Partitioned Shape Modeling with On-the-Fly Sparse Appearance Learning for Anterior Visual Pathway Segmentation [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
MRI quantification of cranial nerves such as anterior visual pathway (AVP) in MRI is challenging due to their thin small size, structural variation along its path, and adjacent anatomic structures. Segmentation of pathologically abnormal optic nerve (e.g.

Expert Strategies: Skull Base Reconstruction—Global Perspectives, Insights, and Algorithms through a Mixed Methods Approach

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective There is limited consensus on endoscopic skull base surgery (ESBS) reconstruction principles. This study aims to generate comprehensive themes regarding ESBS reconstruction by pooling the experiences of ESBS experts, with comparison to a literature review of current published evidence.

A Comprehensive Review on Oculomotor Nerve Palsy: Diagnosis and Management Strategies

Journal of Modern Rehabilitation
The third cranial nerve (oculomotor nerve) plays an essential role in the function of ocular movement and mainly innervates the inferior oblique, medial rectus, inferior rectus, superior rectus, levator palpebrae, pupillary sphincter, and ciliary muscle.

Varicella-zoster virus infections – antiviral therapy and diagnosis

GMS Infectious Diseases, 2016
Varicella-zoster virus is an important human pathogen that causes varicella after primary infection and zoster after recurrence. Following primary infection, the virus remains latently for life in dorsal root and cranial nerve ganglia.

Photo-Thermal Neural Excitation by Extrinsic and Intrinsic Absorbers: A Temperature-Rate Model [PDF]

arXiv, 2012
Infrared neural stimulation (INS) pulses at water-absorbed mid-IR wavelengths could provide a non-invasive and safe modality for stimulating peripheral and cranial nerves and central nervous system neurons. The excitation mechanism underlying INS activation is thought to be mediated by photo-thermal tissue transients, which can also potentially be ...

Magnetic Nanoparticles for Neural Engineering [PDF]

Thanh, Nguyen TK (ed.). Clinical applications of magnetic nanoparticles: From Fabrication to Clinical Applications. CRC press, 2018
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are the foundation of several new strategies for neural repair and neurological therapies. The fact that a remote force can act on MNPs at the cytoplasmic space constitutes the essence of many new neurotherapeutic concepts. MNPs with a predesigned physicochemical characteristic can interact with external magnetic fields to

Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),
