Ritual coordination of medical pluralism in highland Nepal: Implications for policy
(Elsevier, 1988)
In highland Nepal, just as in many other regions of South Asia, multiple indigenous healing traditions and a variety of traditional curing specialists co-exist in a pluralistic cultural environment. It is argued that the ...
Susceptibility to sensitization. I. Sex differences in the enduring effects of chronic -amphetamine treatment on locomotion, stereotyped behavior and brain monoamines
(Elsevier, 1988-09-01)
There are sex differences in a number of behaviors elicited by amphetamine (AMPH). The purpose of the present experiment was to determine if there are also sex differences in the sensitization of the locomotor activity and ...
Collateral sprouting of nociceptive C-fibers after cut or capsaicin treatment of the sciatic nerve in adult rats
(Elsevier, 1988-08-01)
The innervation area of nociceptive C-fibers in the saphenous nerve of adult rats was detected by the Evans blue technique, in which antidromic excitation of the nociceptive C-fibers causes a visible extravasation of dye ...
Stabilization of tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) reaction product at the electron microscopic level by ammonium molybdate
(Elsevier, 1988-10)
The ability to use the tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) method for studying neuronal connections at the electron microscopic level is often difficult because the conditions of osmification and dehydration used in processing the ...
Reduction of the same calcium current component by A and C kinases: Differential pertussis toxin sensitivity
(Elsevier, 1988-05-16)
Voltage-clamp techniques were used to study the effect of forskolin, 8-Br-cyclic AMP, and phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) on the 3 voltage-dependent calcium current components of mouse dorsal root ganglion neurons in ...
Systemic hormonal and physiological abnormalities in anxiety disorders
(Elsevier, 1988)
Among the studies of systemic hormonal and physiological abnormalities associated with anxiety disorders, the most consistent and extensive findings suggest (a) peripheral adrenergic hyperactivity (including increases in ...
Susceptibility to sensitization. II. The influence of gonadal hormones on enduring changes in brain monoamines and behavior produced by the repeated administration of -amphetamine or restraint stress
(Elsevier, 1988-09-01)
Repeated amphetamine use produces an enduring sensitization of brain dopamine (DA) systems and behavior. Repeated exposure to stress can also produce sensitization, and amphetamine and stress may be interchangeable in this ...
Antigen recognized by monoclonal antibodies to mesencephalic neural crest and to ciliary ganglion neurons is involved in the high affinity choline uptake mechanism in these cells
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1988-10)
High-affinity choline uptake mechanisms are among the characteristics of cholinergic neurons such as the ciliary and choroid subpopulations in the ciliary ganglion (Barald and Berg, 1979). We have produced three monoclonal ...
Modeling and analyzing HIV transmission: the effect of contact patterns
(Elsevier, 1988-12)
A compartmental model is presented for the spread of HIV in a homosexual population divided into subgroups by degree of sexual activity. The model includes constant recruitment rates for the susceptibles in the subgroups. ...
Hemispherectomy and diaschisis: Rapid improvement in cerebral functions after right hemispherectomy in a six year old child
(Elsevier, 1988)
Neuroradiological, neurological, and neuropsychological studies before and after hemispherectomy for seizures of a six year old boy with left hemiplegia at birth revealed striking postoperative improvement. Seizures ceased ...
