The experience of pain in humans is modulated by endogenous opioids, but it is largely unknown how the opioid system adapts to chronic pain states. Animal models of chronic pain point to upregulation of opioid receptors (OpR) in the brain, with unknown functional significance. We sought evidence for a similar relationship between chronic pain and OpR availability in humans. Using positron emiss...

Methods: A comprehensive review of published studies without a time limit was explored by searching the keywords, titles, and abstracts. Studies were obtained from the Web of Science, Scopus, P...

electronic effects were investigated on the singlet–triplet energy gaps of divalent unsaturated seven- membered ring r2c6h6m (m=c, si, ge, sn, pb, r= –h, -ch3, i-pr , t-bu) at b3lyp/6-311++g** level. all the triplet states of r2c6h6c were more stable than the related the singlet states while all the singlet states of r2c6h6m (m= si, ge, sn, pb, r= –h, -ch3, i-pr , t-bu) were more stable than th...

We present a model with agency costs where heterogeneous firms raise finance through either bank loans or corporate bonds and where banks are more efficient than the market in resolving informational problems. We document some major long-run differences in corporate finance between the United States and the euro area, and show that our model can explain those differences based on information av...
