Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Prevents the Downregulation of the Cholinergic Phenotype in Axotomized Motoneurons of the Adult Rat [PDF]
, 2018 Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was initially characterized by its activity on the vascular system. However, there is growing evidence indicating that VEGF also acts as a neuroprotective factor, and that its administration to neurons suffering ...

The raphe nuclear organization and serotonergic system in the bat (Artibeus planirostris)
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Schematic representation of the methodological workflow used to characterize the serotonergic (5‐HT) system in the bat Artibeus planirostris. Serotonin (5‐HT) immunohistochemistry was performed on brainstem sections to identify and map the distribution of serotonergic neurons within the raphe nuclei.

Characterisation of sleep apneas and respiratory circuitry in mice lacking CDKL5
Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.Summary CDKL5 deficiency disorder is a rare genetic disease caused by mutations in the CDKL5 gene. Central apneas during wakefulness have been reported in patients with CDKL5 deficiency disorder. Studies on CDKL5‐knockout mice, a CDKL5 deficiency disorder model, reported sleep apneas, but it is still unclear whether these events are central (central ...

The Role of the Hyoid Bone in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Severity: A Systematic Review
Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has numerous complications that negatively impact patients' quality of life. Early diagnosis can significantly reduce these complications. The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between the hyoid bone position and the severity of apnea, and to determine if hyoid‐related cephalometric variables can ...

The Pharyngeal Resistance Index—A Promising Diagnostic Tool in OSA
Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates the newly developed pharyngeal resistance index derived from computational fluid dynamics analysis of the upper airway in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. The aim was to evaluate this index as a diagnostic and severity assessment tool by comparing it with the apnea‐hypopnea index before and after maxillomandibular
