Persistent mechanical allodynia positively correlates with an increase in activated microglia and increased P‐p38 mitogen‐activated protein kinase activation in streptozotocin‐induced diabetic rats
In experimental early painful diabetic neuropathy, persistent hyperglycaemia induces dys‐regulated sodium channel (Navs) expression in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) and activates microglia in the… Expand
Left endobronchial intubation with a double‐lumen tube using direct laryngoscopy or the Trachway® video stylet
We compared direct laryngoscopy with a Macintosh blade vs indirect bronchoscopy with a Trachway® stylet, for endobronchial intubation with a left‐sided double‐lumen tube. We allocated participants… Expand
