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.

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 ...

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

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.

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
