Hypoglossal and phrenic nerve responses to carotid baroreceptor stimulation

, 1993
We examined the relationship between hypoglossal and phrenic nerve activities and carotid sinus pressure. In 12 adult cats that were decerebrate, vagotomized, paralyzed, and mechanically ventilated, we isolated the left carotid sinus for perfusion and ...

Quality and Readability of Websites on Tongue Base Procedures for Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Tongue base obstruction is a cause of persistent sleep apnea after adenotonsillectomy in pediatric patients. The internet is the most used tool by patients for gathering healthcare information. This study aims to assess the quality and readability of websites directed to patients regarding tongue base procedures for pediatric ...

Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Refractory Epilepsy: Effects on Pro- and Anti-Inflammatory Cytokines in Peripheral Blood [PDF]

, 2010
Objective: The vagus nerve has important immunological functions that may be relevant for its anticonvulsive action. We postulate that this anticonvulsive action is activated by a shift in the immune system resulting in a reduction of neurotoxic and an ...

Treatment of Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea With a Domestic Implantable Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulator: A Case Report

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Implantable hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) is an established neuromodulatory therapy for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients intolerant to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). However, no domestically developed HNS system has been clinically implemented in China to date.

CHARGE Syndrome: A Narrative Review and Update on Diagnosis, Assessment and Management

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background CHARGE syndrome (CS) is a rare multisystemic genetic condition caused by a pathogenic variant in the DNA‐binding protein‐7 CHD7 gene. The condition affects the development of neural crest cells, which give rise to craniofacial structures, cranial nerves, ears, eyes and the heart, resulting in diverse and complex clinical features ...

The contracture of Tongue Muscle by the Stimulation of Lingual Nerve after the Degeneration of Hypoglossal Nerves. [PDF]

, 1933
<P>1. Stimulation of the peripheral stump of the lingual nerve after the degeneration of hypoglossal nerve causes the contracture of tongue. 2. This phenomenon is retained after the removal of the superior cervical ganglion, after the degeneration ...

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 ...
