Journal ArticleDOI
Differentiated Rat Glial Cell Strain in Tissue Culture
TL;DR: Rat glial tumors, induced by injections of N-nitrosomethylurea, were plated and propagated in culture, and among a few cell strains obtained, one clone contains S-100 protein, which is unique to brain in vertebrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporary Abolition of Pain in Man
Patrick D. Wall,William H. Sweet +1 more
TL;DR: In eight patients with intense chronic cutaneous pain, sensory nerves or roots, square-wave 0.1-millisecond pulses at 100 cycles per second were applied and the voltage was raised until the patient reported tingling in the area, and pressure on previously sensitive areas failed to evoke pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controlled thermocoagulation of trigeminal ganglion and rootlets for differential destruction of pain fibers. 1. Trigeminal neuralgia.
William H. Sweet,James G. Wepsic +1 more
TL;DR: The results of retrogasserian differential lidocaine block are described to aid in the selection of patients for a differential thermal lesion in the trigeminal ganglion and rootlets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphological and immunochemical studies of rat glial tumors and clonal strains propagated in culture.
TL;DR: Rat glial tumors, induced by weekly injections of N-nitrosomethylurea for 8 months, were plated and propagated in culture, and two stable lines were carried for many generations: a slow-growing astrocytoma and a faster growing glioblastoma.
