Nervous system involvement in von Hippel-Lindau disease Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Patients with von Hippel-Lindau disease carry a germline mutation of the Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor-suppressor gene. We discuss the molecular consequences of loss of VHL gene function and their impact on the nervous system. Dysfunction of the VHL protein causes accumulation and activation of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) which can be demonstrated in earliest stages of tumorigenesis and is followed by expression of VEGF, erythropoietin, ...
The Link Between Spinal Cord Stimulation and the Parasympathetic Nervous System in Patients With Failed Back Surgery Syndrome Vrije Universiteit Brussel
OBJECTIVES: In patients with chronic pain, a relative lower parasympathetic activity is suggested based on heart rate variability measurements. It is hypothesized that spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is able to influence the autonomic nervous system. The aim of this study is to further explore the influence of SCS on the autonomic nervous system by evaluating whether SCS is able to influence skin conductance, blood volume pulse, heart rate, and ...

Evidence of Nervous System Sensitization in Commonly Presenting and Persistent Painful Tendinopathies Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Study Design Systematic review. Objectives To elucidate if there is sensitization of the nervous system in those with persistent rotator cuff (shoulder), lateral elbow, patellar, and Achilles tendinopathies. Background Tendinopathy can be difficult to treat, and persistent intractable pain and dysfunction are frequent. It is hypothesized that induction or maintenance of persistent pain in tendinopathy may be, at least in part, based on ...
