Endotypic Mechanisms of Successful Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation for Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
RATIONALE Approximately a third of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treated with hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) therapy are incomplete responders, despite careful patient selection based on baseline characteristics and drug-induced sleep

Exogenous nerve growth factor protects the hypoglossal nerve against crush injury
Studies have shown that sensory nerve damage can activate the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, but whether the same type of nerve injury after exercise activates the p38MAPK pathway remains unclear.

Hypoglossal Nerve Palsy Due to a Sublingual Space Abscess
We report an unusual case of a hypoglossal nerve palsy secondary to a sublingual space abscess in a previously fit and healthy 59-year-old man. The patient presented with fever, dysphagia, trismus, and a left-sided tongue and floor-of-mouth swelling with

Imaging the hypoglossal nerve [PDF]
The hypoglossal nerve is a pure motor nerve. It provides motor control to the intrinsic and extrinsic tongue muscles thus being essential for normal tongue movement and coordination. In order to design a useful imaging approach and a working differential diagnosis in cases of hypoglossal nerve damage one has to have a good knowledge of the normal ...

Signalling mechanisms of long term facilitation of breathing with intermittent hypoxia. [PDF]
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.

Localization of brain stem motoneurons innervating the laryngeal muscles in the rufous horseshoe bat,rhinolophus rouxi [PDF]
The motoneurons innervating the laryngeal muscles were localized in the rufous horseshoe bat,Rhinolophus rouxi, using the HRP method. HRP was applied to the cricothyroid muscle and to the cut end of the recurrent laryngeal nerve. Labeled motoneurons were
