| | Inflammation-Induced Plasticity of the Afferent Innervation of the Airways |
 | | Axonal transport of neurotrophins by visceral afferent and efferent neurons of the vagus nerve of the rat. | | | These stimuli evoke action potentials at the peripheral terminals of afferent neurons that are conducted to the central nervous system, therein causing release of neurotransmitters that excite secondary neurons in the brain stem or spinal cord, leading to homeostatic and defensive reflexes. | | | It is reasonable to speculate that the release of tachykinins from non-nociceptive afferent neurons that innervate the airways will influence the excitability of synaptic transmission in the central nervous system, such that the stimulation of these mechanically sensitive neurons may lead to exaggerated reflex responses to innocuous stimuli. |

| | eMedicine - Afferent Loop Syndrome : Article by Elizabeth M Sawyer, MD, CPT, MC |
| | The condition is a purely mechanical complication consisting of varying degrees of obstruction of the afferent loop and does not resolve without surgery. | | | If the afferent loop is not decompressed, the patient becomes acutely ill and can subsequently develop peritonitis and shock if intestinal perforation or infarction ensues. | | | Bushkin and Woodward reported an equal incidence of ALS in patients with short, retrocolic afferent limbs. |

| | RIEDC - - NEWS: Afferent SBIR Grant |
| | Afferent Corporation, based in Providence, Rhode Island, is pioneering the development of a new class of medical devices to treat chronic neurological dysfunction. | | | Richard L. Harvey, M.D., Medical Director of the Center for Stroke Rehabilitation of RIC said, "Loss of sensorimotor function is one of the most persistent problems facing individuals who have had a stroke, and presents one of the biggest challenges to the clinicians who treat them. | | | Our early experience with Afferent's technology, along with evidence from other studies, leads us to expect that this adjunct to therapy may be able to provide enhanced ability to recover motor abilities after stroke." |

| | afferent pupillary defect - multiple sclerosis encyclopaedia |
| | The reasons why afferent pupillary defect occurs with optic neuritis are complicated and involve the neuroanatomy of the visual pathways. | | | Afferent Pupillary Defect (APD) or Marcus-Gunn pupil is a condition of the eye where the pupil doesn't dilate appropriately to the level of light reaching it. | | | Put simplistically, the eye in which the ON has occurred acts as if it is in a lower light situation than it really is and dilates more so that it can let more light hit the retina. |

| | The ability to process libraries can be a key factor in getting a new drug to market in a timely, cost-effective manner. | | | The object model defines the kinds of objects Afferent can store and the internal and external representations of these objects. | | | Another benefit of writing the Afferent applications in Lisp is the ability to rapidly evolve the code base, and even generate new applications. |

| | Online client management system by Afferent Media in Sydney NSW Australia |
| | This is quite different however from occasionally communicating with your established client base, or with people who request (opt-in) to a newsletter. | | | Afferent Media has therefore designed a client management system that allows messages to be formatted and distributed to those people that have specifically agreed to receive mail, and allows easy management of the list so any members that ask to be removed can be deleted rapidly. | | | Inappropriate use of a mailing system is subject to heavy fines under the new laws, and Afferent Media would immediately suspend this facility from any client using it inappropriately. |
