POSTURAL STABILITY IS ALTERED BY THE STIMULATION OF PAIN BUT NOT WARM RECEPTORS IN HUMANS

Abstract Background It is now recognized that large diameter myelinated afferents provide the primary source of lower limb proprioceptive information for maintaining an upright standing position.Small diameter afferents transmitting noxious stimuli, however, can also influence motor behaviors.Despite the possible influence of pain on motor behavior

Rickettsiosis is caused by Orientia spp.and Rickettsia spp., arthropod-borne zoonotic intracellular bacteria.The close relationships between pet dogs, cats and owners increase the risk of rickettsial transmission, with limited studies on the seroprevalence in pets.This study investigated the prevalence of rickettsia exposure among dogs and cats in
