A Thoracic Mechanism of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Due to Blast Pressure Waves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The mechanisms by which blast pressure waves cause mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (mTBI) are an open question. Possibilities include acceleration of the head, direct passage of the blast wave via the cranium, and propagation of the blast wave to

Vagus nerve controls resolution and pro-resolving mediators of inflammation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Resolution of inflammation is now recognized as a biosynthetically active process involving pro-resolving mediators. Here, we show in zymosan-initiated peritoneal inflammation that the vagus nerve regulates local expression of netrin-1, an axonal ...

Exploring the respiratory efficacy of combined chronic glucocorticoid and antioxidant interventions in the mdx mouse: The PREDNAC trial

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is characterized by respiratory muscle injury and weakness, ultimately leading to respiratory failure. Impaired respiratory muscle performance, fibrosis and inflammation in early disease are evident in the dystrophin‐deficient mdx mouse model of DMD.

Hypothalamic Neurochemical Changes in Long-Term Recovered Bilateral Subdiaphragmatic Vagotomized Rats

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2022
BackgroundVagus nerve is one of the crucial routes in communication between the immune and central nervous systems. The impaired vagal nerve function may intensify peripheral inflammatory processes.

Extrinsic intestinal denervation modulates tumor development in the small intestine of ApcMin/+ mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background Innervation interacts with enteric immune responses. Chronic intestinal inflammation is associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer. We aimed to study potential extrinsic neuronal modulation of intestinal tumor development in a mouse ...

Sex‐specific differences in mortality and neurocardiac interactions in the Kv1.1 knockout mouse model of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP)

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The Kcna1 knockout mouse model of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) exhibits sex‐specific differences in SUDEP risk. Female mice exhibit a lower SUDEP risk than males, despite similar seizure characteristics and interictal cardiac function across sexes.

Gastric tube ulcer perforating the pericardium after subtotal esophagectomy [Perforacija ulkusa želučanog supstituta u perikard nakon subtotalne ezofagektomije] [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Subtotal esophagectomy with retrosternal transposition of the gastric tube to the neck was performed in a 62-year-old patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the proximal third of the esophagus.

Obligatory and accessory respiratory muscle structure, function and control in early and advanced disease in the mdx mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We examined obligatory (diaphragm, external intercostal and parasternal) and accessory (sternomastoid, cleidomastoid, scalene and trapezius) muscle form, function and control in early (4 months) and advanced (16 months) dystrophic disease. Peak inspiratory pressure is preserved in 4‐month‐old mdx mice but is decreased in 16‐month‐

Effects of Stress, Vagal Nerve Stimulation and Disease Activity on Circulating Cytokines, Quantified by an Ultrasensitive Technique, in Ulcerative Colitis: A Pilot Study

open access: yesJGH Open, Volume 9, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Aims The utility of circulating cytokine concentrations in ulcerative colitis is limited due to poor assay sensitivity. We aimed to examine the relationship of circulating cytokine concentrations, when measured by ultrasensitive detection, to disease activity, response to induction therapy, and physiological stimuli associated with mucosal ...
