Rare Condition of Intrathoracic Phrenic Nerve Schwannoma Successfully Treated with Uniportal Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery

Case Reports in Surgery, 2021
Introduction. Neurogenic tumors in the mediastinum account for approximately 20-30% of all types of mediastinal tumors in adults. This pathology is usually benign and has no or very few symptoms. Schwannoma rarely involves the phrenic nerve.

Peripheral hyperstimulation alters site of disease onset and course in SOD1 rats

Neurobiology of Disease, 2010
In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the exogenous temporal triggers that result in initial motor neuron death are not understood. Overactivation and consequent accelerated loss of vulnerable motor neurons is one theory of disease initiation.

The importance of phrenic nerve preservation and its effect on long-term postoperative lung function after pneumonectomy [PDF]

, 2015
OBJECTIVES The importance of phrenic nerve preservation during pneumonectomy remains controversial. We previously demonstrated that preservation of the phrenic nerve in the immediate postoperative period preserved lung function by 3-5% but little is ...

Characterization of AF Recurrence and Substrate Health by Electrographic Flow (EGF) Consistency in EGF Mapping

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Electrographic flow (EGF) mapping is an FDA 510(k)‐cleared method for visualizing atrial activation wavefronts in atrial fibrillation (AF). Its clinical efficacy in detecting AF sources was demonstrated in the FLOW‐AF randomized controlled trial, and the underlying machine learning strategy used to develop and refine EGF source ...
