Fibromyalgia and other chronic musculoskeletal pain syndromes are associated with stressful early life events, which can produce a persistent dysregulation in the hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal (HPA) stress axis function, associated with elevated plasm levels of corticosterone in adults. To determine the contribution of the HPA axis to persistent muscle hyperalgesia in adult rats that had experienced neonatal limited bedding (NLB), a form of early-life stress, we evaluated the role of glucocorticoid receptors on muscle nociceptors in adult NLB rats. In adult male and female NLB rats, mechanical nociceptive threshold in skeletal muscle was significantly lower than in adult control (neonatal standard bedding) rats. Furthermore, adult males and females that received exogenous corticosterone (via dams’ milk) during postnatal days 2–9, displayed a similar lowered mechanical nociceptive threshold. To test the hypothesis that persistent glucocorticoid receptor signaling in the adult contributes to muscle hyperalgesia in NLB rats, nociceptor expression of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) was attenuated by spinal intrathecal administration of an oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) antisense to GR mRNA. In adult NLB rats, GR antisense markedly attenuated muscle hyperalgesia in males, but not in females. These findings indicate that increased corticosterone levels during a critical developmental period (postnatal days 2–9) produced by NLB stress induces chronic mechanical hyperalgesia in male and female rats that persists in adulthood, and that this chronic muscle hyperalgesia is mediated, at least in part, by persistent stimulation of glucocorticoid receptors on sensory neurons, in the adult male, but not female rat.

External ear consists of auricle or pinna and external acoustic meatus. The auricle projects to a variable and individual degree from the side of the head. According to many studies conducted on morphometry of external ear; the size, shape and the orientation of each external ear is unique as ngerprint but it can be generalized. Males have larger ears as compared to females. The present study is attempted provide anthropometric data on normal adult male and female auricles from population of Uttar Pradesh. To st AIM: udy the anthropometric measurements of auricle in population of Uttar Pradesh. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was conducted on 420 adults (210 males and 210 females) who were randomly selected from the population of Uttar Pradesh. The parameters measured were, ear length, ear breadth lobule length and lobule width of both ears. RESULTS: In our study, we found that both the ears are equal dimension except for lobule breadth, irrespective of the sex. CONCLUSION: Knowledge of normal ear dimensions is important in the diagnosis of congenital malformations and acquired deformities, and in planning of treatment. The data presented in this study would help the clinician to produce an anatomically correct ear during its reconstruction.
