasticity of the nociceptive pathway in primary sensory neurons. Currently, the treatment remains a challenge. In order to identify specific therapeutic targets, it is necessary

Sensitization to common ragweed in Southern Bavaria: clinical and geographical risk factors in atopic patients [PDF]
Background: Sensitization to common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) is associated with a variety of risk factors, which are incompletely defined. Our aim was to evaluate the association of a variety of clinical, geographical and demographical variables

CXCL1/CXCR2 signaling in pathological pain: Role in peripheral and central sensitization
Pathological pain conditions can be triggered after peripheral nerve injury and/or inflammation. It is associated with plasticity of nociceptive pathway in which pain is prolonged even after healing of the injured tissue.

Pain sensitization in hand osteoarthritis
Pain sensitization, i.e. increased pain sensitivity, contribute to chronic pain in many conditions. This thesis examined the relevance of peripheral and central pain sensitization in persons with hand osteoarthritis (OA).

Contributions of microRNAs to Peripheral Insulin Sensitivity
Abstract An extensive literature base combined with advances in sequencing technologies demonstrate microRNA levels correlate with various metabolic diseases. Mechanistic studies also establish microRNAs regulate central metabolic pathways and thus play vital roles in maintaining organismal energy balance and metabolic homeostasis.

Contrast sensitivity of the human peripheral retina [PDF]
Abstract Threshold contrasts were measured psychophysically for a sinusoidal grating target centered 12° in the peripheral retina. The relationship between contrast sensitivity, the reciprocal of the threshold contrast, and the spatial frequency of the gratings can be adequately described by the difference of two Gaussian functions. The parameters of
