Abnormalities of the acoustic reflex in multiple sclerosis

American Journal of Otolaryngology, 1986
Acoustic reflect morphology was examined in 122 patients with a diagnosis of definite multiple sclerosis. Abnormality in some dimension of acoustic reflex morphology was observed in 75 per cent of the study population. The most commonly observed abnormality was an alteration in one or more of the three relative amplitude indices (afferent, efferent, or

Blink reflex abnormalities in diabetes mellitus

Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews, 2001
AbstractBackgroundDamage of the peripheral nervous system is particularly frequent in diabetes mellitus (DM), but somatic cranial neuropathies usually presenting as mononeuropathies are rare. Oculomotor and facial nerves are among the most commonly affected, whereas the Vth, IXth and Xth cranial nerves are less often affected.

Abnormal Swallowing Reflex and COPD Exacerbations

Chest, 2010
It is unclear whether an abnormal swallowing reflex affects COPD exacerbations. This study investigated the prevalence of abnormal swallowing reflexes and its relationship with COPD exacerbation prospectively. We also clarified its association with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and airway bacterial colonization.Swallowing reflex and serum C ...

Blink reflex abnormalities in Tourette syndrome

Clinical Neurophysiology, 2004
Tourette syndrome (TS) is a not uncommon disorder which represents the most complex manifestation of the spectrum of tic disorders, with onset during childhood or early adolescence. There are no definitive tests for diagnosis of TS. The objective of this study has been to demonstrate whether neurophysiological abnormalities of the blink reflex can be ...

Masseter reflex and blink reflex abnormalities in Chiari II malformation

Muscle & Nerve, 2001
Masseter reflex and blink reflex were evaluated in 64 patients with a myelomeningocele and Chiari II malformation. In 46 patients, no brainstem signs or symptoms were present. Brainstem dysfunction related to Chiari II malformation occurred in 18 patients. The masseter reflex was more frequently abnormal in the symptomatic than asymptomatic patients (P

Adductor T reflex abnormalities in patients with decreased patellar reflexes

Muscle & Nerve, 2009
AbstractThe adductor reflex (AR) is a tendon reflex that has various features that differ from other tendon reflexes. This reflex was tested in different disorders presenting with diminished patellar reflexes such as diabetic lumbosacral radiculoplexus neuropathy (DLRPN), L2–L4 radiculopathy, and distal symmetric diabetic neuropathy (diabetic PNP). The

Stapedius Reflex Abnormalities in Multiple Sclerosis

International Journal of Audiology, 1975
Thirteen patients suffering from multiple sclerosis were analyzed by a Madsen ZO 70 electroacoustic bridge connected to an electronystagmograph through an impedance adaptor. Threshold, amplitude, decay and difference limen of intensity (DLI) of the stapedius reflex were examined for the frequencies 500, 1 000, 2 000 and 4 000 Hz. The difference between

Abnormalities of the blink reflex in burning mouth syndrome

Pain, 1997
To our knowledge, this is the first report on pain-related abnormalities of the eye blink reflex (BR) in a clinical pain patient population. The objective of this study was to evaluate the possible neuropathic mechanisms underlying the burning mouth syndrome (BMS), by means of objective electrophysiological examination of the trigemino-facial system ...

An Abnormal Reflex Sign

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1966
To the Editor: In 1959 Dr. A. Diakiogiannis of Thessalonica reported an abnormal reflex sign which I believe is of significant diagnostic value. The reflex is attributed to damage of the pyramidal tracts at the spinal cord level. The sign can be elicited by lightly scratching the skin along the outer border of the tibia then down the dorsum of the ...

External Sphincter Dyssynergia: An Abnormal Continence Reflex

Journal of Urology, 1988
Some of the characteristics of detrusor-external sphincter dyssynergia were examined in 14 patients with traumatic upper motor neuron lesions within 44 weeks of injury. The sacral evoked response latencies of the male patients were shortened at any time after injury.
