Electrical Stimulation of Trigeminal Nerve at the Anterior Nasal Septum in Healthy Individuals and Patients With Olfactory Dysfunction

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The intranasal trigeminal system contributes to the sense of smell. Its integrity in olfactory dysfunction (OD) may be crucial for future treatments. This study assessed trigeminal sensitivity in healthy individuals and patients with OD of different etiologies using electrical stimulation of the nasal mucosa.

Zebrafish heart as a model to study the integrative autonomic control of pacemaker function.

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physiology. Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 2016
The cardiac pacemaker sets the heart's primary rate, with pacemaker discharge controlled by the autonomic nervous system through intracardiac ganglia. A fundamental issue in understanding the relationship between neural activity and cardiac chronotropy ...

HCN2‐Associated Neurodevelopmental Disorders: Data from Patients and Xenopus Cell Models

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective We aimed to characterize the phenotypic spectrum and functional consequences associated with variants in HCN2, encoding for the hyperpolarization‐activated cyclic nucleotide (HCN) gated channel 2. Methods GeneMatcher facilitated the recruitment of 21 individuals with HCN2 variants from 15 unrelated families, carrying HCN2 variants.

Unusual Case of Colonized Pacemaker Lead Presenting with Endocarditis, Hemoptysis and Tricuspid Valve Stenosis

open access: yesCanadian Respiratory Journal, 2011
The present report is the first to describe a case of hemoptysis caused by an endocardial pacemaker lead. In addition, the patient presented with endocarditis and tricuspid valve stenosis.

Deterioration of autonomic neuronal receptor signaling and mechanisms intrinsic to heart pacemaker cells contribute to age‐associated alterations in heart rate variability in vivo

open access: yesAging Cell, 2016
We aimed to determine how age‐associated changes in mechanisms extrinsic and intrinsic to pacemaker cells relate to basal beating interval variability (BIV) reduction in vivo.

Temporary Endocavitary Pacemakers and their Use and Misuse: The Least is Better

open access: yesClinical Medicine Insights: Cardiology, 2014
Temporary pacemakers are classically indicated for severe bradydysrhythmia, especially when the clinical settings require prompt intervention. Implantation of a temporary pacemaker is not a benign procedure since it may be associated with serious adverse

Review of the anatomical basis for predicting plutonium alpha particle radiation induced osteogenic cancers

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Plutonium was discovered and first synthesized in the early 1940's. Several isotopes of plutonium are used in nuclear technologies, 238Pu for heat generation and 239Pu for energy production and weapons. Both isotopes emit alpha particles, which pose a significant radiation hazard when incorporated into the body.

Concealed malfunction of the temporary pacemaker

open access: yesIndian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2006
The 12-lead ECG shows sequential atrial and ventricular pacing (Figure 1A). A tracing, obtained simultaneously during pacemaker interrogation, disclosed pacemaker functioning as VDD mode (Figure 1B).
