Parasympathetic denervation of the iris in alcoholics with vagal neuropathy.
Parasympathetic innervation of the pupil was studied in 30 alcoholics. Twelve alcoholics had cardiac vagal neuropathy. The resting pupillary diameters in this group were larger, and pupil responses to methacholine were greater, than in control subjects or alcoholics without vagal neuropathy. These observations imply that lesions in the parasympathetic supply to the pupil may occur in alcoholics...
متن کاملSympathetic and parasympathetic neuropathy are frequent in both type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of sympathetic versus parasympathetic neuropathy among type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS There were 43 patients with type 1 and 17 with type 2 diabetes who were investigated. Sympathetic nerve function was assessed by measurement of the vasoconstriction (VAC) index by laser Doppler perfusion imaging o...
متن کاملLVH: consequences associated with cardiac remodeling.
With increased hemodynamic stress, the heart must adjust to meet the greater demands placed upon it. This adjustment frequently involves an alteration or remodeling in its structure or geometry, which augments its performance and helps to maintain adequate function under changing conditions. One of the most important forms of remodeling that the heart may undergo is an increase in muscle mass i...
متن کاملAssociation between cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy and left ventricular hypertrophy in diabetic haemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Patients with diabetic nephropathy are likely to have neurological complications including cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction, which is related to increased risk of mortality. We investigated whether cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy is associated with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in diabetic haemodialysis patients. METHODS Holter electrocardiography was carried out for 2...
متن کاملQigong, Parasympathetic Function and Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia (FM) is characterized by widespread pain and multiple other symptoms; underlying mechanisms include central sensitization, dysregulation of the stress response system, and autonomic nervous system dysregulation. Alterations in the sympathetic nervous system have been variably implicated, but a reduction in parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) activity is now becoming more clearly i...
