Although adequate vagotomy allows most ulcers to heal, and reduces gastric secretion, it does not necessarily follow that excessive vagal stimulation has been directly responsible for the ulcer in ...

Recent data suggest remarkable effects of vagus stimulation (reduction) and vagotomy (exacerbation) on acute inflammation in rats, the so-called “inflammatory reflex”. Its role in humans remains ...

Dragstedt figured that cutting the vagus nerves would cut down the acid output. His operation, “vagotomy,” is not as simple as it sounds: surgeons often have difficulty finding and cutting all ...

Truncal vagotomy. This procedure cuts out part of the vagus nerve at the gastroesophageal junction . This is the area that connects the tube from your mouth, called the esophagus, to your stomach.

Seventy-three unselected patients with perforated duodenal ulcer were treated by vagotomy and pyloroplasty in a six-year period. Postoperative complications were commoner when the operation was ...

Objective Truncal vagotomy is associated with a decreased risk of subsequent Parkinson disease (PD), although the effect of vagotomy on dementia is unclear. In response, we investigated the risk of ...

By cutting the vagus nerve, known as a “vagotomy,” it prevented the ability of famotidine to stop the cytokine storms. “Recent observational and clinical studies have suggested that famotidine, which ...

Vagotomy selectively blunts this signaling, attenuates Aβ and Tau pathologies, and restores learning and memory. Aβ or Tau fibrils or AD patient brain lysates injected into the colon propagate from ...
