Pain – A Glimpse of Its History, Recent Understanding, Types and Pharmacotherapy
Abstract: Pain is defined as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage. For more than a century, views on the nature of pain sensation have been dominated by three major theories – the Specificity theory by Frey, the Intensivity theory by Goldscheider and the Gate-Control theory by Melzack and […]
Histogenesis of Human Gastric Musculature and Nerve Plexuses
Abstract: The knowledge of development of stomach including effective gastric emptying, and motor functions is essential for the provision of optimal nutritional care of the very preterm infant. The generation of functional neuromuscular activity within the pre-natal gastrointestinal tract requires the coordinated development of enteric neurons and glial cells and concentric layers of smooth muscle1. […]
The Effect of Exercise on Platelet Aggregability and Other Cardiovascular Parameters
Abstract: BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: The beneficial effect of regular exercise on physical fitness is well documented. However there is also evidence that acute and chronic exercise affect platelet activation in different ways. Few studies are available on effect of exercise on platelets function. Therefore, present work has been undertaken to study the effect of acute […]
