Effect of vagus nerve stimulation against generalized seizure and status epilepticus recurrence

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
ObjectiveVagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a palliative surgery for drug-resistant epilepsy. The two objectives of this study were to (1) determine the seizure type most responsive to VNS and (2) investigate the preventive effect on status epilepticus (SE)

A VNS-based approach for solving the Manhattan metric straddle carrier routing problem with buffer areas [PDF]

Yugoslav Journal of Operations Research
This paper presents a metaheuristic approach for solving an optimization problem that arises at container terminals where straddle carriers (SCs) transport containers between the stacking areas and the seaside.

Vagal nerve stimulation preserves right ventricular function in a rat model of right ventricular pressure overload

Pulmonary Circulation, 2022
Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) ameliorates pulmonary vascular remodeling and improves survival in a rat model of pulmonary hypertension (PH). However, the direct impact of VNS on right ventricular (RV) function, which is the key predictor of PH patients ...

Vagus Nerve Stimulation Amplifies Task-Induced Cerebral Blood Flow Increase

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021
BackgroundVagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an established palliative surgical treatment for refractory epilepsy. Recently, pairing VNS with rehabilitation received growing attention for their joint effect on neural plasticity.

Methods, systems, and devices for pairing vagus nerve stimulation with motor therapy in stroke patients [PDF]

, 2014
A method of treating motor deficits in a stroke patient, comprising assessing a patient's motor deficits, determining therapeutic goals for the patient, based on the patient's motor deficits, selecting therapeutic tasks based on the therapeutic goals ...

A proposal towards a VNS-based decision support tool for large scale location-covering-type problems [PDF]

Yugoslav Journal of Operations Research
We describe a number of typical features, constraints and objectives, frequently appearing in spatial system-design of maximum covering-type, such as emergency response systems.

Self-Administration of Right Vagus Nerve Stimulation Activates Midbrain Dopaminergic Nuclei

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Background: Left cervical vagus nerve stimulation (l-VNS) is an FDA-approved treatment for neurological disorders including epilepsy, major depressive disorder, and stroke, and l-VNS is increasingly under investigation for a range of other neurological ...

Vagus nerve stimulation paired with tactile training improved sensory function in a chronic stroke patient [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Recent studies indicate that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) paired with rehabilitation can enhance neural plasticity in the primary sensory and motor cortices, improve forelimb function after stroke in animal models and improve motor function ...

Identification of vagus nerve stimulation parameters affecting rat hippocampal electrophysiology without temperature effects

Brain Stimulation, 2020
Background: Recent experiments in rats have demonstrated significant effects of VNS on hippocampal excitability but were partially attributed to hypothermia, induced by the applied VNS parameters.
