Carotid body tumor imaging: MRI, ultrasound, and elastography with surgical management
Radiology Case ReportsA carotid body tumor is an uncommon tumor that develops from the carotid body. Carotid body tumor, also called paraganglioma, is often benign in nature and mostly found in the neck.

Signalling mechanisms of long term facilitation of breathing with intermittent hypoxia. [PDF]
, 2013 Intermittent hypoxia causes long-term facilitation (LTF) of respiratory motor nerve activity and ventilation, which manifests as a persistent increase over the normoxic baseline for an hour or more after the acute hypoxic ventilatory response.
