Progressively invalidating orthostatic hypotension: A common symptom for a challenging diagnosis
We discuss here an uncommon condition of neurogenic hypotension in the context of immunoglobulin light chain (amyloid light-chain) amyloidosis. The most serious feature was autonomic nervous system impairment, mainly characterized by severe refractory ...

Underlying hemodynamic differences are associated with responses to tilt testing
Aim of this study was to explore whether differences in resting hemodynamic parameters may be associated with tilt test results in unexplained syncope. We analyzed age, gender, systolic (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and heart rate (HR) by merging

Interaction With Tilting Gestures In Ubiquitous Environments
In this paper, we introduce a tilting interface that controls direction based applications in ubiquitous environments. A tilt interface is useful for situations that require remote and quick interactions or that are executed in public spaces. We explored

Orientation illusions and after-effects : inhibition between channels [PDF]
-The apparent ilt from vertical has been examined for vertical sinusoidal gratings in the presence of an inducing grating which was tilted 12 ’ from vertical. The amount of apparent tilt depended on the contrast of the test grating.

Heart rate recovery and diastolic blood pressure ratio on the treadmill test predict an induction and recurrence of vasovagal syncope [PDF]
Background/Aims The induction and recurrence of syncope is a concerning situation that could be unpredicted in the vasovagal syncope (VVS). We investigated a simple predictor for the induced and recurrent VVS during Head-Up table-tilt Test (HUT) and ...

Head-up tilt test with clomipramine challenge in vasovagal syndrome—a new tilt testing protocol [PDF]
The aim of the study was to randomly compare clomipramine, used as a challenge-agent during head-up tilt test, with isoproterenol, used in the conventional test, in patients with vasovagal syndrome.The serotonergic re-uptake inhibitor clomipramine was infused (5mg in 5min) at the start of head-up tilt test (Clom-HUT) in 126 patients (mean age 41+/-16 ...
