Does implantable gastric stimulation alter expression of oxytocin- and orexin-containing neurons in the hypothalamus of rats?
IGS increases the expression of hypothalamic neurons containing the anorexigenic neuropeptide, oxytocin, and decreases the expression of neurons containing the orexigenic neuropeptide, orexin. This central anorexigenic effect of GES may contribute to the reduced appetite and increased satiety in obese patients with IGS therapy.
The evidence of how the clamp works in the cadaver model showed that clamp use can plausibly be tailored to control inguinal hemorrhage from one wound, control two ipsilateral wounds with hemorrhage from one artery (e.g., common iliac artery), and control bilateral inguinal wounds (compression of the origins of bilateral common iliac arteries).
