There is increasing recognition that aging can have a profound effect on the presentation of illness. Older patients with diseases of visceral organs are much more likely than younger adults to present atypically. Examples are the frequent absence of pain in older patients with conditions such as
The medial prefrontal cortex is a key area for the regulation of pain and emotion. However, the functional involvement of the medial prefrontal cortex for visceral nociception, at the neuronal or synaptic level, is obscure yet. In the present study, the properties of excitatory and inhibitory
A 59-year-old man had loss of pin-prick and temperature sensation over his head, face, neck, trunk, and all extremities while light touch, vibration, joint position sense, and deep pain were preserved. This was the cumulative result of infarctions in the territories of the right superior cerebellar
Rats with experimentally-induced acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have proven to be a clinically relevant model for visceral pain. As there are no behavioral data available on rats in the postinfarction period, we aimed to identify specific pain-related behavioral changes following AMI to increase
Angina pectoris is a common clinical symptom that often results from myocardial infarction. One typical characteristic of angina pectoris is that the pain does not match the severity of the myocardial ischemia. One possible explanation is that the intensity of cardiac nociceptive information could
OBJECTIVE
To determine the diagnostic value of single symptoms and signs for coronary heart disease (CHD) in patients with chest pain.
METHODS
Searches of two electronic databases (EMBASE 1980 to March 2008, PubMed 1966 to May 2009) and hand searching in seven journals were conducted. Eligible
Purinergic signalling, i.e., the role of nucleotides as extracellular signalling molecules, was proposed in 1972. However, this concept was not well accepted until the early 1990's when receptor subtypes for purines and pyrimidines were cloned and characterised, which includes four subtypes of the
