Linking the Extended Autonomic System with the Homeostat Theory: New Perspectives about Dysautonomias. [PDF]
Dysautonomias are conditions in which altered functions of one or more components of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) adversely affect health. This essay is about how elucidating mechanisms of dysautonomias may rationalize personalized treatments ...

Parkinson's disease effect on autonomic modulation: an analysis using geometric indices [PDF]
Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) produces autonomic changes, indicating lower parasympathetic modulation and global variability, but these changes need further studying regarding geometric methods.

Contemporary management of pain in cirrhosis: Toward precision therapy for pain
Abstract Chronic pain is highly prevalent in patients with cirrhosis and is associated with poor health‐related quality of life and poor functional status. However, there is limited guidance on appropriate pain management in this population, and pharmacologic treatment can be harmful, leading to adverse outcomes, such as gastrointestinal bleeding ...

Cerebral dysautonomy as a clinical repercussion in children with traumatic brain injury
Introduction: Dysautonomia or Paroxysmal Sympathetic Hyperactivity (PSH) affects more than 50% of patients suffering from severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), which is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in children under 12 years.

Predominant Glandular Cholinergic Dysautonomia in Patients With Primary Sjögren's Syndrome [PDF]
ObjectiveThe autonomic nervous system (ANS) modulates exocrine gland function. Available data show poor correlation between the degree of function and destruction of the exocrine glands in primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS), suggesting that other mechanisms, such as autonomic dysfunction, may be important in these patients.

Peripheral neuropathy and dysautonomia in a patient with primary Sjoegren's syndrome.
A 46 year-old female presented with dry eyes and a dry mouth which she had been experiencing for about 15 years. She also began to notice dizziness (orthostatic hypotension) during the last 5 years. The symptoms gradually increased whereupon she began to have polyarthralgia, facial flashing, hyper and hyposweating in some areas on the face and trunk ...

Hypersensitivity to N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine in fibroblasts from patients with Huntington disease, familial dysautonomia, and other primary neuronal degenerations. [PDF]
Cells from patients with ataxia telangiectasia, a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by primary neuronal degeneration, are abnormally sensitive to the DNA-damaging chemical N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. We have conducted experiments to determine whether more common primary neuronal degenerations also have a hypersensitivity to this ...
