Evaluation of the sensation in patients with trigeminal post-herpetic neuralgia.
Post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) is one complication after herpes zoster infection, which may affect the facial superficial sensitivity. ⋯ Age, predominance of trigeminal PHN in V1 and continuous burning pain was common and similar to literature. Sensation was hampered with evident deficits of all sensory modalities in the affected trigeminal areas, especially V1.

Application of fluorescence microscopy on hematoxylin and eosin-stained sections of healthy and diseased teeth and supporting structures.
Destruction of dental tissue and supporting structures is usually microscopically assessed by routine hematoxylin and eosin (HE)-stained sections. This short communication is concerned with the potential role of fluorescence microscopy of HE-stained sections to study morphological aspects of intact and pathological teeth in dental research. ⋯ This technique also improves the visualization of the root and bone resorption and the delineation of the periapical lesion extension. The fluorescence microscopy technique of HE-stained sections is an easy, reliable and inexpensive method that seems to be a useful tool for evaluating morphological aspects of intact and pathological teeth in dental research.
