Mechanism of dexmedetomidine preconditioning on spinal cord analgesia in rats with functional chronic visceral pain

Acta cir. bras; 37 (2), 2022
Purpose: To analyze the effect and mechanism of dexmedetomidine (DEX) analgesia pretreatment on functional chronic visceral pain in rats. Methods: Rats were divided into six groups: W1, W2, W3, W4, W5, and W6. The behavioral changes and electrophysiological indexes of rats in each group before and after...

Forward masking with frequency-following response analyses

Rev. CEFAC; 23 (2), 2021
ABSTRACT Purpose: to analyze forward masking in normally hearing young people, by using frequency-following responses. Methods: the synthetic syllable /da/ was used for the recordings of ten individuals, in the following conditions: /da/ with no masking, and /da/ after 4, 16, 32, and 64 milliseconds of...

The prognostic value of demyelinating electrophysiologic findings and cerebrospinal fluid protein levels in acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 78 (8), 2020
ABSTRACT Background: Guillain-Barre syndrome is an acute immune-mediated polyneuropathy characterized by rapidly evolving symptoms and disability. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis and electrophysiological studies are crucial in the diagnosis of this syndrome. Objective: To evaluate the prognostic value o...

Electrophysiological responses to different follicle-stimulating hormone isoforms on human cumulus oophorus cells: preliminary results

Abstract Objective The aim of the present study was to provide a better understanding of the specific action of two follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) isoforms (β-follitropin and sheep FSH) on the membrane potential of human cumulus cells. Methods Electrophysiological data were associated with t...

Applicability of Evoked Auditory Brainstem Responses with Complex Stimuli in Adults with Hearing Loss

Abstract Introduction The use of the speech-evoked auditory brainstem response (ABR) shows how the brainstem operates up to the subcortex in a more complexmanner than when the click-evoked ABR is used. Objective To study the applicability of the speech-evoked ABR in adults with hearing loss. Methods...

Amusia and its electrophysiological correlates in neurofibromatosis type 1

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 76 (5), 2018
ABSTRACT Auditory processing deficits are common in people with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and they often report difficulties in musical performance. Objective: We investigated whether NF1 could be associated with amusia as well as with some impairment of primary auditory cortex activity. Methods: ...

Microscopic aspects of electrosensory system on the partially euryhaline lesser guitarfish

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 90 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT The electrosensory system on elasmobranchs consists of subcutaneous electroreceptor organs known as ampullae of Lorenzini. The present study investigated the ampullae of Lorenzini morphology of the lesser guitarfish Zapteryx brevirostris, using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. ...

Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome: the 60th anniversary of Eaton and Lambert's pioneering article

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 76 (2), 2018
ABSTRACT This historical review describes the contribution of Drs. Lee M. Eaton and Edward H. Lambert to the diagnosis of myasthenic syndrome on the 60th anniversary of their pioneering article (JAMA 1957) on the disease. There are important landmarks in their article on a disorder of the neuromuscular j...
