: Doxorubicin (DOX), used in chemotherapeutic regimens in many cancers, has been known to induce, cardiotoxicity and life-threatening heart failure or acute coronary syndromes in some patients. We determined the role of Substance P (SP), a neuropeptide and its high affinity receptor, NK-1R in chemotherapy associated cardiotoxicity in mice. We determined if NK-1R antagonism will prevent DOX-induced cardiotoxicity in vivo.

Purpose: The clinical neurosensory testing (NST) is currently the reference standard for the diagnosis of traumatic and nontraumatic peripheral trigeminal neuropathies (PTNs), but exhibits both false-positive and false-negative results compared with surgical findings and frequently results in treatment decision delays. We tested the hypothesis that magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) of PTNs can serve as a diagnostic modality by correlating the NST, MRN, and surgical findings.

Materials And Methods: Sixty patients with traumatic and nontraumatic PTN of varying etiologies and Sunderland classifications underwent NST, followed by MRN using 1.
