Development of galanin-containing nerve fibres in rat tibia.

4 Nov 2009 Galanin exerts tonic inhibition of nociceptive input to the central nervous system. Recently, this peptide was demonstrated in several neuronal and non-neuronal structures in bones and joints. In this study, the time of appearance and topographic ... Read more...

Myopia affects retinal nerve fiber layer measurements as determined by optical coherence tomography.

30 Aug 2009 PURPOSE: To determine whether increasing myopia is associated with thinner peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) when measured by Stratus optical coherence tomography (OCT). DESIGN: Observational cross-sectional study. METHODS: Normal ... Read more...

Measurements and mapping of 282,420 nerve fibers in the S1-5 nerve roots.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECT: The study aims to analyze nerve fiber types in the sacral nerve roots as a prerequisite for stimulation. METHODS: One-micrometer cross-sections of human ventral and dorsal S1-5 roots were stained with osmium and toluidine blue. The total ... Read more...
