A Cross-Sectional Study on Neuropathic Pain Associated With Quality of Sleep in Spondylosis Patients.

Introduction: Neuropathic pain (NP) is common in spondylosis patients. Cervical and lumbar spondylosis are more common in the elderly population. Spondylosis patients also suffer from poor quality of sleep (QOS).

Functions of potassium channels blocked by low micromolar 4-aminopyridine in the crayfish nervous system.

4-aminopyridine (4-AP) is a potassium channel blocker that has been used to treat patients with multiple sclerosis and Lambert-Eaton disease. The concentration of this drug in the blood of patients was estimated to be in low or submicromolar range. Animal studies have shown that 4-AP at such low concentration selectively blocks a subset of channels in Kv1 or Kv3 families.

Domestic Violence During Pregnancy: Evaluating the Impact on Maternal and Perinatal Health-A Pilot Study in Uttar Pradesh.

Introduction: Domestic Violence [DV] is a global health problem of pandemic proportions. WHO identifies it as psychological, physical or sexual violence or threats of the same, in the premises of one's home. The perpetrator can be husband, intimate partner, friend or a family member.

Comprehending Optimality of Finger Flexor Tendon Pulley System Using Computational Analysis.

Existing prosthetic/orthotic designs are rarely based on kinetostatics of a biological finger, especially its tendon-pulley system (TPS). Whether a biological TPS is optimal for use as a reference, say for design purposes, and if so, in what sense, is also relatively unknown. We expect an optimal TPS to yield a high range of flexion while operating with lower tendon tension, bowstringing, and pulley stresses.
