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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Selective stimulation of the ferret abdominal vagus nerve with multi-contact nerve cuff electrodes
Scientific Reports, 2021 Dysfunction and diseases of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are a major driver of medical care. The vagus nerve innervates and controls multiple organs of the GI tract and vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) could provide a means for affecting GI function and ...

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are common in CHARGE syndrome, but their frequency and characteristics remain poorly documented due to the complex nature of CHARGE syndrome. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of GI issues in CHARGE syndrome and their impact on quality of life (QoL).
