Image findings of cranial nerve pathology on [18F]-2- deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography with computerized tomography (PET/CT): a pictorial essay. [PDF]
This article aims to increase awareness about the utility of (18)F -FDG-PET/CT in the evaluation of cranial nerve (CN) pathology. We discuss the clinical implication of detecting perineural tumor spread, emphasize the primary and secondary (18)F -FDG-PET/

OLFACTORY BULB POTENTIALS TO ELECTRICAL STIMULATION OF THE OLFACTORY MUCOSA
The properties of the olfactory bulb potential evoked by electrical stimulation of the olfactory mucosa were studied in rabbits immobilized with d-tubocurarine. The evoked potential was a slow negative wave when recorded from the surface of the bulb.

Unraveling the Role of Ensheathing Cells and Perineural Fibroblasts in Olfactory Neurogenesis
OECs are similar to satellite glial cells. OECs react to neuronal injury by promoting lipid metabolism, but do not proliferate. OECs reduce gap junctions upon neuronal injury. Perineural fibroblasts also contribute to the injury response. ABSTRACT During development and following injury‐induced neurogenesis, olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) envelope ...

Effect of copper nanoparticles and copper ions on the architecture of rainbow trout olfactory mucosa
Olfactory epithelial cells are in direct contact with myriad environmental contaminants which may consequently disrupt their structure and function. Copper ions (Cu2+) and copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) are two types of olfactory neurotoxicants.

Canine olfactory ensheathing cells from the olfactory mucosa can be engineered to produce active chondroitinase ABC [PDF]
A multitude of factors must be overcome following spinal cord injury (SCI) in order to achieve clinical improvement in patients. It is thought that by combining promising therapies these diverse factors could be combatted with the aim of producing an ...

Health‐Related Quality of Life in Patients With a Head and Neck Sarcoma: A Mixed‐Methods Study
ABSTRACT Background Patients with head and neck sarcomas (HNS) face unique health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) challenges due to its disease rarity. This study examined and identified the prevalence of generic‐ and location‐specific HRQoL issues.

Glucose transporters in the blood-brain barrier [PDF]
The central nervous system and peripheral nerves are guarded against free access from the outside by the blood-brain, blood-cerebrospinal fluid and blood-nerve barriers. The glucose transporter GLUT1 mediates the specific transfer of glucose across these

Drug delivery in overcoming the blood-brain barrier: role of nasal mucosal grafting [PDF]
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) plays a fundamental role in protecting and maintaining the homeostasis of the brain. For this reason, drug delivery to the brain is much more difficult than that to other compartments of the body. In order to bypass or cross

Towards a truly biomimetic olfactory microsystem: an artificial olfactory mucosa
Today, the capability of the human olfactory system is still, in many ways, superior to that of the electronic nose. Although electronic noses are often compared with their biological counterpart, they neither mimic its neural architecture nor achieve its discriminating performance.
