Regulation of trigeminal respiratory motor activity in the brainstem.

30 Oct 2009 The trigeminal motor system participates in the control of respiration as well as suckling and mastication. However, the central mechanism underlying respiratory activity in trigeminal motoneurons is not well-understood. In this study, we aimed to ... Read more...

Electromyographic sensitivity of peroneus tertius relative to abductor hallucis in assessment of peripheral neuropathy.

29 Sep 2009 The objective of this study was to compare the sensitivity of needle electromyography of the abductor hallucis and peroneus tertius muscles in the diagnosis of mild length-dependent peripheral neuropathy (PN). Nerve conduction studies and needle ... Read more...

Electrogustometric assessment of taste after otologic surgery in children.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Long term taste dysfunction after otologic surgery has never been characterized in children. The aim of this study is to determine the rates of gustatory dysfunction in normal and postotologic surgery in children. STUDY ... Read more...
