The role of neuron numbers of the petrosal ganglion in the determination of blood pressure: an experimental study.

Minim Invasive Neurosurg 49(6):359-61 (2006) PMID 17323264

Baroreceptor reflexes are regulated by nerve terminals of the glossopharyngeal and vagal nerves. The body of pressure-sensitive neurons of these nerves is located in the petrosal ganglion of both nerves. We examined whether there is a relationship between the neuron numbers of the inferior ganglion of the glossopharyngeal nerve and blood pressure values.

    A total of 1208 positive BACTEC vials were examined for the presence or absence of serpentine cording. A very high (92.9%) rate of laboratory prevalence was obtained for Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of this test were 92.7%,...
