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.

The contribution of peripheral nerves to the pleasure from scratching an itch: Evidence from a neuronopathy participant

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Acute itch was experimentally induced using histamine and cowage in control participants (with no neuronopathy) and in IW, a participant with a large‐fibre sensory neuronopathy resulting in the loss of Aβ afferent function below C3, at the same time as largely preserving Aδ and C‐fibre function.

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).

An Investigation of the Psychosocial Outcomes of Dry Eye Disease Treatment in Children with Computer Vision Syndrome

Türk Oftalmoloji Dergisi
Objectives: Computer vision syndrome (CVS) is a common disorder among children and is often associated with dry eye disease (DED). While researchers have shown a higher prevalence of psychopathology in older patients with DED, the impact of CVS-induced ...

The influence of force on the encoding and perception of affective touch

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend By combining perceptual experiments with neuronal recordings, we obtained ratings of perceived pleasantness and intensity during stroking touch applied at different velocities and forces and we recorded the single‐unit activity from seven C‐low‐threshold mechanoreceptors (C‐LTMRs) during similar tactile stimulation. We found that

The New Economics of Cape Slavery

South African Journal of Economics, Volume 94, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT In this survey, I argue that the Cape Colony has become one of the most useful settings for studying the economics of unfree labour. The Cape offers a distinctive combination: a slavery regime linking the Indian Ocean and Atlantic worlds, an urban and agrarian economy, overlapping labour regimes and archives rich enough for linked micro‐data ...

Correlation of tear fluorescein clearance and schirmer test scores with ocular irritation symptoms

, 1999
To correlate and compare the Schirmer 1 test and a new method of measuring tear fluorescein clearance with the CytoFluor II fluorometer with the severity of ocular irritation symptoms, clinical signs of meibomian gland disease, corneal fluorescein ...

Cracking the Code: Which Ocular Symptoms Predict Dry Eye Signs? Insights From a Large International Sicca Registry

Arthritis Care &Research, Volume 78, Issue 11, Page 1679-1690, November 2026.
Objective The study aimed to identify symptom‐based predictors of dry eye disease (DED) signs in the Sjögren's International Collaborative Clinical Alliance (SICCA) cohort. Methods We performed a retrospective analysis examining 16 ocular symptoms (most graded 0–4) and artificial tear (AT) use (graded 0–3) as predictors of DED signs (abnormal ocular ...
