New animal model for assessment of functional laryngeal motor innervation

- The functional motor innervation of the larynx is not fully understood because of the complexity of the peripheral neuroanatomy. Since the late 19th century, there has been controversy regarding the role of the superior laryngeal nerve, which may have wider motor projections than are currently acknowledged. The aim of this study was to develop a large animal model to characterize and quantify the functional motor input to the intrinsic laryngeal muscles. Methods: We performed invasive electrophysiology (evoked electromyography) in normal pigs. Results: The thyroarytenoid, lateral cricoarytenoid, and posterior cricoarytenoid muscles receive dual innervation from both the superior and recurrent laryngeal nerves, whereas the cricothyroid muscle is innervated only by the superior laryngeal nerve. Conclusions: The dual innervation pattern from both laryngeal nerves supports the concept of a laryngeal nerve plexus. The motor input through the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve was surprisingly high. The animal model presented here may be used in future investigations of laryngeal reinnervation following nerve injury.

European reference network for rare vascular diseases (VASCERN) consensus statement for the screening and management of patients with pathogenic ACTA2 variants
- 2019

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The ACTA2 gene encodes for smooth muscle specific α-actin, a critical component of the contractile apparatus of the vascular smooth muscle cell. Pathogenic variants in the ACTA2 gene are the most frequently encountered genetic cause of non-syndromic hereditary thoracic aortic disease (HTAD). Although thoracic aortic aneurysm and/or dissection is the main clinical manifestation, a variety of occlusive vascular disease and extravascular manifestations occur in ACTA2-related vasculopathy. Current data suggest possible mutation-specific manifestations of vascular and extra-aortic traits.Despite its relatively high prevalence, comprehensive recommendations on the care of patients and families with pathogenic variants in ACTA2 have not yet been established. We aimed to develop a consensus document to provide medical guidance for health care professionals involved in the diagnosis and treatment of patients and relatives with pathogenic variants in ACTA2.The HTAD Working Group of the European Reference Network for Rare Vascular Diseases (VASCERN) convened to review current literature and discuss expert opinions on clinical management of ACTA2 related vasculopathy. This consensus statement summarizes our recommendations on diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, pregnancy, genetic counselling and testing in patients with ACTA2-related vasculopathy. However, there is a clear need for additional prospective multicenter studies to further define proper guidelines.
