Nervous tissue, also called neural tissue or nerve tissue, is the main tissue component of the nervous system. The nervous system regulates and controls bodily functions and activity and consists of two parts: the central nervous system (CNS) comprising the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) comprising the branching peripheral nerves. It is composed of neurons, or nerve cells, which receive and transmit impulses, and neuroglia, also known as glial cells or glia, which assist the propagation of the nerve impulse as well as provide nutrients to the neurons.
Methods of treatment using vaccine compositions
The invention relates to methods and compositions for preventing or treating a neuropathology in a subject associated with or induced or caused by a P. gingivalis infection, preventing the deposition of or reducing the level of P. gingivalis gingipain in neuronal tissue, delaying the onset of a P. gingivalis-induced or associated neuropathology, for preventing or slowing the rate of abnormal protein deposition in the neuronal tissue, and / or reducing neuroinflammation, the methods comprising administering an RNA polynucleotide encoding a protein comprising or consisting of: - one or more amino acid sequences of an active site of an Arg- or Lys-gingipain of P. gingivalis, or a sequence that is at least 80% identical thereto; and / or - the amino acid sequence of one or more adhesin binding motifs (ABMs) of an adhesin domain of an Arg- or Lys-gingipain of P. gingivalis, or a sequence that is at least 80% identical thereto, wherein the polynucleotide is capable of being translated in a mammalian cell.

Treatment of incontinence by targeted nerve stimulation
ActiveUS12636492B2Spinal electrodesMagnetotherapy using coils/electromagnetsLateral plantar nerveMedial plantar nerve
A method for treatment of incontinence by targeted nerve stimulation where a signal generator is provided to generate a stimulation signal to modulate a patient's voiding disorder having the symptoms of abnormal urgency, incontinence or retention. A stimulator targets a portion of the patient's nervous tissue where the nervous tissue may be the patient's saphenous nerve, the patient's lateral plantar nerve or the patient's medial plantar nerve. The stimulation signal is applied to the patient's nervous tissue to activate the nervous tissue in order to modulate the voiding disorder.
