Selective efferent vagal stimulation in heart failure

open access: yesExperimental Physiology
Patients diagnosed with heart failure have high rates of mortality and morbidity. Based on promising preclinical studies, vagal nerve stimulation has been trialled in these patients using whole nerve electrical stimulation, but the results have been ...

Schwannoma of the vagal nerve – case report [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Schwann cell tumour is a rare benign neoplasms, which in approximately 25–45% of cases localises in the head and neck region. The half of them is found intracranially, within the cochleovestibular nerve (n. VIII) leading to deef.

The burden of the postictal state in epilepsy: A prospective, single‐center observational cohort study

open access: yesEpileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The postictal state is a major yet underrecognized component of the epilepsy burden. We aimed to develop a structured patient‐reported instrument to quantify postictal recovery, characterize its multidimensional burden, and identify demographic, clinical, psychiatric, and treatment‐related factors associated with postictal severity ...

Atrial ectopic pacemaker escape mediated by phasic vagal nerve activity

open access: yes, 1991
Effects of vagal nerve activity on atrial ectopic pacemaker foci were studied in vitro in strips of rabbit tricuspid valve. Transmembrane potentials were recorded from pacemaker and working atrial fibers superfused with Tyrode solution containing ...

Genetic testing among patients evaluated for epilepsy surgery

open access: yesEpileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Genetic testing performed to identify the underlying etiology of epilepsy has become increasingly common and is now being recommended as part of the presurgical evaluation for epilepsy surgery. This study aimed to characterize the types of genetic tests performed in patients evaluated for epilepsy surgery and assess how genetic ...

Electroclinical phenotypes—genetic characterization of developmental and epileptic encephalopathies in a cohort study

open access: yesEpileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are characterized by refractory seizures and frequently recurring epileptic activity with neurodevelopmental delay or regression that usually begin in early life. We aimed to define the relationship between electroclinical features and etiology, as well as the genotype–phenotype ...

KBG syndrome: A scoping review of electroclinical features of patients with epilepsy

open access: yesEpileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives KBG syndrome is a rare autosomal developmental disorder caused by pathogenic variants of the ANKRD11 gene. This scoping review aimed to explore all current literature data regarding clinical and electroencephalographic features of patients with KBG syndrome and epilepsy. Materials and Methods We conducted a literature
