BACKGROUND Primary insomnia is a common health issue in the modern world. We conducted a systematic review of the auricular therapy, aiming to evaluate whether there are advantages of auricular acupuncture with seed or pellet attachments for the treatment of primary insomnia. METHODS A search of relevant literatures was performed on major medical databases, including Medline, Embase, CENTRAL,...

Auricular therapies have been applied to diseases since ancient times. Inspired by auricular acupuncture of TCM, and to overcome the disadvantages classic vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), we developed transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS). It was applied to neurological and mental disorders, and also shows a bright prospect to these diseases.

Procaine amide (Pronestyl) was administered to patients with auricular fibrillation and flutter in an attempt to restore sinus rhythm. Thirteen of 20 patients with auricular fibrillation had sinus rhythm re-established. Several of the patients who were not converted with procaine amide were later restored to sinus rhythm with quinidine. OR MANY YEARS the restoration of sinus rhythm in patients ...

Currently, patients with external ear deformities rely on hyaline cartilage grafts or silicone prosthesis to provide them with adequate external ear reconstruction. Scaffold-free auricular tissue engineering provides a means of creating patient specific cartilage constructs solely using their own cells, ensuring biocompatibility, long term stability, and reduced morbidity. Here, we have develop...

The mammalian external ear houses extrinsic and intrinsic auricular muscles. There are three extrinsic auricular muscles-the posterior, superior, and anterior auricular muscles-and six intrinsic muscles-the helicis major and minor, tragicus, anti-tragicus, transverse and oblique muscles. These muscles have been considered vestigial in humans. However, numerous therapeutic and diagnostic wearabl...

There were 39 cases of auricular fibrillation in this series*. Only cases diagnosed by electrocardiograms are included. Other cases are eliminated. Age.?The youngest patient was a boy of 19 years who was admitted with mitral endocarditis and auricular fibrillation. He died in the hospital. The oldest patient was a man of 60 years with senile myocarditis. The majority of patients were between 30...

Acetylcholine (2 x io" to 2 x io~ M) depolarized the isolated ventricle of Dolabella auricularia. The depolarization was accompanied by a negatively inotropic effect from 2 x io~* M to 2 x io~* M, and by a positively tonotropic effect from 2 x io~* M to 2 x icr M. The interaction of acetylcholine and 5-hydroxytryptamine was studied by artificially prolonging the plateau of the cardiac action po...

Early prosthetic treatment is believed to be psychologically beneficial to children who have an ear defect resulting from congenital malformation. Lack of soft tissue landmarks and minimal bone thickness in deformed auricular areas are sometimes problematic for craniofacial implant placement in these children. This article describes procedures to confirm locations of craniofacial auricular impl...
