Investigating Mechanically Activated Currents from Trigeminal Neurons of Non-Human Primates.

Introduction: Pain sensation has predominantly mechanical modalities in many pain conditions. Mechanically activated (MA) ion channels on sensory neurons underly responsiveness to mechanical stimuli. The study aimed to address gaps in knowledge regarding MA current properties in higher order species such as non-human primates (NHP; common marmosets), and characterization of MA currents in trigeminal (TG) neuronal subtypes.

Degenerative and regenerative peripheral processes are associated with persistent painful chemotherapy-induced neuropathies in males and females.

This study investigated the time course of gene expression changes during the progression of persistent painful neuropathy caused by paclitaxel (PTX) in male and female mouse hindpaws and dorsal root ganglia (DRG). Bulk RNA-seq was used to examine these gene expression changes at 1, 16, and 31 days post-last PTX. At these time points, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were predominantly related to the reduction or increase in epithelial, skin, bone, and muscle development and to angiogenesis, myelination, axonogenesis, and neurogenesis.

THE ROLE OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE DIAGNOSIS AND PSYCHOTHERAPY OF MENTAL DISORDERS: AN ANALYSIS OF PRACTICAL APPROACHES.

Emotional intelligence (EI) is an important psychological aspect that has a significant impact on the diagnosis and psychotherapy of mental disorders. It includes the ability to effectively recognise, understand, and regulate one's own emotions, as well as the ability to perceive and interact with the emotions of others. The purpose of the study was to assess and compare the role of emotional intelligence (EI) in different methods of diagnosing and treating mental disorders, as well as its impact on therapy outcomes.

Degenerative and regenerative peripheral processes are associated with persistent painful chemotherapy-induced neuropathies in males and females.

This study aimed to investigate the time course of gene expression changes during the progression of persistent painful neuropathy caused by paclitaxel (PTX) in male and female mouse hind paws and dorsal root ganglia (DRG). Bulk RNA-seq was used to investigate the gene expression changes in the paw and DRG collected at 1, 16, and 31 days post-PTX. At these time points, differentially expressed DEGs were predominantly related to reduction or increase in epithelial, skin, bone, and muscle development and to angiogenesis, myelination, axonogenesis, and neurogenesis.
