概括
时间对比增强 (TCE),一种疼痛调节现象,在有害的热,有害的寒冷和无害的寒冷刺激中观察到. 然而,TCE并没有被无害的热量诱导,这表明特定的热路会影响这种缓解疼痛的效果.
科学领域:
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 心理物理学的精神物理.
- 疼痛研究 疼痛研究
背景情况:
- 补偿止痛 (OA) 涉及减轻与减少有害输入不成比例的疼痛,与时间对比度增强 (TCE) 相关.
- 据认为,TCE涉及抑制性疼痛调节系统,但其机制,特别是与非疼痛刺激,尚不清楚.
- 之前的研究主要使用疼痛刺激,限制了对TCE概括性的理解.
研究的目的:
- 调查TCE是否可以通过有害和无害的热刺激 (热和冷) 来诱导.
- 探索不同热感觉在TCE现象中的作用.
- 为了解内源性疼痛调节的机制作出贡献.
主要方法:
- 一项试点研究 (n=17) 确定了有害和无害的热刺激的参数.
- 主要研究 (n=33) 使用了具有有害热 (NH),无害热 (IH),有害冷 (NC) 和无害冷 (IC) 的TCE范式.
- 用电子视觉模拟尺度测量感官强度.
主要成果:
- 对于NH (P < .001),NC (P = .034) 和IC (P = .002) 的TCE得到了确认.
- 对IH没有观察到TCE (P = 1.00).
- 不同方式的TCE之间没有发现显著的相关性 (r < .3,P > .05).
结论:
- 痛苦的热刺激和无害的寒冷可以诱导TCE,但无害的高温不能.
- 研究结果表明,A纤维激活在TCE中可能发挥作用,与IH中的C纤维参与形成对比.

Thermosensation
30.5K
Peripheral thermosensation is the perception of external temperature. A change in temperature (on the surface of the skin and other tissues) is detected by a family of temperature-sensitive ion channels called Transient Receptor Potential, or TRP, receptors. These receptors are located on free nerve endings. Those detecting cold temperatures are closer to the surface of the skin than the nerve endings detecting warmth. These thermoTRP channels, while temperature selective, have relatively...

Assessing Body Temperature - Temporal Artery
585
Here is a stepwise guide to assessing the body temperature at the temporal artery using a temporal artery thermometer
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and don a fresh pair of gloves to prevent cross-infection and ensure patient safety.
Step 2: Explain the procedure to the patient to establish trust. Clear communication establishes trust with the patient, ensures they understand what to expect, promotes cooperation, and enhances comfort during the procedure.
Step 3: Assess the patient's...

Assessing tympanic membrane temperature involves using a tympanic membrane thermometer (TMT). Here is a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Begin by practicing good hand hygiene to prevent the transmission of microorganisms.
Step 2: Turn on the thermometer and wait until the ready sign appears on the screen to ensure accurate measurement.
Step 3: Slide the probe cover in place to prevent cross-contamination.
Step 4: Instruct the patient to tilt their head to the side for comfort and check for cerumen...

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy

Phase-Contrast Microscopes
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...

Heat and temperature are essential concepts for everyone every day. The study of heat and temperature is part of an area of physics known as thermodynamics. It is not always easy to distinguish heat and temperature.
The concept of temperature has evolved from the common concepts of hot and cold. The scientific definition of temperature explains more than just our sense of hot and cold. Temperature is operationally defined as the quantity measured with a thermometer. Furthermore, temperature is...

Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature
1.1K
Body temperature can be assessed using various devices and measured in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Glass-bulb Thermometer:
Glass-bulb thermometers are hollow glass tubes with a bulb tip containing liquid such as ethanol or mercury. Historically, glass bulb mercury thermometers were the standard device to measure body temperature. Today, mercury thermometers are prohibited in many countries due to the hazardous effects of mercury and the risk of exposure if the glass bulb breaks. In general,...
