Synchronous Ganglioneuroma and Schwannoma Mistaken for Carotid Body Tumor

Case Reports in Otolaryngology, 2017
Ganglioneuromas are a very rare benign neural tumor, commonly derived from the ganglia of the sympathetic system, and are composed of mature Schwann cells, ganglion cells, and nerve fibres. They may arise anywhere from the base of the skull to the pelvis

Mini social cognition and emotional assessment: Diagnostic performance and neural correlates in behavioural‐variant frontotemporal dementia

Journal of Neuropsychology, EarlyView.
Abstract We aimed at validating the Mini Social Cognition and Emotional Assessment (Mini‐SEA) in a German cohort of mildly impaired behavioural‐variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) patients and healthy controls. The Mini‐SEA comprises the Facial Emotion Recognition Test (FERT) and the Faux Pas Test (FPT) measuring Theory of Mind (ToM) abilities in ...

GDF15 regulates development and growth of sympathetic neurons to enhance energy expenditure and thermogenesis

Experimental and Molecular Medicine
Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) induces weight loss and increases sympathetic activity through its receptor GFRAL. Given that RET, a GFRAL coreceptor, influences neuronal growth, we studied whether GDF15 can induce the development or growth of ...

Neurotrophic Factors NGF, GDNF and NTN Selectively Modulate HSV1 and HSV2 Lytic Infection and Reactivation in Primary Adult Sensory and Autonomic Neurons

Pathogens, 2017
Herpes simplex viruses (HSV1 and HSV2) establish latency in peripheral ganglia after ocular or genital infection, and can reactivate to produce different patterns and frequencies of recurrent disease. Previous studies showed that nerve growth factor (NGF)

Comparative endocranial anatomy in the crocodylians Leidyosuchus canadensis and Stangerochampsa mccabei from the upper Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Leidyosuchus canadensis and Stangerochampsa mccabei share endocranial features such as posterior projection of a neurovascular canal in the maxilla and a paratympanic sinus system most similar to those of small‐bodied and young extant crocodylians, suggesting that these pedomorphic features may reflect the ancestral crocodylian condition.

Uncovering the impact of the cardiovascular system on cerebrovascular health using MRI

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Human cerebrovasculature is finely tuned to enable local changes in blood flow to meet the brain's demands, whilst protecting the brain from systemic changes in blood pressure, both acutely during a heartbeat and chronically over time. This review summarises cerebrovascular structure and function, their role in disease and neurodegeneration ...

Carotid artery dissection linked to intermittent apnoeic swimming: A case–control study

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection is a rare and potentially devastating cause of cerebral ischaemia, initiated by an intimal tear or rupture of the vasa vasorum, that can lead to an intraluminal thrombus, vascular stenosis, occlusion, or dissecting aneurysm formation.

Influence of facial cooling on carotid body tonic activity and sensitivity

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Facial cooling can increase ventilation and augment the hypoxic ventilatory response. Whole body cooling increases both carotid body tonic activity and sensitivity; however, whether isolated facial cooling induces similar carotid body hyperexcitability was unknown.

Cardiac remodelling in type 2 diabetes: Pathophysiological mechanisms and opportunities for multiscale computational modelling and simulation

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Overview of multiscale cardiac remodelling in type 2 diabetes and how to model and simulate these changes using a human‐based, multiscale computational framework. Cardiac remodelling in type 2 diabetes occurs at ionic channel, protein, cellular, tissue and whole‐organ level, affecting the electrophysiological function, mechanical
