The effect of a thoracic spinal block on fos expression in the lumbar spinal cord of the rat induced by a noxious electrical stimulus at the hindpaw.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Fos expression in the lumbar spinal cord, resulting from a noxious electrical stimulus at the hindpaw, is hypothesized to originate from three sources: direct sensory input of the noxious stimulus, local interactions in the spinal cord, ... Read more...

Progressive interdigital cell death: regulation by the antagonistic interaction between fibroblast growth factor 8 and retinoic acid.

30 Oct 2009 The complete cohort of molecules involved in interdigital cell death (ICD) and their interactions are yet to be defined. Bmp proteins, retinoic acid (RA) and Fgf8 have been previously identified as relevant factors in the control of ICD. Here we ... Read more...

Translation of remote ischaemic preconditioning into clinical practice.

29 Oct 2009 Reduction of the burden of ischaemia-reperfusion injury is the aim of most treatments for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. Although many strategies have proven benefit in the experimental arena, few have translated to clinical practice. ... Read more...
