Temporal arteritis, otherwise known as giant cell arteritis, affects the temporal artery of middle-aged or ... CNS involvement may include paralysis of seventh cranial nerve and phrenic nerve palsy, ...

On the heels of the first pulsed-field ablation device to win approval for atrial fibrillation ablation, a novel version of the technology appears to improve the durability of AF control over 1 ...

Phrenic nerve trauma in the absence of direct injury is unusual and may present diagnostic difficulty. Diaphragmatic paralysis resulting from phrenic nerve injury may closely mimic diaphragmatic ...

3. Temporal artery abnormality: Temporal artery tenderness to palpation or decreased pulsation unrelated to arteriosclerosis of cervical arteries: 4. Elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate: ...

Schmidt et al. originally reported the ultrasound appearance of a hypoechoic halo' around affected arteries in 1997 (Figure 7). Other ultrasonographic features include arterial occlusion and stenosis.

Electrical phrenic nerve stimulation bypasses these central deficits by directly activating the nerve, enhancing neuromuscular transmission and promoting neuroplasticity in residual pathways.

The safety and reliability of a system for long-term intramuscular electrical activation of the phrenic nerve was evaluated in seven dogs. In this system, electrodes are implanted bilaterally into the ...

DREADD-mediated activation of phrenic motor output produces sustained increases in diaphragm activity and tidal volume, highlighting a potential strategy to restore breathing in clinical conditions ...

Abstract. Impaired respiratory motor output contributes to morbidity and mortality in many neurodegenerative diseases and neurologic injuries. We investigated if expressing designer receptors ...
