A Potential and Novel Therapy for Obesity: “Appendix” Electrical Stimulation in Dogs
Obesity Surgery, 2010Intestinal electrical stimulation (IES) has been introduced as a potential therapy for obesity. However, it is unknown whether the effects of IES on gastrointestinal motility and food intake are location-specific. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of "appendix" (cecum in dog) electrical stimulation (AES) on gastric tone, gastric emptying,

Shocking therapy: Brief electrical stimulation for delayed nerve repair
Experimental Neurology, 2015This commentary provides perspective on a recent paper published in Experimental Neurology by Elzinga et al. where the authors investigated the effect of brief electrical stimulation (ES) on nerve regeneration after delayed nerve repair in a rodent model. Their results from a well controlled series of experiments indicated that brief ES promoted axonal
