Description:
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.

- " To test for sympathetic and adrenomedullary inhibition of leptin release, we studied clinical models of high sympathetic tone, heart failure, and essential hypertension, in which lowered plasma leptin levels might have been expected but were not found; a model of low sympathetic activity, pure autonomic failure, in which plasma leptin level was normal (6.1+/-1.2 vs 12.8+/-3.1 ng/mL in healthy subjects); and a clinical model of reduced epinephrine secretion, healthy aging, in which plasma leptin level again was normal (5.7+/-1.1 ng/mL vs 4.0+/-0.9 ng/mL in men >60 years and <35 years, respectively)" 01/01/1997
- " Recent studies of the hyperadrenergic (elevated plasma norepinephrine) subgroup of orthostatic intolerance is documenting a clinical spectrum including attenuated plasma renin activity and aldosterone, reduced supine blood volume coupled with dynamic orthostatic hypovolemia, elevated plasma norepinephrine and epinephrine, impaired clearance of norepinephrine from the circulation and evidence of partial dysautonomia"

- " Fourth, in the current era, most of the disability of advancing PD is from involvement of nondopaminergic systems, including levodopa-refractory motor symptoms, dementia, and dysautonomia" 10/01/1990
- " PET findings for the 10 MSA patients were compared with those for 13 age-matched controls, 8 subjects with L-dopa responsive Parkinson's disease (PD), and 7 subjects with pure autonomic failure (PAF)" 08/01/2006
- " While these and other motor signs typically improve with levodopa, the so-called axial signs, such as dysarthria, dysphagia, postural instability and freezing, and most nonmotor signs, such as depression, cognitive decline and dysautonomia, usually do not respond satisfactorily to levodopa" 09/05/2000
- " PATIENTS: 29 patients with Parkinson disease (9 with sympathetic neurocirculatory failure, 10 who had stopped receiving or had never been treated with L-dopa), 24 patients with multiple-system atrophy (17 with sympathetic neurocirculatory failure, 8 receiving L-dopa), 7 patients with pure autonomic failure, 33 controls with episodic or persistent orthostatic intolerance without sympathetic neurocirculatory failure, and 19 normal volunteers" 01/01/1998
- " The best, still not perfect, accuracy for this set of diagnostic criteria was obtained when six out of eight features (sporadic adult onset, dysautonomia, parkinsonism, pyramidal signs, cerebellar signs, no levodopa response, no cognitive dysfunction, or no downward gaze supranuclear palsy) were present (median sensitivity, 59%; range, 50-75%; positive predictive value: 67%, 53-83%)"

- " Within the framework of a prospective study, evaluating the efficacy of continuous intrathecal Baclofen therapy (CIBT) on hypertonia during the initial recovery phase of severe head injury, the authors report on the preliminary results of this treatment on paroxysmal dysautonomia about four patients" 10/01/2001
- " Dysautonomia syndrome in the acute recovery phase after traumatic brain injury: relief with intrathecal Baclofen therapy." 01/01/2008
- " These syndromes include Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome, Serotonin Syndrome, Dysautonomia (or paroxysmal sympathetic storms) following acquired brain injury, Autonomic Dysreflexia, Parkinsonian-Hyperpyrexia Syndrome, Malignant Catatonia, intrathecal baclofen withdrawal, Malignant Hyperthermia, Stiff Man Syndrome and Irukandji Syndrome" 12/01/2002
- " Dysautonomia is difficult to manage and requires therapy with benzodiazepines, morphine, magnesium sulphate, adrenergic blockers and recently tried baclofen therapy"

- " Patients requiring ventilator support were more likely to have dysautonomia (P = 0.0009)" 09/01/1997
- " The objective of this study was to determine associations between early variables (requirement for ventilator support, anemia, indicators of abnormal peripheral nerve function (proprioception, vibratory, fine touch/pinprick, deep-tendon reflexes, cranial nerve involvement, dysautonomia, electrodiagnostic findings), plasmapheresis, age, and gender) and outcome variables (length of acute hospitalization, length of inpatient rehabilitation, Functional Independence Measure (FIM) Rasch converted scores, and acute and rehabilitation charges) in Guillain Barré Syndrome (GBS)"
