Purpose: The parasympathetic effects of the sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) on the cerebral vasculature provide a compelling rationale for its therapeutic application in cerebrovascular ischemia. In recent years, attempts have been made to stimulate the SPG to achieve beneficial effects on cerebral circulation.
Methods: This review synthesizes the available publications on SPG stimulation. It critically evaluates the evidence from preclinical studies and clinical trials to assess its potential as a treatment for acute cerebrovascular disorders and outlines aspects that still require more study.
Results: The medical literature provides consistent evidence of the significant effects of stimulating the SPG on cerebrovascular circulation. In addition, considerable evidence supports the therapeutic role of SPG stimulation in patients with cerebral ischemia.
Conclusion: Given the current understanding, future research could explore the potential of SPG stimulation as a non-reperfusion intervention to improve long-term outcomes for individuals with ischemic cerebrovascular conditions.

Article Synopsis
- * It is created by polymerizing AMB monomer with gelatin, crosslinking it, and embedding strontium titanate nanoparticles, resulting in a hydrogel with strong tissue adhesion and the ability to generate voltage and current through mechanical motion.
- * In trials with mice, the SPG hydrogel significantly expedited the healing process, reducing wound size and improving skin quality, indicating its potential as an innovative tool for electrotherapy in wound care.

Here we investigate its impact on the biogeochemistry of the South Pacific Gyre (SPG) using samples collected during the GEOTRACES cruise GP21 in February-April 2022. Surface water neodymium isotopes and rare earth element compositions showed a marked volcanic impact in the western SPG, potentially extending to the eastern region.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep-related breathing disorder that results in multiple bouts of intermittent hypoxia. OSA has many neurological and systemic comorbidities, including dysphagia, or disordered swallow, and discoordination with breathing. However, the mechanism in which chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) causes dysphagia is unknown.
