Clinical examinations of 226 patients with periodontitis have revealed in 61% of them hyperesthesia of the hard dental tissues, that was mostly generalized, characterized by a marked reaction to thermal, chemical, and tactile stimulants. Study of the mineral metabolism has demonstrated that growing
A 66-year-old female developed chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) one year after the diagnosis of aplastic anemia. High-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) therapy, followed by IVIg maintenance therapy, rapidly improved her weakness and hyperesthesia in four extremities. In
METHODS
A 4-year-old sexually intact male mixed-breed dog was evaluated because of clinical signs of acute-onset pelvic limb ataxia, rapidly progressing to paraplegia with severe spinal hyperesthesia.
RESULTS
General physical examination revealed pyrexia, tachycardia, and tachypnea. Neurologic
BACKGROUND
The spinal mechanisms underlying the hyperesthetic state during inflammation are little understood. To gain a better understanding of these mechanisms, this study evaluated the effects of intrathecal morphine; MK-801, an N-methyl-D aspartic (NMDA) antagonist; and CP-96,345, an NK1
The effect of cyclosporin A in acute and chronically active inflammatory bowel disease was tested in 11 patients with Crohn's disease and two with ulcerative colitis who had exhibited a poor response to at least eight weeks of conventional therapy. Trough levels of the drug in the therapeutic range
BACKGROUND
The role of tachykinins, such as substance P and neurokinin A, in the development or maintenance of thermal hyperesthesia during inflammation is unclear. In the current study, the authors examined the role of NK1 and NK2 receptors on the thermal hyperesthesia evoked by injection of
A 53-year-old woman with chronic plaque psoriasis treated with adalimumab (antitumour necrosis factor (anti TNF) α therapy) for 10 months presented with an 8 week history of hyperesthesia in a 'glove and stocking' distribution and clumsiness on walking. Nerve conduction studies confirmed the
Previously, we observed significant increases in spinal 12-lipoxygenase (LOX) metabolites, in particular, hepoxilins, which contribute to peripheral inflammation-induced tactile allodynia. However, the enzymatic sources of hepoxilin synthase (HXS) activity in rats remain elusive. Therefore, we
A 1.5-year-old male Feist dog was presented to a veterinarian for reluctance to stand on the hind legs. Treatment included dexamethasone and resulted in a favorable initial response, but posterior paresis returned and progressed to recumbency, hyperesthesia, and attempts to bite the owner. The dog
Dysesthethic pain is a common complaint of patients with syringomyelia, traumatic paraplegia, and various myelopathic conditions. Because cavitary lesions of the spinal cord can be defined with good resolution by magnetic resonance imaging, syringomyelia provides a potential model for examining
BACKGROUND
We present a patient with idiopathic spinal cord herniation (ISCH) whose dura mater was histopathologically examined to elucidate its pathogenesis.
METHODS
A 33-year-old previously healthy man presented with progressive walking difficulty, spasticity of the right lower leg, and
A 60-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of pyrexia, headache, gait disturbance, and sensory disturbance in the lower part of the body four days after she received an epidural block for postherpetic neuralgia. Neurological tests revealed neck stiffness, flaccid paraparesis in the
BACKGROUND
Neuropathy is one of the major complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Our first aim was to determine the clinical characteristics of a population of diabetic patients with different types of neuropathy. Our next goal was to characterize the cytokine profile (IL-6 and IL-10), nerve
A 5-year-old, castrated male mixed-breed dog was presented for paraparesis, ataxia, hyperesthesia, and thrombocytopenia of 5 months' duration and recurrent seizures during the preceding 2 weeks. Multifocal neurological, ophthalmological, pulmonary, and cardiac diseases were identified. Magnetic
