On the Prospects for African Philosophy in Australia

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper grapples with the situation of people of African descent in Australia by working through the constitution of the body of academic philosophy in the country. It contends with the parochialism of the Australian philosophical community and the prospects for the cultivation of greater pluralism. Taking African philosophy as one possible

Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas: from DNA to the daily clinical practice [PDF]

, 2010
The neuroendocrine system is a diffuse system in which the nervous system and the hormones of the endocrine glands interact. The neuroendocrine organs of the sympathetic and parasympathetic autonomic nervous system are called paraganglia.

Strategies for optimization of hypoglycemia rat models

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This review focuses on rat models for studying the short‐term and long‐term effects of mild and severe hypoglycemia. We explored the physiological mechanisms to understand the consequences of hypoglycemia in rat experimental models. This study sheds light on uncovering the therapeutic potential for hypoglycemic patients and its efficacy in mitigating ...

The Sympathetic Nervous System Mitigates CNS Autoimmunity via β2-Adrenergic Receptor Signaling in Immune Cells

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: Noradrenaline (NE), the main neurotransmitter released by sympathetic nerve terminals, is known to modulate the immune response. However, the role of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) on the development of autoimmune diseases is still unclear.

The role of inhibitory G proteins and regulators of G protein signaling in the in vivo control of heart rate and predisposition to cardiac arrhythmias [PDF]

, 2012
Inhibitory heterotrimeric G proteins and the control of heart rate. The activation of cell signaling pathways involving inhibitory heterotrimeric G proteins acts to slow the heart rate via modulation of ion channels.

Heart Rate Profiles During Exercise and Incident Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective To determine whether established heart rate parameters of exercise, related to cardiac autonomic function, are associated with incident Parkinson's disease, independent of both clinical and autonomic prodromal features. Methods A study of UK Biobank participants who performed a standardized bicycle exercise test (2009–2013), followed until ...

Role of the Autonomic Nervous System in Atrial Fibrillation: Pathophysiology and Therapy [PDF]

, 2014
Autonomic nervous system activation can induce significant and heterogeneous changes of atrial electrophysiology and induce atrial tachyarrhythmias, including atrial tachycardia (AT) and atrial fibrillation (AF).

Design and Application of Piezoelectric Conductive Smart Scaffold for Noninvasive Neural Tissue Regeneration via Custom‐Made In Vitro Mechano‐Stimulator

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration showing the design of the developed invitro mechano stimulator (IMS) and the electrospun nanofiber‐based piezoelectric and conductive nerve conduit (PCNC) that can self‐generate electrical stimulations analogous to neural tissues. IMS provided vital electrical cues for the neural cells to attach, align and proliferate on the PCNC

Noradrenergic and cholinergic innervation of the normal human heart and changes associated with cardiomyopathy

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Autonomic nerves are crucial in cardiac function and pathology. However, data on the distribution of cholinergic and noradrenergic nerves in normal and pathologic human hearts is lacking. Nonfailing donor hearts were pressure‐perfusion fixed, imaged, and dissected. Left ventricular cardiomyopathy samples were also obtained.
