![]() “Our work was sparked by a growing literature that demonstrate sex specific immune pathways differentially contribute to chronic pain processes,” said senior author Imanuel Lerman, MD, an associate professor of anesthesiology, pain management specialist at UC San Diego Health, and an affiliate of the Qualcomm Institute. LF-SCS males used more opioids post-implantation and at six months while females used more opioids post-implantation, at three, six and tended to use more opiates at the 12-month time-point.Male PPR, for example, was significantly better for HF-SCS at three and six months when compared to LF-SCS, while this was only true for females at the 6 month time point.However, there were differences in the findings between sexes: HF-SCS was also associated with less subsequent use of opioids to mitigate pain. At three and six months post-implantation, the researchers found that PPR across all patients improved compared to baseline, but HF-SCS produced greater PPR than LF-SCS. ![]() The newly published retrospective study examined 237 patients who had received SCS treatment between 20: 94 patients (40 females, 54 males) who received HF-SCS and 143 patients (70 females and 73 males) who received LF-SCS. In 2015, the FDA approved high-frequency SCS (10,000 Hz), which delivers electrical stimulation pulses that are shorter in duration, lower in amplitude and do not induce paresthesia, the abnormal sensation of tingling or prickling. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a treatment for intractable back and leg pain in 1989. Low-frequency SCS (50 Hz) was originally approved by the U.S. The underlying mechanisms of how SCS works are not fully understood, but in a new paper published in the Aponline issue of the journal Bioelectronic Medicine, a research team led by scientists at University of California San Diego School of Medicine report high-frequency SCS proved more effective at improving perceived pain reduction (PPR) than low-frequency SCS in patients studied, and that there was some variation in PPR between male and female patients. The approach is most often used after nonsurgical pain treatment options have failed to provide sufficient relief. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) for chronic pain involves delivering low levels of electricity directly into the spinal cord using an implanted device, which modifies or blocks nerve activity to minimize the sensation of pain reaching the brain. ![]() One of Core Temps most useful tools is the ability to add temperature monitors to the System Tray. Available in free ( Community Supported) and paid versions. Core Temp is a simple app, but it has additional options for more advanced uses.

![]() In the RGBA color space, the alpha channel is considered the same as a fourth channel, and the light intensity of each channel is equal to the value of each channel. This means that the alpha channel is composed of 256 levels of transparency, where 0 represents the maximum level of transparency, and 255 represents the maximum level of opacity. ![]() The alpha channel can be displayed as a grayscale image. In RGBA, the transparency information is stored in the alpha channel, and the color information is stored in the three RGB channels. An RGBA color is composed of four channels, where each channel is represented by 8 bits. The RGBA color space is a color space that includes an extra channel (alpha channel) for representing the transparency information of an image. To pick RGB/RGBA/Hex/HSL colors from an image (without uploading it to any server), check out our Image Color Picker. To pick RGB 0-1 colors, check out our RGB 0-1 Color Picker. RGB 0-1 or Float RGB is another alternative representation of RGB colors that uses three decimal numbers between 0 and 1 to represent the color: one each for red, green, and blue, and one for an optional alpha channel. To pick RGB 565 colors, check out our RGB 565 Color Picker. This color space is used in some embedded systems, such as microcontrollers. RGB 565 is an alternative representation of RGB colors that uses 16 bits to represent the color: 5 bits for red, 6 bits for green, and 5 bits for blue. ![]() The RGB color space is used to calculate the color of each pixel that can be displayed on the screen. Also, if the value of each channel is set to 0, the color of the visualized color space results in black.Įqual values of each channel are represented by the same color in the RGB color space, but the combination of different values of each channel leads to different colors. For example, if the value of each channel is set to 255, the color of the visualized color space results in white. In the RGB color space, the light intensity of each channel is equal to the value of each channel. The components of RGB are represented by the mathematical model: R = red (0 ≤ R ≤ 255) The RGB color space is a combination of the red, green, and blue light components of additive color. Each channel is represented by 8 bits, and the value of each channel is a value from 0 to 255. An RGB color space is a color space composed of three channels: red, green, blue, representing the three-dimensional information about the color. So without leaving the page you use those tools easily.A color space is a mathematical model used to represent physical colors.

Soft Limits (or Conditional Limits) are limits that we might agree to adjust, modify or re-negotiate with the right person, at the right time, in the right place or in the right circumstances.Īnal sex and photography are common soft limits. They exist for things that will change that person’s self perception negatively (such as evoking shame or disgust), cause emotional pain or bring about consequences they couldn’t live with.Ĭommon hard limits are children, animals, scat, blood and drugs, but every person has the right to set their own limits, to state and enforce them, and to have them respected. Hard Limits (or Off Limits) are those things that a person will not do under any circumstances. You don’t need to sit down and draft out some kind of written agreement on limits, but everyone has the right to refuse to consent to anything, and stating that something is a limit is basically a shorthand way of refusing that consent upfront. Limits and consent are basically the same thing. It doesn’t matter whether you’re communicating with negotiated safe words, normal conversation, body language or telepathy, if you trust that communication is effective and you are safe with your partner, then there is responsibility and consent. ![]() They always feel safe, and the reason for that is that they trust that there is communication and it is being respected. You never hear CNC people saying “I feel totally unsafe with my partner and that’s hot”. Nearly always, what they’re really saying is that they have total trust in their partner and over time they’ve built up a kind of telepathic awareness in the relationship, so verbal communication isn’t as necessary anymore. In Consensual Non-Consent (CNC) groups you’ll hear people bragging about how they have no limits and no power, because they have given it all to their Dom. A bottom can’t say “just go ahead and do whatever you want, and I’ll let you know later if you went too far, when I call the cops”, and a Top can’t say “once we start there’s nothing you can say to stop Me, and I’ll go as far as I want”. LET’S TALK ABOUT CONSENTĬonsent flows both ways and both parties have to retain both responsibility and consent. Should I put my red flag away now? You will hear “I wanna push your limits” from some Dom at some stage, so I think it’s worthwhile talking about what that really means.
