Peripheral Neuropathy in its simplest definition is damage to the peripheral nerves — nerves located outside the brain and spinal cord. It is a relatively common condition that is not isolated to any ...

The authors of a review article published in Nature Reviews Rheumatology proposed a practical framework to guide care for pain in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), categorizing SLE symptoms into two ...

In this study, a photothermal pain sensing neural platform for fire scenarios was implemented based on the integration of a multigate Li-ion electrolyte-gated transistor device with a thermoelectric ...

This review aims at presenting a current view on the physiopathologic mechanisms associated with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). While joint pain is characterized by a well-defined inflammatory ...

Sensitization occurs when repeated exposure to certain chemicals leads to an allergic reaction. The main routes for sensitization are direct skin contact to chemical products or inhalation of chemical ...

The dorsal horn of the spinal cord represents the first site in the central nervous system (CNS) where nociceptive signals are integrated. As a result, there has been a rapid growth in the number of ...

As physicians, we know that many of the most common diseases could be prevented—or even reversed—through sustained behavior change. Behavior change is far more complex than medical adherence—it ...
