The Great Mountain Banquet ~ What's Cooking?

From the Touhou fangame 東方山宴会 ~ Wonderous Appetizing Bullets by Sawney Composed by me

Link to download the game: https://www.bulletforge.org/u/sawney/p/dong-fang-shan-yan-hui-wonderous-appetizing-bullets Link to Sawney's channel: https://www.youtube.com/@sawneytenmillion8339

Sawney commissioned me to make thing song! Thank you very much This is the theme for Kinnetsu, an oni from Former Hell that has caused an incident on the surface by transforming all bullets into food, what was she cooking?

It was a very fun song to compose, it's both a very playful and powerful song, i wanted to include feelings inspired by various Touhou games, but particularly from Subterranean Animism, i wanted to balance out the intensity of the song by also adding a bit of a melanholic middle moment in order to make the punchier exciting parts shine more due to the contrasts, i hope you'll enjoy it!

Pain || Unconventional Senses and Sensory Attributes

❯ ❯ Pain

Neural feedback permitting the central nervous system to detect (or avoid) potentially damaging stimuli, either passively or actively. This is nociception. A StatPearls article on PubMed notes: "Inactive nociceptors provide less-than-conscious nudges that strongly encourage the avoidance of potentially injurious and hazardous exposures." Now, if you want to get technical, then general pain and nociception are not identical; nociceptive pain is more acutely defined according to the locus of sensory activation (e.g., skin, tendons, joints, bones, muscles, internal organs). But to keep the conversation accessible, only a few additional notes remain.

Consider, for example, congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis, a rare nervous system disorder that begets a lack of sensitivity to noxious stimuli (resulting in recurring infections, cuts, bruises, and unintentional self-harm). Following such a diagnosis, "pain-sensing nerves in these patients are not properly connected in parts of brain that receive the pain messages," per the Iranian Journal of Pediatrics. With no cure for this hereditary disease, treatment regimens aim to control body temperature and prevent self-injury.

Consider also, allodynia, a different type of pain. In short, allodynia is chronic pain brought on by extreme sensitivity to touch. Actions or behaviors that are not typically considered painful can be excruciating. Pain and pain sensitivity are essential to survival, but what if one's body is unable to differentiate variations in pressure or temperature? The result is debilitating. In a medical environment, reducing such pain is extraordinarily complex (e.g., nerve-block injections, surgery, opioids, lots of therapy).

