Carotid Body Chemoreceptors: Physiology, Pathology, and Implications for Health and Disease.
Physiological Reviews, 2021 The carotid body (CB) is the main peripheral chemoreceptor for arterial respiratory gases O2 and CO2, and pH, eliciting reflex ventilatory, cardiovascular and humoral responses to maintain homeostasis.

Brain, behavior, and immunity, 2021 Recent evidence has suggested that the carotid bodies might act as immunological sensors, detecting pro-inflammatory mediators and signalling to the central nervous system, which, in turn, orchestrates autonomic responses.

Physiology of the Carotid Body: From Molecules to Disease.
Annual Review of Physiology, 2020 The carotid body (CB) is an arterial chemoreceptor organ located in the carotid bifurcation and has a well-recognized role in cardiorespiratory regulation.

The potential role of the carotid body in COVID-19
American Journal of Physiology - Lung cellular and Molecular Physiology, 2020 The carotid body (CB) plays a contributory role in the pathogenesis of various respiratory, cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic diseases through reflex changes in ventilation and sympathetic output.

The Logic of Carotid Body Connectivity to the Brain.
Physiology, 2019 The carotid body has emerged as a therapeutic target for cardio-respiratory-metabolic diseases. With the expansive functions of the chemoreflex, we sought mechanisms to explain differential control of individual responses.

Computational hemodynamics in arteries with the one-dimensional augmented fluid-structure interaction system: viscoelastic parameters estimation and comparison with in-vivo data [PDF]
J. Biomech. 100 (2020) 109595, 2019 Mathematical models are widely recognized as a valuable tool for cardiovascular diagnosis and the study of circulatory diseases, especially to obtain data that require otherwise invasive measurements. To correctly simulate body hemodynamics, the viscoelastic properties of vessel walls are a key aspect to be taken into account as they play an essential ...

Carotid body tumor: a case report and literature review.
Journal of Radiology Case Reports, 2019 The carotid body is the largest collection of paraganglia in the head and neck and is found on the medial aspect of the carotid bifurcation bilaterally. Carotid body tumors are rare neoplasms arising from the chemoreceptor cells of the carotid bulb.

Area-preserving mapping of 3D ultrasound carotid artery images using density-equalizing reference map [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 67(9), 1507-1517
(2020), 2018 Carotid atherosclerosis is a focal disease at the bifurcations of the carotid artery. To quantitatively monitor the local changes in the vessel-wall-plus-plaque thickness (VWT) and compare the VWT distributions for different patients or for the same patients at different ultrasound scanning sessions, a mapping technique is required to adjust for the ...
