A comparative study of cardiac dysautonomia in autosomal dominant spinocerebellar ataxias and idiopathic sporadic ataxias.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: Comparative evaluation of cardiac dysautonomia in spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) and idiopathic sporadic ataxias (IA) not fulfilling the criteria of multiple system atrophy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Cardiac autonomic functions were evaluated ... Read more...

Plexitis as a predictive factor of early postoperative clinical recurrence in Crohn's disease.

19 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND AND AIMS: A previous study suggested that the presence of myenteric plexitis in the proximal resection margins could be predictive of early endoscopic recurrence after ileocolonic or ileal resection for Crohn's disease (CD). The aim of ... Read more...

Evaluation of autonomic malfunction in HTLV-1 associated myelopathy (HAM).

21 Jun 2009 HTLV-1 associated myelopathy (HAM) has been known to reveal various clinical manifestations of autonomic dysfunction; thus the focus of the present study was to investigate whether or not thoracic spinal cord injury frequently observed in HAM ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Autonomic Nervous System Diseases'

Definition: Diseases of the parasympathetic or sympathetic divisions of the AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM; which has components located in the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM and PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. Autonomic dysfunction may be associated with HYPOTHALAMIC DISEASES; BRAIN STEM disorders; SPINAL CORD DISEASES; and PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES. Manifestations include impairments of vegetative functions including the maintenance of BLOOD PRESSURE; HEART RATE; pupil function; SWEATING; REPRODUCTIVE AND URINARY PHYSIOLOGY; and DIGESTION.
