Effectiveness of adjunctive low‐dose clobazam in adults with focal drug‐resistant epilepsy and incomplete response to cenobamate: A real‐world study

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Cenobamate (CNB) is a highly effective antiseizure medication (ASM) for focal drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE); nevertheless, even with CNB treatment and optimized therapy, a substantial proportion of patients continued to experience seizures.

Vagus nerve stimulation: current concepts

Neurosurgical Focus, 2008
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has become an accepted treatment option for pharmacologically resistant epilepsy. Although initially approved for adults, it increasingly has gained acceptance in children. In this article the author reviews the current state of knowledge of VNS therapy and discusses its potential utility.

Research progress on the role of inflammatory mediators in the pathogenesis of epilepsy

Ibrain, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 44-58, Spring 2025.
In the central nervous system, activated immune cells lead to the overproduction of inflammatory mediators through the corresponding signal pathway. Under the stimulation of inflammatory factors, neuroinflammation ultimately occurs. Overexpression of inflammatory mediators and activated immunocytes plays an important role in the emergence and ...

The Laryngeal Auditory Startle Reflex (LASR): A New Component of the Auditory Startle Response

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The auditory startle reflex contains a distinct laryngeal component, termed the laryngeal auditory startle reflex (LASR). In healthy adults, the LASR is modulated by supratentorial influences and habituates to repetitive stimuli. Physiologic and pathologic implications for the LASR as a component of the overall human SR remain to be determined but may ...

Massage Stimulation Reduces Tumor Necrotic Factor-alpha and Interleukin-6 in Preterm, Low Birth Weight with Appropriate Gestational Age Newborns [PDF]

, 2013
Preterm newborn is susceptible from various stresses such as infections or non infections. During stress, immune response is activated by synthesizing and releasing of cytokines from activated immune cells into the circulation.

Value‐Based Neuromonitoring in Thyroidectomy: A Comprehensive Cost–Utility Analysis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To compare the cost–utility of major intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) strategies in thyroidectomy across commercial platforms, and to quantify the impact of continuous IONM (CIONM), automated nerve trend monitoring, postoperative laryngoscopy policy, and technical failure on total episode costs and medicolegal burden.

Validation of the TruBlue Light Laser for Laryngeal Somatosensory and Perturbation Testing

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study validates a blue light laser method for assessing laryngeal somatosensory function by measuring perceptual thresholds, reflexive responses, discrimination acuity, and vocal perturbations in healthy adults. Results demonstrate that the method provides precise, reliable stimulation and yields quantifiable sensory and acoustic responses ...

The Impact of Etiology on Time to Vocal Fold Motion Recovery in Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The time course of vocal fold motion recovery in UVFP reflects the underlying etiologies. This study showed that there was no difference in the time to recovery between UVFP from cardiothoracic versus thyroid/parathyroid surgeries, challenging the long‐held assumption that recovery time is proportional to the distance between injury site and larynx ...

Effects of Noninvasive Cervical Vagal Nerve Stimulation on Cognitive Performance But Not Brain Activation in Healthy Adults

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract Objectives While preliminary evidence suggests that noninvasive vagal nerve stimulation (nVNS) may enhance cognition, to our knowledge, no study has directly assessed the effects of nVNS on brain function and cognitive performance in healthy individuals.

Tiagabine-induced encephalopathy suppressed by vagus nerve stimulation: A case report

Epilepsy & Behavior Reports
Tiagabine has been associated with reports of status epilepticus as well as encephalopathy, even when used within therapeutic doses. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has been used successfully to reduce seizure frequency in the outpatient setting as well as
