PURPOSE Perineal transposition of the antropyloric valve following an anorectal excision as a substitute for a permanent colostomy has recently been reported in humans. However, the problem of neural control still remains in these patients. Our aim herein was to study the anatomical feasibility of an anastomosis between the pudendal nerve branches (inferior rectal nerve) innervating the externa...

The electrocardiographic records taken during vagus stimulation by pressure from children suffering with chronic heart disease have shown that the stimulation of the vagi in these cases is strikingly effectual. In some of the cases, a definite difference was demonstrated between the action of the right and left vagi. The control of the rate of the heart-beat seemed to predominate usually in the...

Abstract Background Head and neck is a relatively common site of occurrence for the peripheral nerve sheath tumors, majority these tumors are seen involving neck, vagus nerve, cervical sympathetic chain. Schwannomas mobile tongue rarely encountered, especially in pediatric population Case presentation We present case recurrent schwannoma 13-year-old female successfully managed with transoral ex...

it is well established that the esophageal distention (ed) leads to gastric relaxation, partly by vago-vagal reflex, but till now, the effect of ed on gastric acid secretion has not been investigated. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ed on basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion. methods: adult male wistar rats (200-240 g) were deprived of food but not the water 24 h b...

Changes in cochlear microphonics (CM) were observed by the injection f vegetative stimulants into the abdominal cavity, by the application f nicotine to the superior cervical ganglion, and by excision or electric stimulatian of the cervical sympathetic nerve and vagus nerve on guinea-pigs. 1) C. M. is reduced by the injection fatropine and acetylcholine while it is induced at the biginnig and t...
