A Clinical Correlation Made Between Opioid-induced Hyperalgesia and Hyperkatifeia with Brain Alterations Induced by Long-term Prescription Opioid Use
Abstract: The goal of this article is to establish a correlation between the clinical manifestations of opioid-induced hyperalgesia and hyperkatifeia with the morphological and functional connectivity changes seen in the human brain that can be caused by long-term prescription opioid use. This will be accomplished by reviewing the imaging results found in a small but unique study that demonstrated morphological and functional connectivity changes in long-term prescription opioid users. The primary …

Effect of Chronic Inescapable Footshock and Antidepressant Treatment on BDNF/TrkB Levels in Rat Hippocampus
Abstract: Depression is a major health problem globally. Chronic stress arising out of life style or social factors may trigger depression, the molecular basis of which has been attributed to alterations of brain chemicals like neurotrophins. Among these neurotrophins, brain-derived neurotrophic factor regulates many physiological functions in the brain, alteration of which has been well associated with the pathogenesis of depression. Stress-induced helplessness in rodents constitutes a well-defined model to investigate …

Stem Cell Therapy for Hemorrhagic Stroke: A Single Case Study Report
Abstract: Stroke is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Stem cell therapy holds a great promise where transplanted cells can migrate at the site of injury and trigger regeneration of neurons that can lead to functional improvement. The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of autologous bone marrow and allogeneic cord blood stem cell transplantation in hemorrhagic stroke patients. In the present case report, autologous bone …
