Psychophysical and functional imaging evidence supporting the presence of central sensitization in a cohort of osteoarthritis patients.

13 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: The groin pain experienced by patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA) is often accompanied by areas of referred pain and changes in skin sensitivity. We aimed to identify the supraspinal influences that underlie these clinical ... Read more...

Central sensitization: a generator of pain hypersensitivity by central neural plasticity.

30 Aug 2009 Central sensitization represents an enhancement in the function of neurons and circuits in nociceptive pathways caused by increases in membrane excitability and synaptic efficacy as well as to reduced inhibition and is a manifestation of the ... Read more...

Recent findings on the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma. Part II. The role of hormonal predisposition, environmental influences and conditioning leading to bronchial asthma.

30 Aug 2009 In this second part of the review on the pathogenesis of asthma the hormonal factors and adverse external events are shortly reviewed which skew the balance of Th1 vs. Th2 CD4+ lymphocytes towards the latter ones and this way increase the ... Read more...
