objectives:vagal pathways in gastrointestinal tract are the most important pathways that regulate ischemia/reperfusion (i/r).  gastrointestinal tract is one of the important sources of melatonin production. the aim of this study was to investigate probable protective effect of the interaction between vagus nerve and melatonin after i/r. materials and methods:this study was performed in male rat...

during the past few years, researchers and practitioners have developed novel techniques, using ansa cervicalis to innervate muscles of the larynx paralyzed due to surgical procedures carried out in the chest and neck areas. during routine dissection of a middle-age male cadaver, an unusual course of the superior root of the ansa cervicalis was observed. in this case, the superior root of the a...

Vagus Nerve Stimulation In article 2201627 by Matsuhiko Nishizawa and co-workers, a totally organic hydrogel-based cuff-type stimulation electrode with self-closing properties is developed. The cuff spontaneously immobilized to the vagus nerve wrapped around bundle harmless pressure. nature of compatible MRI imaging.

As a new type of nerve regulation technology, Vagus Nerve Stimulation is currently used in the treatment nervous system diseases. Auricular has become one research hotspots this field, because there no implantation risk. However, unified standard for parameters aVNS In paper, progress anatomical structure and vagus its role diseases are reviewed to provide basis further research.

abstract intraabdominal schwannomas are rare tumors that may arise from viscera or abdominal wall. the rarity accompanied by occurrence in odds places may make their diagnosis difficult and delayed. we present a case of distal paraesophageal schwannoma with long-term cachexia. a34-year-old man presented with long-lasting vomiting, dysphagia, and progressive cachexia for four years. multiple par...

absracta rare variant of ansa cervicalis was discovered during dissection of the neck in amale cadaver. the superior root of the ansa cervicalis was formed by the c1 ventralramus. it accompanied with the vagus nerve in place of the hypoglossal nerve and descendedinto the carotid sheath with it. moreover the c1 ventral ramus formed fromthe sheath and joined the inferior root from c2 and c3 ventr...

BACKGROUND Vagus nerve stimulation is increasingly applied to treat epilepsy, psychiatric conditions and potentially chronic heart failure. After implanting vagus nerve electrodes to the cervical vagus nerve, side effects such as voice alterations and dyspnea or missing therapeutic effects are observed at different frequencies. Cervical vagus nerve branching might partly be responsible for thes...
