Reducing VNS stimulation parameters: Is it safe?

Arq. bras. neurocir; 41 (1), 2022
Introduction Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) is an adjuvant therapy used in the treatment of patients with refractory epilepsy who are not candidates for resective surgery or who have limited results after surgical procedures. Currently, there is enough evidence to support its use in patients with various ...

Nervios olfatorio, trigémino, facial, glosofaríngeo y vago: vínculos con sars-cov-2 y prospectivas neurosemiológicas

Se presenta una breve revisión los nervios olfatorio, trigémino, facial, glosofaríngeo y vago, el primero funcionalmente relacionado con la inervación quimiosensitiva olfativa en la mucosa nasal, los siguientes para el registro de dolor endocraneal y para la mucosa orofarín...

Anatomical study of jugular foramen in the neck

Abstract Introduction The anatomical complexity of the jugular foramen makes surgical procedures in this region delicate and difficult. Due to the advances in surgical techniques, approaches to the jugular foramen became more frequent, requiring improvement of the knowledge of this region anatomy. Obje...

New determinants for casual peripheral mechanism of neurogenic lung edema in subarachnoid hemorrhage due to ischemic degeneration of vagal nerve, kidney and lung circuitry. Experimental study

Acta cir. bras; 34 (3), 2019
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate whether there is a relationship between renal artery vasospasm related low glomerular density or degeneration and neurogenic lung edema (NLE) following subarachnoid hemorrhage. Methods: This study was conducted on 26 rabbits. A control group was formed of five animals, a ...

Hypercapnia attenuates ventilator-induced lung injury through vagus nerve activation

Acta cir. bras; 34 (9), 2019
Abstract Purpose: To investigate the role of vagus nerve activation in the protective effects of hypercapnia in ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) rats. Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized to either high-tidal volume or low-tidal volume ventilation (control) and monitored for 4h. The h...

Apparent origin of glossopharyngeal, vagus and accessory nerves: an aspect to consider in human neuroanatomy teaching

Int. j. morphol; 36 (4), 2018
In various neuroanatomy texts and articles related to this area of knowledge, there is a conceptual vacuum associated with the precise sites where the roots of the cranial nerves emerge. The objective of the study was to establish the exact location of the apparent origin of the glossopharyngeal, vagus a...

Preservation of the vagus nerves in subtotal esophagectomy without thoracotomy

Acta cir. bras; 33 (9), 2018
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the outcome of transhiatal esophagectomy without thoracotomy and with preservation of the vagal trunks for the treatment of advanced megaesophagus. Methods: Between March 2006 and September 2017, it was performed 136 transhiatal esophagectomies without thoracotomy by lap...

ACE gene dosage determines additional autonomic dysfunction and increases renal angiotensin II levels in diabetic mice

Clinics; 73 (), 2018
OBJECTIVES: The present study aimed to investigate cardiovascular autonomic modulation and angiotensin II (Ang II) activity in diabetic mice that were genetically engineered to harbor two or three copies of the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene. METHODS: Diabetic and non-diabetic mice harboring 2 or 3 ...

Resting spontaneous baroreflex sensitivity and cardiac autonomic control in anabolic androgenic steroid users

Clinics; 73 (), 2018
OBJECTIVES: Misuse of anabolic androgenic steroids in athletes is a strategy used to enhance strength and skeletal muscle hypertrophy. However, its abuse leads to an imbalance in muscle sympathetic nerve activity, increased vascular resistance, and increased blood pressure. However, the mechanisms underl...
