Measurement of perception thresholds for electrical noise stimuli.
Karpul D, McIntyre S, van Schaik A, Breen PP
In previous research, the application of sub-threshold electrical nerve stimulation (SENS) to peripheral nerves has been shown to improve tactile sensitivity. SENS has applications in the symptomatic treatment of a wide array of conditions that result in the loss of peripheral nerve function. These include diabetes, stroke, and age related peripheral neuropathy. The technology is dependent on careful control of the amplitude of the intervention stimulation relative to the user's perception...

Analgesia and Opioids: A Pharmacogenetics Shortlist for Implementation in Clinical Practice.
Matic M, de Wildt SN, Tibboel D, van Schaik RHN
Background: The use of opioids to alleviate pain is complicated by the risk of severe adverse events and the large variability in dose requirements. Pharmacogenetics (PGx) could possibly be used to tailor pain medication based on an individual's genetic background. Many potential genetic markers have been described, and the importance of genetic predisposition in opioid efficacy and toxicity has been demonstrated in knockout mouse models and human twin studies. Such predictors are especiall...

Optogenetic termination of ventricular arrhythmias in the whole heart: towards biological cardiac rhythm management.
Nyns ECA, Kip A, Bart CI, Plomp JJ, Zeppenfeld K, Schalij MJ, de Vries AAF, Pijnappels DA
Aims: Current treatments of ventricular arrhythmias rely on modulation of cardiac electrical function through drugs, ablation or electroshocks, which are all non-biological and rather unspecific, irreversible or traumatizing interventions. Optogenetics, however, is a novel, biological technique allowing electrical modulation in a specific, reversible and trauma-free manner using light-gated ion channels. The aim of our study was to investigate optogenetic termination of ventricular arrhythmias i...
