Efficacy of transcranial direct-current stimulation in women with provoked vestibulodynia
(2017)
Abstract: Background: Provoked vestibulodynia (PVD) is a highly prevalent condition characterized by acute recurrent pain located at the vaginal entrance in response to pressure application or attempt of vaginal penetration. ...
Nlrx1 regulates neuronal cell death
(2014)
Background
Regulation of cell death during neurodegeneration is one of the key factors that play a role in the speed at which a disease progresses. Out of several cellular pathways responsible for this progression, ...
The newborn lamb as a new model for studying gastroesophageal reflux
(2012)
We aimed to determine whether the newborn lamb at term is a valid model for studying gastroesophageal reflux. Seven bottle-fed lambs, ages 2 to 3 days, underwent esophageal multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH monitoring ...
Laryngeal muscle activity during nasal high frequency oscillatory ventilation in non-sedated newborn lambs
(2015)
Background:
We have previously shown that nasal pressure support ventilation (nPSV) can lead to an active inspiratory laryngeal narrowing in lambs. This, in turn, can limit lung ventilation and divert air into the ...
Effects of postnatal environmental tobacco smoke on non-nutritive swallowing-breathing coordination in newborn lambs
(2013)
While prenatal environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure is a well-known risk factor for sudden infant death syndrome, the effect of postnatal ETS exposure is less clear. The objective of this study was to investigate the ...
Validation of a new automatic smoking machine to study the effects of cigarette smoke in newborn lambs
(2010)
The aim of this study was to describe the characteristics and validate the use of a new, custom-built automatic smoking machine (ASM), primarily designed to study the effects of an environmental tobacco smoke surrogate ...
Effects of moderate hyperbilirubinemia on nutritive swallowing and swallowing-breathing coordination in preterm lambs
(2015)
Background:
Hyperbilirubinemia (HB) occurs in 90% of preterm newborns. HB induces acute neurological disorders (somnolence, abnormal tone, feeding difficulties, auditory dysfunction) and alterations in respiratory ...
Effects of postnatal smoke exposure on laryngeal chemoreflexes in newborn lambs
(2010)
Laryngeal chemoreflexes (LCR), which are elicited by the contact of liquids such as gastric refluxate with laryngeal mucosa, may trigger some cases of sudden infant death syndrome. Indeed, while LCR in mature mammals consist ...
Laryngeal narrowing during nasal ventilation does not originate from bronchopulmonary C-fibers
(2014)
We previously showed that nasal pressure support ventilation (nPSV) can lead to active inspiratory laryngeal narrowing, which originates from the stimulation of bronchopulmonary receptors. Among the three major types of ...
Sustained drug use changes following hepatitis C screening and counseling among recently infected persons who inject drugs: a longitudinal study
(2014)
BACKGROUND: Notification of hepatitis C virus (HCV) positive status is known to have short-term impacts on subsequent alcohol, drug use and injection behaviors among persons who inject drugs (PWID). It remains to be ...
