PURPOSE The aim of this study was to measure the efficacy of a single 60 min application of capsaicin 8% patch in reducing chronic amputation stump and phantom limb pain, associated hypersensitivity with quantitative sensory testing, and changes in brain cortical maps using functional MRI (fMRI) scans. METHODS A capsaicin 8% patch (Qutenza) treatment study was conducted on 14 patients with si...

Accurate knowledge of individual tree ages is critical for forestry and ecological research. However, previous methods suffer from flaws such as damage, low efficiency, or ignoring autocorrelation among residuals. In this paper, an approach estimating the trees proposed based on diameter series Cinnamomum camphora (Cinnamomum (L.) Presl), Schima superba (Schima Gardn. et Champ.), Liquidambar fo...

The Sauvé–Kapandji procedure is an established treatment option for distal radioulnar joint dysfunction. We retrospectively analysed 36 patients following between 1997 and 2013. Fifteen were available a follow-up after mean of 13 years (range 6 to 23). Six needed revision surgery because ulnar stump instability. Radiographs sonography performed quantify the instability proximal stump. These sho...

In adult rats that sustained forelimb amputation on the day of birth, >30% of multiunit recording sites in the forelimb-stump representation of primary somatosensory cortex (SI) also respond to cutaneous hindlimb stimulation when cortical GABA(A+B) receptors are blocked (GRB). This study examined whether hindlimb receptive fields could also be revealed in forelimb-stump sites by reducing one kn...
