visceral pain/fever

Familial Mediterranean fever is a hereditary disease characterized by recurrent attacks of fever and serosal inflammation that commonly presents as severe abdominal pain. Though colchicine remains the mainstay of treatment, a significant proportion of patients are partially responsive, unresponsive

The five different types of the rare hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies (HSAN) are classified by their mode of inheritance, pathology, natural history, biochemical, neurophysiologic and autonomic abnormalities. Clinically, the different types of HSANs can be identified by a detailed

To clarify potential relationships between chief complaints of patients and laboratory data with a focus on aging-related changes, we retrospectively analyzed the data of 843 patients who visited a general medicine department for the first time. Their chief complaints were classified into 8 major

BACKGROUND The root extract of Albizia zygia (DC.) J.F. Macbr. (Leguminosae-Mimosoideae) is traditionally used in the management of pain and fever. However, little scientific data exists in literature to support its use. OBJECTIVE The present study evaluated the anti-nociceptive and antipyretic

Critical to reducing patient morbidity as well as heightened ethical awareness, alleviation of pain in animals has become integral to medical case management and surgical procedures. Pharmacotherapy is directed at peripheral nociceptors, primary and secondary spinal neurons, and pain-processing

The antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic effects along with gastric safety profile of parecoxib, a novel, potent selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibiting prodrug, and those of ketorolac, a nonselective cyclooxygenase inhibitor, were evaluated in various animal models. Parecoxib (up to 20

BACKGROUND This study was done to compare post-cesarean delivery pain associated with routine exteriorization of the uterus versus in situ uterine repair in the puerperium. METHODS This prospective study included 206 women who underwent cesarean delivery under general anesthesia and who were

Preclinical research has recently uncovered new molecular mechanisms underlying the generation and transduction of pain, many of which represent opportunities for pharmacological intervention. Manipulating temperature-sensitive Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels (so-called "thermoTRPs") on
