Open Access Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2017 BACKGROUND: The vagus nerve stimulation (vns) is an approach mainly used in cases of intractable epilepsy despite all the efforts. Also, its benefits have been shown in severe cases of depression resistant to typical treatment.AIM: The aim of this study was to present current knowledge of vagus nerve stimulation.MATERIAL AND METHODS: A new value has ...

Neurosurgical Focus, 2009 Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a key tool in the treatment of patients with medically refractory epilepsy. Although the mechanism of action of VNS remains poorly understood, this modality is now the most widely used nonpharmacological treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy.

Neurofibrosarcoma of the vagus nerve [PDF]
Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1983 Summary A patient whose symptoms of cough and intermittent hoarseness were due to a neurofibrosarcoma of the vagus nerve is described. Attention is drawn to the rarity of the tumour and a short review of the pathology and treatment of neurofibrosarcoma is discussed.

Transcutaneous Sonography for Detection of the Cervical Vagus Nerve
Ear, Nose & Throat Journal, 2021 Cervical vagus nerve is not identified by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Transcutaneous sonography may be the best imaging study to evaluate the cervical vagus nerve.

Vagus nerve stimulation and inflammation: expanding the scope beyond cytokines
Bioelectronic Medicine, 2022 Approximately 20 years ago it was discovered that the vagus nerve regulates pro-inflammatory cytokine levels and inflammation. Subsequent research using several preclinical models revealed that vagus nerve stimulation evokes a protective decrease in pro ...

Decoding Vagus-Nerve Activity with Carbon Nanotube Sensors in Freely Moving Rodents
Biosensors, 2022 The vagus nerve is the largest autonomic nerve and a major target of stimulation therapies for a wide variety of chronic diseases. However, chronic recording from the vagus nerve has been limited, leading to significant gaps in our understanding of vagus

Association between vagus nerve cross-sectional area measured by ultrasound and inflammatory biomarkers in hospitalised patients with COVID-19 [PDF]
Journal of Medical BiochemistryBackground: The vagus nerve plays an important role in neuroimmune communication. This study aimed to examine whether systemic inflammatory biomarkers are associated with ultrasound-measured cross-sectional area (CSA) of the vagus nerve in hospitalised ...

The controversial role of the vagus nerve in mediating ghrelin's actions: gut feelings and beyond
IBRO Neuroscience Reports, 2022 Ghrelin is a stomach-derived peptide hormone that acts via the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) and displays a plethora of neuroendocrine, metabolic, autonomic and behavioral actions.
