Functional Anatomy of the Spinal Trigeminal Nucleus
1993
The trigeminal nerve (nV) conveys general somatic afferent exteroceptive input from the skin of the face and the frontal parts of the head, the mucous membranes of the oral cavity, tongue and nose, the tooth pulp, eye and meninges via the trigeminal (Gasserian) ganglion to the nuclei of termination [28]. Somatosensory input reaches the principal sensory nucleus of the nV and the spinal trigeminal nucleus of the nV (STN). Proprioceptive input from masticatory muscles innervated by trigeminal motor efferents is transferred to the nV mesencephalic nucleus.
An In Vitro Experiment for Postmortem Vascular Permeation. The Passage of Morphine and Morphine Glucuronides Across a Vascular Wall
1997
A venous blood sample taken at autopsy cannot be considered to represent the antemortem blood concentration of a particular substance. Autolytic processes cause disintegration and increasing permeability of the physiological and anatomical barriers such as vascular walls and lead to changes in substance concentrations. In the present study, the experimental design represents an in vitro postmortem simulation of a drug substance crossing a venous wall. The postmortem behavior of morphine, morphine-3- and morphine-6-glucuronide was investigated. A Chien-Valia-diffusion chamber with a patch of inferior vena cava as diffusion barrier was used. For optimal simulation of postmortem events, vein s…
FV 2. Modulation of the cortical vestibular network by means of rTMS and its neural correlate
2016
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been applied to sensory research and for the treatment of disorders in psychiatry and neurology since 1993 ( Wassermann and Zimmermann, 2012 ). The widespread cortical vestibular system, however, has to date not been targeted. Aim of our study was to manipulate vestibular regions in the human cortex by temporary virtual lesioning through rTMS and analyse the changes in the perception of a galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) as well as the differing activation patterns in functional neuroimaging. The effects of rectangular and sinusoidal bimastoidal GVS were studied in 16 healthy volunteers (8 F; mean age 23 years) in a 3T scanner. Da…
A randomized controlled trial comparing nerve block and mandibular infiltration techniques in posterior mandible implant surgeries
2018
Background To compare global surgical pain under nerve block and mandibular infiltration anesthesia techniques, and to evaluate pain during drilling and the distance to the mandibular canal in posterior mandible implant surgeries. Material and Methods A prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blind, clinical trial was conducted to compare nerve block (Group A) to mandibular infiltration (Group B) techniques for dental implant placement. Global surgical pain (VAS = visual analogue scale), pain during drilling or implant placement (MPQ = McGill pain questionnaire) and distance to the mandibular canal (Image J) were statically analyzed. Age, gender, anxiety levels, tooth to be replaced, im…

Revisión de la sección del yacimiento del Mas de la Chimenea Alta (Formación Arcillas de Morella, Castellón) y significado en el contexto paleoambien…
2012
Desde los primeros estudios estratigráficos y paleontológicos, que datan de principios del siglo XX, la Fm Morella se ha caracterizado por su coloración rojiza y su contenido fósil. La mayor parte de sus depósitos se han interpretado como continentales, aunque con intercalaciones locales de materiales marinos. En esta unidad se da la paradoja de que muchos de los lugares descritos con fauna de vertebrados continentales se encuentran en depósitos interpretados como ambientes marinos poco profundos y de transición. La sección del Mas de la Chimenea Alta es un ejemplo. Ésta contiene yacimientos con fósiles de vertebrados que son claramente alóctonos, pero también otros, con icnitas que permite…
Hypofractionnated radiotherapy for elderly patients with prostate cancer
2018
Radiation therapy technique and schedules could be adapted to patient's age because of a natural history of prostate cancer perceived as different, taking into account the comorbidities of patients but also a particular tolerance of elderly subjects. Thus, in localized prostate cancer, evaluation of associated diseases is essential before considering a treatment that will be of interest only if the life expectancy is greater than 10 years. When a curative approach is decided, radiotherapy holds a place of choice. Due to the recent results of randomized studies evaluating moderate hypofractionnated radiotherapy, showing a carcinological equivalence compared to a standard fractionation, this …
Microvascular density and tumor budding in oral squamous cell carcinoma
2022
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most prevalent malignant head and neck tumor, excluding the nonmelanoma skin cancer. Despite recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment, the disease's mortality rate is nonetheless high. The presence of isolated neoplastic cells or small clusters of up to four cells at the tumor?s invasive front, named tumor budding, is associated with a worse prognosis in OSCC. Angiogenesis has also been recognized as a determining factor in the progression of malignancies and in the development of metastases. Several studies have investigated the assessment of microvascular density (MVD) as a potential prognostic factor in OSCC. This study aimed to evaluate, …
High frequency rTMS over the left parietal lobule increases non-word reading accuracy
2012
Increasing evidence in the literature supports the usefulness of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in studying reading processes. Two brain regions are primarily involved in phonological decoding: the left superior temporal gyrus (STG), which is associated with the auditory representation of spoken words, and the left inferior parietal lobe (IPL), which operates in phonological computation. This study aimed to clarify the specific contribution of IPL and STG to reading aloud and to evaluate the possibility of modulating healthy participants' task performance using high frequency repetitive TMS (hf-rTMS). The main finding is that hf-rTMS over the left IPL improves non-word reading accu…
A comparison of injection pain with articaine with adrenaline, prilocaine with phenylpressin and lidocaine with adrenaline
2008
Kutuk, Nukhet/0000-0001-6563-1899 WOS: 000259667200006 PubMed: 18587306 Objective: The objective of the present study was to investigate the pain on injection of articaine with adrenaline, prilocaine with phenylpressin, and lidocaine with adrenaline. Study Design: The study sample was comprised of 497 consecutively seen patients received 497 maxillary buccal infiltration injections or inferior alveolar block injections of 4% articaine with 1: 200.000 adrenaline, 3% prilocaine with 1.08mcg phenylpressin, or 2% lidocaine with 1: 100.000 adrenaline. Immediately after the injection, patients were asked to rate their injection pain on a six-point scale. Results: There were no significant differe…
