Diseases of the autonomic nervous system
2010The autonomic nervous system innervates all organs, producing predominantly involuntary and automatic actions that are mediated by two principal efferent pathways, the sympathetic and parasympathetic, which are neurochemically and anatomically distinct.

Neuropathology of Autonomic Nervous System in Parkinson's Disease
European Neurology, 1997Lewy body formation has been considered to be a marker for neuronal degeneration, because postmortem studies of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients have shown loss of neurons in the predilection sites for Lewy bodies. We systemically studied the autonomic nervous system in patients with PD.

Autonomic nervous system dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease
Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2003Autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction is common in Parkinson's disease (PD), affects 70% to 80% of patients, and causes significant morbidity and discomfort. Autonomic nervous system dysfunction symptoms in PD include sexual dysfunction, swallowing and gastrointestinal disorders, bowel and bladder abnormalities, sleep disturbances, and ...

Aging, disease and the autonomic nervous system
Reviews in Clinical Gerontology, 1997Autonomic disorders in old age can be attributed to several main features associated with aging: the intrinsic neurobiological changes that occur with age, degenerative changes in effector organs innervated by autonomic nerves, and secondary involvement of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in disease processes. As in most areas of clinical geriatrics,

Autonomic Nervous System Disorders in Parkinson’s Disease
European Neurology, 1991This paper gives a review on the clinical features of autonomic failure which occur in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD), mainly based on the recent publications, especially from Japan. In 1817, James Parkinson already mentioned bowel and bladder dysfunctions in his original article.

The importance of the autonomic nervous system in health and disease*
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Medicine, 1997AbstractBaroreceptor control of the circulation is now generally thought to be concerned only with short term buffering of changes in arterial pressure, rather than with long term setting of pressure levels. This paper reviews evidence to the contrary, which suggests that impairment of the baroreflex, either by local changes in the carotid sinus or by ...

Autonomic nervous system involvement in sickle cell disease
Clinical Hemorheology and Microcirculation, 2018Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic disorder of hemoglobin producing hemoglobin-S (HbS) and resulting in recurrent severe episodes of pain, organ damage and premature death due to vaso- occlusion. Deoxy HbS polymerizes, causing red cells to become rigid and lodge in the microvasculature if they do not escape into larger vessels before this ...

Depression, the Autonomic Nervous System, and Coronary Heart Disease
Psychosomatic Medicine, 2005Depression is a risk factor for medical morbidity and mortality in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) may explain why depressed patients are at increased risk. Studies of medically well, depressed psychiatric patients have found elevated levels of plasma catecholamines and other markers of ...

Sleep, sleep deprivation, autonomic nervous system and cardiovascular diseases
Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2017Sleep deprivation (SD) has become a relevant health problem in modern societies. We can be sleep deprived due to lifestyle habits or due to sleep disorders, such as insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and neurological disorders. One of the common element of sleep disorders is the condition of chronic SD, which has complex biological consequences ...

Autonomic Nervous System Involvement in Beh??et??s Disease
Journal of Neuro-Ophthalmology, 1998The aim of this study was to elucidate whether autonomic nervous system dysfunction exists in patients with Behçet's disease by pupillometric tests. Thirty-one patients with Behçet's disease with a mean age of 41.3 years (range 21-64) and 41 control subjects with a mean age of 39.5 years (range 18-66) were selected for the study.
