Epiphora: A Structured Diagnostic Approach for the Otolaryngologist
World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Epiphora, or excessive tearing, has historically been predominantly managed by ophthalmologists. However, as there is substantial overlap between ophthalmic and otolaryngologic anatomy and pathology that may contribute to epiphora, patients with this symptom often present to otolaryngologists as well.

Cholinergic inputs to motoneurons in the spinal cord augment focal muscle spasticity in rodents
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Background and Purpose Cholinergic premotor inputs to motoneurons support high levels of motor output when required. However, the possible role of these inputs in pathologically elevated muscle tone has not been characterised. To address this, we examined the modulatory effect of spinal acetylcholine (ACh) on experimental spastic paralysis ...
