Thalamic neurometabolite alterations in chronic low back pain: a common phenomenon across musculoskeletal pain conditions?

Recently, we showed that patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) demonstrate alterations in the thalamic concentrations of several metabolites compared with healthy controls: higher myo-inositol (mIns), lower N-acetylaspartate (NAA), and lower […]

Prevalence of Chronic Pruritus in Elderly Black and White Inpatients: A Comparative Population Study.

Black and geriatric patients were reported in small scale studies to have more intense chronic pruritus (CP). Studies comparing itch across geriatric racial groups are lacking.

Higher Cardiovagal Baroreflex Sensitivity Predicts Increased Pain Outcomes after Cardiothoracic Surgery.

Excessive postoperative pain can lead to extended hospitalization and increased expenses, but factors that predict its severity are still unclear. Baroreceptor function could influence postoperative pain by modulating nociceptive processing […]

IL-33/ST2 signaling in the pathogenesis of chronic pain and itch.

Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is an inflammatory factor with an extensive range of biological effects and pleiotropic roles in diseases. Evidence suggests that IL-33 and its receptor ST2 play a pivotal role […]

Moderate mechanical strain and exercise reduce inflammation and excessive autophagy in osteoarthritis by downregulating mitofusin 2.

The major pathological mechanisms of osteoarthritis (OA) progression include inflammation, autophagy, and apoptosis, etc. Moderate mechanical strain and exercise effectively improve chondrocyte degeneration by reducing these adverse factors. Mitofusin 2 […]

Sex-related exacerbation of injury-induced mechanical hypersensitivity in GAD67 haplodeficient mice.

Decreased GABA levels in injury-induced loss of spinal inhibition are still under intense interest and debate. Here, we show that GAD67 haplodeficient mice exhibited a prolonged injury-induced mechanical hypersensitivity in […]
