The effects of destruction of this pathway were tested. It was found that cardiac rate could still be altered by stimulation of the main trunk of the superior laryngeal nerve, although the ramus communicans fibers were absent. Electrical stimulation of only the main trunk of the superior laryngeal nerve, but not any of its branches, is capable of causing cardiac changes. Cardiac changes also occur readily with mechanical stimulation of the area immediately superior to the vocal folds, despite bilateral destruction of the recurrent and superior laryngeal nerves. These findings question the proposed role of the laryngeal baroreceptor pathway as a major factor in the cause of cardiac changes related to intubation.","PeriodicalId":8315,"journal":{"name":"Archives of otolaryngology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83746503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For a possible curative effect, the suggestion is made to treat these adenoid cystic carcinoma patients with a \"three modality therapy.\" This combination therapy includes regional infusion with fluorouracil, followed by maxillary resection, sequentially followed by radiotherapy.

Symptoms of hearing loss cleared completely following radiation therapy. From our review of the literature, we judge this to be the first reported case of GCRG in the temporal bone. Also from our review, it appears that GCRG in the temporal bone is usually mistaken for a giant cell tumor. Diagnosis of GCRG in the reviewed material is based on typical histologic pictures as well as clinical information, particularly the fact that patients had a benign final outcome. Giant cell reparative granuloma is a nonneoplastic, benign reactive process caused by trauma and hemorrhage. It responds well to surgical removal. Radiation therapy is the treatment of choice for lesions not amenable to surgery.","PeriodicalId":8315,"journal":{"name":"Archives of otolaryngology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1974-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90209162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each suture line was protected by silicone elastomer tubing. The rationale behind these simultaneous separate nerve anastomoses was to attempt to avert crossed reinnervation and dyssynergia that often results from other nerve anastomosis techniques. Results were evaluated by follow-up of the animals with electromyographic studies and 16-mm motion pictures. All experimental animals regained normal and symmetrical electromyographic function, a high degree of voluntary synchronous adduction, and to a somewhat lesser extent, spontaneous synchronous abduction, at 12 to 14 months postoperatively. Results indicate that simultaneous separate nerve anastomosis offers promise for active reinnervation of the paralyzed larynx.","PeriodicalId":8315,"journal":{"name":"Archives of otolaryngology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1974-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91318581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
