The vagal rhizopathies

Frontiers in Neurology
Neurovascular compression of the tenth cranial nerve, the vagus nerve, can cause recognizable and neurosurgically treatable clinical conditions. This chapter will outline the clinical characteristics unique to vagus nerve compression and highlight both ...

Mortality and suicide risk in treatment-resistant depression: an observational study of the long-term impact of intervention.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Major depressive disorder is a common global disease that causes a significant societal burden. Most interventional studies of depression provide a limited assessment of the interventions on mortality and suicide risks.

A cholinergic-sympathetic pathway primes immunity in hypertension and mediates brain-to-spleen communication [PDF]

, 2016
The crucial role of the immune system in hypertension is now widely recognized. We previously reported that hypertensive challenges couple the nervous drive with immune system activation, but the physiological and molecular mechanisms of this connection ...

Gut Microbiome Pilot Study of Patients With CHARGE Syndrome and Sibling Controls

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Difficulties with feeding and digestion are common in individuals with CHARGE syndrome. Animal models with CHD7 gene variants demonstrate abnormal gut innovation and dysmotility. Our pilot study evaluated whether individuals with CHARGE syndrome have differences in their gut microbiome compared to unaffected siblings.

Syntopy of vagus nerve in the carotid sheath: A dissectional study of 50 cadavers

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, 2019
Background Vagus nerve anatomical position inside the carotid sheath is not clear in the literature. Nevertheless, monitoring laryngeal nerves during thyroid surgeries may damage big vessels in the carotid sheath (jugular vein; carotid artery).

Molecular Quantum (MolQ) Communication Channel in the Gut-Brain Axis Synapse [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Molecular, Biological, and Multi-Scale Communications (2024)
The gut-brain axis is the communication link between the gut and the brain. Although it is known that the gut-brain axis plays a pivotal role in homeostasis, its overall mechanism is still not known. However, for neural synapses, classical molecular communication is described by the formation of ligand-receptor complexes, which leads to the opening of ...

Peripheral vagus nerve stimulation significantly affects lipid composition and protein secondary structure within dopamine-related brain regions in rats [PDF]

, 2015
Recent immunohistochemical studies point to the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve as the point of departure of initial changes which are related to the gradual pathological developments in the dopaminergic system.

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor of the cervical vagus nerve in a neurofibromatosis type 1 patient - An unusual presentation [PDF]

, 2010
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST’S) of the head and neck comprise 2% to 6% of head and neck sarcomas. These tumors may arise as sporadic variants or in patients with neurofibromatosis (NF).

In vivo toxic and lethal cardiorespiratory effects of a synthetic quaternary ammonium salt derivative of haloperidol in mice

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Hematoxylin–eosin (H&E) stains of the heart, liver, lung, and kidney show acute toxicity. Abstract Background To investigate the toxicity of N‐n‐butyl haloperidol iodide (F2), a quaternary ammonium salt derivative of haloperidol, in mice for potential therapeutic purposes. Methods The acute median lethal dose (LD50) of F2 was determined using the Bliss

Intrathoracic schwannoma originating from intrathoracic vagus nerve

Clinical Case Reports, 2020
In differential diagnosis of posterior mediastinal mass should be included the intrathoracic vagus nerve tumor. Surgical excision of intrathoracic vagus nerve schwannoma is associated with a low recurrence rate and excellent long‐term results.