Understanding Nociceptive Pain: Unveiling the Basics Nociceptive pain is a fundamental aspect of our body's defense mechanism. To comprehend it better, let's delve into the essential aspects: What Is Nociceptive Pain? Nociceptive pain is a type of pain that stems from the activation of nociceptors—specialized nerve endings designed to detect potential harm to the body. These nociceptors send signals to the brain when they sense tissue damage, injury, or inflammation. [caption id="attachment_55855" align="aligncenter" width="425"] nociceptive pain[/caption] Causes of Nociceptive Pain Understanding the causes of nociceptive pain is crucial to managing and alleviating it effectively. Here are the primary sources: Tissue Damage Tissue damage can result from various factors, such as injuries, cuts, burns, or surgical procedures. When tissues are harmed, nociceptors initiate the pain signaling process. Inflammation Inflammatory processes, often caused by conditions like arthritis, can stimulate nociceptors, leading to pain. The body's response to inflammation is a protective mechanism, but it can also trigger discomfort. Mechanical Stress Excessive pressure or strain on tissues and joints can activate nociceptors, causing pain. This includes conditions like osteoarthritis and overuse injuries. Types of Nociceptive Pain: Diving Deeper Nociceptive pain can be categorized into two primary types, each with its distinct characteristics: Somatic Nociceptive Pain Somatic nociceptive pain arises from the stimulation of nociceptors in the skin, muscles, bones, and joints. It's typically described as a sharp, localized pain. Common examples include: Musculoskeletal Pain: This includes pain from injuries, fractures, and sprains. Cutaneous Pain: Pain resulting from skin injuries or conditions. Visceral Nociceptive Pain Visceral nociceptive pain, on the other hand, originates from the internal organs. It's often perceived as a deep, dull, and sometimes cramp-like pain. Conditions associated with visceral pain include: Abdominal Pain: Often caused by gastrointestinal issues like gastritis or appendicitis. Pelvic Pain: Common in conditions like endometriosis or bladder disorders. Recognizing the Symptoms Identifying nociceptive pain can be crucial for appropriate treatment. Here are some common symptoms to watch for: Localized Pain: Nociceptive pain is usually confined to a specific area of the body. Achy or Throbbing Sensation: Depending on the type, it can manifest as a dull ache or pulsating discomfort. Aggravation with Movement: Activities that stress the affected area tend to worsen nociceptive pain. Managing Nociceptive Pain: Strategies for Relief Managing nociceptive pain often involves a combination of medical interventions and lifestyle changes. Here are some effective strategies: Medications Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs): These can help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. Analgesics: Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen can be effective. Physical Therapy Exercise: Targeted exercises and stretches can strengthen muscles and improve joint function, reducing pain. Heat and Cold Therapy: Applying heat or cold packs can provide relief from localized pain. Lifestyle Modifications Diet: Maintaining a balanced diet can help manage conditions like arthritis. Stress Management: Reducing stress through relaxation techniques can ease pain perception. FAQ About nociceptive pain What exactly is nociceptive pain? Nociceptive pain is a type of pain caused by the activation of nociceptors, specialized nerve endings that detect potential harm to the body. What are nociceptors, and where are they located? Nociceptors are sensory receptors found throughout the body, primarily in the skin, muscles, bones, and internal organs. What conditions or injuries can trigger nociceptive pain? Nociceptive pain can be triggered by various factors, including tissue damage, inflammation, and mechanical stress, such as injuries, arthritis, or overuse. How does nociceptive pain differ from neuropathic pain? While nociceptive pain arises from actual tissue damage or inflammation, neuropathic pain results from nerve dysfunction or damage. What are the typical characteristics of somatic nociceptive pain? Somatic nociceptive pain is often described as sharp, localized, and stemming from the skin, muscles, bones, and joints. Can you provide examples of conditions associated with visceral nociceptive pain? Visceral nociceptive pain can be linked to conditions like gastritis, endometriosis, appendicitis, or bladder disorders. How is nociceptive pain diagnosed by healthcare providers? Healthcare providers diagnose nociceptive pain through a combination of medical history, physical examinations, and sometimes imaging tests. Are there any non-pharmacological approaches for managing nociceptive pain? Yes, non-pharmacological methods like physical therapy, heat or cold therapy, and stress management techniques can be effective in managing nociceptive pain. What are some common medications used to alleviate nociceptive pain? Common medications include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and over-the-counter analgesics like acetaminophen. Is nociceptive pain always acute, or can it become chronic? While nociceptive pain is typically acute and related to a specific injury or condition, it can become chronic if the underlying issue persists, leading to long-term pain. Conclusion: Nociceptive pain is a vital aspect of our body's alarm system, signaling potential harm or injury. Understanding its types, symptoms, and management strategies empowers individuals to take control of their pain and work towards a more comfortable and pain-free life.

out of all the minor enemies in nociception, which where your favorites to make?

Personally I really liked drawing these enemies, I was very pleased with how they turned out in-game!! They're albino eyeballs, a rare type that only appears at night. They're unpopular as pets because they're a little too smart and give off a judgemental air

There's Growing Evidence That Insects Feel Pain, Just Like Us

There’s Growing Evidence That Insects Feel Pain, Just Like Us

We have long seen insects as instinctive, mindless creatures with robotic-like reactions to the world and all its impulses. But the closer we look, the more we find surprisingly complex behaviors, from bees communicating through dance to incredible feats of ant cooperation and now we have mounting evidence that these little creatures that run our world may also experience pain.   Nociception –…

Alright. Hit my wall. Gonna go snooze.

I think tomorrow i need to follow-up a couple phone calls and go do my laundry. (And my workout.)

Will see about writing happening in the in-between.

#i mighta underslept a bit today - so nociception is a bit bumped up

I did next to nothing with my brain for the last 6 months and now I have to write half a page about the role of dopamine in fibromyalgia for a job application and I feel like I had a concussion or something
