Multiple paragangliomas involving carotid body and vagal region
Formosan Journal of Surgery, 2019 Paragangliomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors also known to occur in the head-and-neck regions and generally involve the carotid body or vagal region. Till date, only a single study has reported the occurrence of paragangliomas involving both the carotid

The Carotid Body a Common Denominator for Cardiovascular and Metabolic Dysfunction?
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 The carotid body is a highly vascularized organ designed to monitor oxygen levels. Reducing oxygen levels in blood results in increased activity of the carotid body cells and reflex increases in sympathetic nerve activity.

Carotid Body Tumour: A Rare Case Report [PDF]
International Journal of Anatomy Radiology and Surgery, 2017 Carotid Body Tumour (CBT) is a uncommon tumour which arises from a chemoreceptor tissue, which is present at the bifurcation of common carotid arteries. Not many case reports have been reported for carotid body tumours. We report an unusual case of a

Reconstruction and quantification of the carotid artery bifurcation from 3D ultrasound images [PDF]
, 2004 Three-dimensional (3-D) ultrasound is a relatively new technique, which is well suited to imaging superficial blood vessels, and potentially provides a useful, noninvasive method for generating anatomically realistic 3-D models of the peripheral ...

A role for TASK-1 (KCNK3) channels in the chemosensory control of breathing [PDF]
, 2008 Acid-sensitive K+ channels of the tandem P-domain K+-channel family (TASK-1 and TASK-3) have been implicated in peripheral and central respiratory chemosensitivity; however, because of the lack of decisive pharmacological agents, the final proof of the ...

Predictive haemodynamics in a one-dimensional human carotid artery bifurcation. Part II: application to graft design [PDF]
, 2008 A Bayesian surrogate modelling technique is proposed that may be able to predict an optimal bypass graft configuration for patients suffering with stenosis in the internal carotid artery (ICA). At the outset, this statistical technique is considered as a

Coexistence of a Carotid Body Tumor and Thyroglossal Duct Carcinoma With Cervical Lymph Node Metastasis [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2014 Thyroglossal duct carcinoma is uncommon, occurring in approximately 1% of all thyroglossal duct remnants. This rare neoplasm is characterized by relatively nonaggressive behavior with infrequent lymph nodal spread.
