Quantitative objective assessment of peripheral nociceptive C fibre function.
A technique is described for the quantitative assessment of peripheral nociceptive C fibre function by measurement of the axon reflex flare. Acetylcholine, introduced by electrophoresis, is used to stimulate a ring of nociceptive C fibre endings at the centre of which the increase in blood flow is measured with a laser Doppler flowmeter. This flare (neurogenic vasodilatation) has been compared ...
متن کاملAction potential conduction in the terminal arborisation of nociceptive C-fibre afferents.
Recordings of single human peroneal C-fibres and rat saphenous C-fibres confirm two different patterns of conduction at branching points. In general, an action potential (AP) arising from one terminal branch may be propagated not only centrally, but also antidromically into the other branches of the terminal arborisation. If a stimulus activates several converging branches of one unit, at each ...
متن کاملSubjective and objective assessment of oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy
Numbness and pain are currently evaluated using subjective methods such as the visual analog scale (VAS). However, because assessment of pain can vary greatly depending on the mood and physical state of the patient at the time of assessment, it is best to evaluate pain objectively. pain vision PS-2100 (PV) is an analytical instrument that was designed to quantitatively and objectively assess se...
متن کاملObjective, Quantitative, Data-Driven Assessment of Chemical Probes
Chemical probes are essential tools for understanding biological systems and for target validation, yet selecting probes for biomedical research is rarely based on objective assessment of all potential compounds. Here, we describe the Probe Miner: Chemical Probes Objective Assessment resource, capitalizing on the plethora of public medicinal chemistry data to empower quantitative, objective, da...
متن کاملassessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea
data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
