Sudomotor dysfunction in autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy.

Nov 2009 BACKGROUND: Autoimmune autonomic ganglionopathy is characterized by impairment of multiple autonomic domains of which sudomotor function is among the most common. Many patients with this disorder have difficulties with thermoregulation and ... Read more...

Early progression of the autonomic dysfunction observed in pediatric type 1 diabetes mellitus.

3 Oct 2009 To focus on early cardiac and vascular autonomic dysfunction that might complicate type 1 diabetes mellitus in children, we planned an observational, cross-sectional study in a population of 93 young patients, under insulin treatment, subdivided in ... Read more...

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...

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.
