The anatomical basis for transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation

Journal of Anatomy, 2019
The array of end organ innervations of the vagus nerve, coupled with increased basic science evidence, has led to vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) being explored as a management option in a number of clinical disorders, such as heart failure, migraine and ...

A history of gastrectomy is a risk factor for choledocholithiasis in patients undergoing cholecystectomy: A single center retrospective study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This retrospective study suggests that gastrectomy is a risk factor for choledocholithiasis. Especially in terms of the differences in reconstruction methods, the median time from gastrectomy to development of choledocholithiasis was 5.5 years for Roux‐en‐Y, which was significantly faster than 20 years for Billroth I and 35 years for Billroth II ...

Forced normalization after turning off vagus nerve stimulation in Lennox–Gastaut syndrome

Epilepsy and Behavior Case Reports, 2019
Forced normalization is the development of psychiatric symptoms in a patient experiencing remission of seizures. We present a case of Lennox Gastaut syndrome in which forced normalization developed after vagus nerve stimulation was stopped.The patient ...

Wake-promoting effects of vagus nerve stimulation after traumatic brain injury: upregulation of orexin-A and orexin receptor type 1 expression in the prefrontal cortex

Neural Regeneration Research, 2018
Orexins, produced in the lateral hypothalamus, are important neuropeptides that participate in the sleep/wake cycle, and their expression coincides with the projection area of the vagus nerve in the brain.

Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation [PDF]

European Neurological Review, 2011
Invasive vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an approved treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy. Besides its recognised clinical efficacy, there are major drawbacks, such as invasiveness and a great many side effects. Therefore there is a medical demand for transcutaneous VNS (t-VNS®), which combines selective, non-invasive access to vagus nerve afferents ...

The Use of Non-invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation to Treat Respiratory Symptoms Associated With COVID-19: A Theoretical Hypothesis and Early Clinical Experience

Neuromodulation (Malden, Mass.), 2020
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), is a pandemic with no specific therapeutic agents and substantial mortality, and finding new treatments is critical.

Current status, trends, and controversies in the selection of gastrectomy procedures: Insights from two nationwide questionnaire surveys conducted over a 7‐year interval in Japan

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study investigates the evolving trends and challenges in gastrectomy procedures in Japan, drawing on two nationwide surveys conducted in 2014 and 2021. Results show a significant shift toward minimally invasive and function‐preserving surgeries, such as laparoscopic and robot‐assisted gastrectomy, with an emphasis on enhancing postoperative ...

Fluorescence Guided Surgery in Gastric Cancer: What Do We Have and What Can We Do?

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objective Fluorescence imaging has emerged as a valuable adjunct in gastric surgery, enhancing resection precision and oncologic outcomes. However, the use of indocyanine green (ICG) remains controversial due to uncertainties in efficacy and administration. A lack of standardized protocols persists.

Solving the Amyloid Paradox: Unveiling the Complex Pathogenicity of Amyloid Fibrils

Aggregate, EarlyView.
This review addresses the gap between strong evidence for the involvement of amyloid fibrils in neurodegeneration and the failure of anti‐amyloid therapies, a phenomenon herein termed the “amyloid paradox.” To address this paradox, we provide a comprehensive summary of the current understanding of fibrils' pathogenic properties and mechanisms ...
