Autonomic Nervous System Testing

A utonomic nervous system testing is used to document diabetic autonomic failure. Diabetic autonomic failure is defined as impaired function of the peripheral autonomic nervous system and can be divided into two categories: 1) autonomic neuropathy, in which there is a structural lesion of the peripheral autonomic neuron and 2) functional autonomic failure, in which no known structural lesion oc...

Assessment of autonomic nervous system function in patients with non-alcoholic cirrhosis

Automatic dysfunction may contribute to the hemodynamic disturbances in cirrhosis. Tests of autonomic function were performed in 31 patients with non-alcoholic cirrhosis and 30 healthy subjects. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to child- Pugh,s classification ( A.B.C). The patients with moderate and severe cirrhosis( child B,C) had significant parasympathetic disturbance ( in the v...

Autonomic Nervous System Derangements

Despite these findings, mostly in the cardiac, esophageal and colon tissue 5,14,15, no correlation exists between the intensity of neuronal destruction and dilation of the heart or other microscopic indices of myocarditis in the chronic phase14. Histopathologic foci of damaged nervous tissue are found in a diffuse and irregular distribution. Neuronal parasitism, with periganglionitis and degene...
