Article Abstract

Changes in behavioral parameters in the open field and elevated plus maze tests were studied in female rats with experimental osteoarthritis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) caused by intra-articular injection of sodium monoiodoacetate (16 mg/kg). In the elevated plus maze, the animals with experimental pain syndrome demonstrated the following dynamics of behavioral parameters: the latency of leaving the central platform and the time spent in closed arms increased, while the number of visits to closed arms and numbers of head dips and rearings decreased on day 25 of the experiment in comparison with the baseline levels. In the open-field, the latency of the first movement and grooming time increased and the number of objects explored decreased by day 26. Changes in the behavior of rats with pain syndrome manifested in a pronounced inhibition of orientation and exploratory activity, increased anxiety, and suppression of motor activity and persisted for a long time after injection of sodium monoiodoacetate into TMJ.

Objective: To analyze the filum terminale (FT) of children with tethered cord syndrome (TCS) and aborted fetuses without neurological disorders in order to investigate the expression of significantly differentially expressed proteins in the FT under both pathological and physiological conditions.

Methods: According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 35 FT samples were selected, and the samples were subjected to immunohistochemistry and H&E staining. The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance, and P < 0.

Introduction: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common sensorimotor disorder that primarily affects the lower extremities. This condition is characterized by unpleasant sensations and an irresistible urge to move the affected body regions, typically during periods of rest or at night. While RLS most commonly involves the legs, atypical variants affecting other body parts, including the arms, abdomen, face, and even the head, have increasingly been reported.

Introduction: Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and Gulf War Illness (GWI) have similar profiles of pain (nociception), visceral interoception, and tenderness (central sensitization) that may be due to dysfunction of midbrain and medulla descending antinociceptive and antiinteroceptive mechanisms. If so, then dolorimetry, a proxy for tenderness, may be correlated with subjective symptoms. The relationship with fatigue was assessed in Chronic Idiopathic Fatigue (CIF).

Background: Oral behaviours, both functional and non-functional, are commonly reported and can negatively impact oral health. Among orofacial pain patients, non-functional oral behaviours have been observed in association with elevated psychosocial factors. However, the extent to which these findings apply to individuals without orofacial pain remains inconclusive.
