Regulation of enteric nervous system via sacral nerve stimulation in opioid-induced constipated rats

Liyun Wang, Payam Gharibani, Yi Yang, Yu Guo, Jieyun Yin

Summary: This study investigated the effects of sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) on Loperamide-induced constipation in rats. The results showed that SNS with appropriate parameters improved whole colon transit time, resolved constipation, reversed the detrimental effects of Loperamide on enteric neurons, and increased the expressions of GDNF and p-AKT in colon tissue. The findings suggest that SNS may be a potential treatment for opioid-induced constipation.

Sacral Nerve Stimulation in Children with Medically Refractory Fecal Incontinence or Severe Constipation

Stephen Trinidad, Amanda Jensen, Monica Holder, Allison Elsner, Nelson Rosen, Aaron Garrison, Beth Rymeski, Jason S. Frischer

Summary: This study evaluated the outcomes of sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) in patients with medically refractory fecal incontinence or severe constipation. A retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients who underwent SNS placement after failed medical management at a single center. The rates of involuntary bowel movements were compared pre- and post-SNS using a bowel severity score questionnaire.

There Once Was a Really Bad Poet, It Was Automated but You Didn't Know It

Jianyou Wang, Xiaoxuan Zhang, Yuren Zhou, Christopher Suh, Cynthia Rudin

Summary: Limerick generation presents significant challenges in poetry generation, requiring storytelling in just five lines while adhering to constraints on rhyme, stress, and meter. LimGen, an automated system, outperforms other poetry models by utilizing Adaptive Multi-Templated Constraint, Multi-Templated Beam Search, and probabilistic Storyline algorithms to produce limericks that meet poetic constraints with cohesive storylines.

Summary: This study evaluated the long-term efficacy of occipital nerve stimulation (ONS) in treating refractory chronic cluster headache (rCCH) and found that ONS can significantly reduce attack frequency, improve quality of life, and emotional impacts in patients. In responders, ONS led to a major reduction of functional and emotional headache-related impacts and a dramatic improvement of quality of life.

Preservation of the superior rectal artery in laparoscopic colectomy for slow transit constipation: Is it really associated with better outcomes?

Rogerio Serafim Parra, Omar Feres, Jose Joaquim Ribeiro Rocha

Summary: Subtotal colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis can benefit some patients with slow-transit constipation, but the study had limitations such as lack of a comparison group and not presenting the functional results of patients after surgery. Additionally, the authors found the surgical procedure to be safe with no cases of leakage.

Do you really want to deactivate your sacral neuromodulation device during pregnancy? A single center case series

Marco Agnello, Mario Vottero, Paola Bertapelle

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) during pregnancy. A total of 14 pregnancies among 11 women who underwent SNM implantation were included in the study. The results showed that maintaining the SNM device on during pregnancy appeared to be safe, with no major urological complications reported among the majority of women. The study also suggested that the risks associated with switching the device off may outweigh the benefits, justifying the continuation of electrical stimulation throughout pregnancy.

Sacral Neuromodulation for defecation disorders after non oncologic pelvic surgery

Jacopo Martellucci, Alfredo Annicchiarico, Maximilian Scheiterle, Mario Trompetto, Paolo Prosperi

Summary: The present study evaluated the role of sacral neuromodulation for the treatment of constipation and other evacuation disorders after surgery. The results showed that sacral neuromodulation is a feasible, safe, and effective method with long-term benefits in the treatment of defecatory dysfunction after pelvic or colorectal surgery.

Peripheral Nerve Stimulation for Treatment of Headaches: An Evidence-Based Review

Steven Zhou, Nasir Hussain, Alaa Abd-Elsayed, Racha Boulos, Mohammed Hakim, Mayank Gupta, Tristan Weaver

Summary: Headaches are a common medical complaint worldwide, with peripheral nerve stimulation emerging as a novel treatment for intractable headaches. While evidence supports its use, efficacy is limited to specific nerves and headache types, requiring further research for mainstream adoption.

Evaluation of optical tracking and augmented reality for needle navigation in sacral nerve stimulation

Rafael Moreta-Martinez, Ines Rubio-Perez, Monica Garcia-Sevilla, Laura Garcia-Elcano, Javier Pascau

Summary: This study proposes and evaluates two navigation systems for guiding electrode placement in sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) surgeries. Both navigation methods demonstrate better results than the standard clinical method in terms of reducing surgical time, minimizing patient discomfort, and improving surgical outcomes.

It was kind of a nightmare, it really was: financial toxicity among rural women cancer survivors

Emily Hallgren, Ramey Moore, Britni L. L. Ayers, Rachel S. Purvis, Gwendolyn Bryant-Smith, Peter DelNero, Pearl A. A. McElfish

Summary: The study aimed to explore how rural women cancer survivors experience and manage financial toxicity. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 36 socioeconomically diverse rural women cancer survivors. Participants were categorized into three groups based on financial and job security and insurance type, and their strategies for managing financial toxicity were described. The findings suggest that financial toxicity related to cancer treatment is experienced differently by rural women cancer survivors, and therefore financial assistance and navigation programs should be tailored to support rural patients experiencing different forms of financial toxicity.

Closed-loop vagal nerve stimulation for intractable epilepsy: A single-center experience

Graham M. Winston, Sergio Guadix, Miguel Tusa Lavieri, Rafael Uribe-Cardenas, Gary Kocharian, Nicholas Williams, Evan Sholle, Zachary Grinspan, Caitlin E. Hoffman

Summary: The study suggests that closed-loop VNS devices are associated with greater reduction in seizure frequency and more favorable clinical outcomes compared to open-loop devices at 9 months, although not significant at 24 months. Further studies in other centers are needed to validate the findings.

Therapeutic potential and mechanisms of sacral nerve stimulation for gastrointestinal diseases

Ximeng Wang, Jiande D. Z. Chen

Summary: The systematic review aims to introduce the clinical applications and potential mechanisms of sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) for various gastrointestinal diseases. The results showed that SNS is highly effective in treating fecal incontinence, but it is ineffective for constipation. Further research is needed to explore the potential applications of SNS for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Efficacy of transcutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation in functional constipation

Carlos Velasco-Benitez, Eder Villamarin, Melissa Mendez, Alfredo Linero, Gregory Hungria, Miguel Saps

Summary: Functional constipation in children can be improved with conventional treatments, but some children may have poor treatment outcomes. This study found that transcutaneous PTNS shows significant improvement in stool consistency, fecal incontinence, abdominal pain, and hematochezia, suggesting it could be a promising noninvasive treatment for children with functional constipation. However, more extensive studies are needed for further validation.
