Dry eye reversal and corneal sensation restoration with topical naltrexone in diabetes mellitus.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To determine if topical application of naltrexone hydrochloride (NTX), an opioid antagonist, restores tear production and corneal sensation in rats with diabetes mellitus. METHODS: Type 1 diabetes was induced with streptozotocin in rats. ... Read more...

Low-dose 3 mg levobupivacaine plus 10 microg fentanyl selective spinal anesthesia for gynecological outpatient laparoscopy.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Lidocaine selective spinal anesthesia has been effective for short-duration gynecological outpatient laparoscopy. We compared the intraoperative effectiveness, anesthetic recovery times, and patient satisfaction after ... Read more...

The brain in its body: motor control and sensing in a biomechanical context.

12 Oct 2009 Although it is widely recognized that adaptive behavior emerges from the ongoing interactions among the nervous system, the body, and the environment, it has only become possible in recent years to experimentally study and to simulate these ... Read more...
