Purpose: The sensorimotor cortex oscillations (frequency ranging between 12 and 15 Hz), commonly known as Sensorimotor Rhythm (SMR) has previously displayed a promising link between the performance of the visuomotor related to skill execution and part of psychology that is adaptive (e.g. the process linked attention which is automatic). This study examined the extent of SMR power in the executi...

background and objectives: previous studies have shown the antinociceptive effect of morphine in animal models, but the specific anti-pain consequence of the abuse drug in female animals is unclear. the present research showed the morphine antinociception in female wistar rats using formalin test. materials and methods: subjects were 40 female wistar rats purchased from pasteur institute of ira...

results all doses of g. vitellinum extract induced anti-nociception activity during the first and second phases of the formalin test. the extract showed a significant (p < 0.05) dose-related inhibition during the first phase compared to the control group. in the second phase of the formalin test, the extract showed analgesic activity comparable to the effect of morphine. in pre-treatment with n...

Fruits of Olea europaea L. have been used for centuries in folk medicine to treat many inflammatory diseases. In order to evaluate the anti-nociceptive activities of the methanolic and aqueous extracts of defatted fruits of O. europaea, formalin test was used and for evaluation of anti-inflammatory effects of the extract, the volume of paw edema was measured. The results revealed that both extr...

patients with organic acidemia are prone to different infections, which lead to acidosis episodes. some studies have evaluated the status of immune system in acidotic phase in these patients, but to the best of our knowledge no study has evaluated the immune system in non-acidotic phase of the disease. in this study, thirty-one patients with organic acidemia were enrolled. for evaluation of hum...

Background and Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between the hepatitis B virus surface Ag (HBsAg) genotypes and variations in the clinical/serological pictures among HBsAg positive chronic patients from South Khorasan province of Iran. Methods: Twenty-five patients were enrolled in this study. The HBs Ag gene was amplified and was directly sequenced. Genotypes and nuc...

  In this study interaction of three types of calcium channel blockers nifedipine, diltiazem and verapamil on the effects of lead acetate on two types of pain (nociception and inflammation) induced by formalin in mice were examined. In order to study nociception, formalin test was selected because of greater resemblance to clinical pain. Lead acetate (50, 75, l00, 125 and 150 mg/kg) administere...

Anti-inflammatory effects of acetonic and methanolic extracts of aerial parts of Stachys byzanthina were investigated in this study. For assessment of anti-inflammatory properties, two well-characterized inflammatory models, formalin test and carrageenan-induced paw edema were used. In the former, the recording of the early phase started immediately after formalin injection and lasted for 10 mi...

objective(s): we performed a phase iia clinical trial of trans-1-amino-3-18ffluoro-cyclobutane carboxylic acid (anti-18f-facbc), a synthetic amino acid analog for pet, in patients with metastatic prostate cancer. methods: the study subjects consisted of 10 untreated prostate cancer patients having lymph node and/or bone metastasis. five patients underwent whole-body pet 5 and 30 min after intra...
