There is a long debate about how somatic sensations including touch, pain, itch, and temperature sensitivity are encoded by the nervous system. Research suggests that each sensory modality is processed along a fixed, direct-line communication system from the skin to the brain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eItch: Mechanisms and Treatment presents a timely update on all aspects of itch research and the clinical treatment of itch that accompanies many dermatological conditions including psoriasis, neuropathic itch, cutaneous t-cells lymphomas, and systemic diseases such as kidney and liver disease and cancer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComposed of contributions from distinguished researchers around the world, the book explores topics such as: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eNeuropathic itch\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ePeripheral neuronal mechanism of itch\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe role of PAR-2 in neuroimmune communication and itch\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eMrgprs as itch receptors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe role of interleukin-31 and oncostatin M in itch and neuroimmune communication\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpinal coding of itch and pain\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpinal microcircuits and the regulation of itch\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eExamining new findings on cellular and molecular mechanisms, the book is a compendium of the most current research on itch, its prevalence in society, and the problems associated with treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45236535099543,"sku":"9781466505438","price":15771.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781466505438.webp?v=1769213431","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/itch-mechanisms-and-treatment-9781466505438","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
