Urethro-vesical dysfunction in progressive autonomic failure with multiple system atrophy.
Fourteen patients with progressive autonomic failure and multiple system atrophy have been investigated by urodynamic, electromyographic and neurohistochemical means and the results compared with a series of age-matched controls. Three fundamental abnormalities of lower urinary tract function have been identified: (1) Involuntary detrusor contractions in response to bladder filling. It is sugge...
متن کاملBladder dysfunction in distal autonomic neuropathy of acute onset.
A patient with cholinergic dysautonomia and a patient with pandysautonomia have each been investigated for disturbances of bladder and urethral function. Both patients suffered from an inability to develop or sustain a detrusor contraction, while retaining normal bladder sensation. Biopsy specimens of bladder muscle stained for acetylcholinesterase revealed a significant reduction in cholinergi...
متن کاملDiurnal blood pressure variation in progressive autonomic failure.
To investigate the role of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in the generation of the circadian blood pressure (BP) variation, the degree of impairment of the ANS was related to the results of ambulatory BP recordings in 212 patients with progressive autonomic failure due to familial amyloid polyneuropathy. On the basis of BP and/or heart rate (HR) responses to the Valsalva maneuver, 60 degree...
متن کاملAutonomic Dysfunction in Heart Failure and Renal Disease
In the methods paper presented by Reulecke et al. (2012), autonomic function is examined in healthy preterm neonates, applying HRV to cardiorespiratory data using non-linear methods. Reference HRV data is currently only available for adults (Taskforce, 1996), but through a complex series of analyses, Reulecke et al. (2012) show that while the relationship between heart rate and respiration in p...
متن کاملAutonomic dysfunction in uremia.
Autonomic nervous system dysfunction is a common feature in uremia and may have a number of clinical sequelae. Simple cardiovascular reflex screening can be performed in patients during conservative treatment, on periodic dialysis therapy, or after kidney transplantation to diagnose and follow up autonomic function impairment. Other approaches, such as heart-rate variability studies in the freq...
