Cerebrovascular regulation in preganglionic and postganglionic autonomic insufficiency.
Cerebrovascular Regulation in Preganglionic and Postganglionic Autonomic Insufficiency • Cerebral blood flow was measured in four subjects with chronic idiopathic autonomic insufficiency using 85 Kr inhalation, cerebral A-V samples for scintillation counting, and O;, content determination. Blood pressure was varied by up or down tilting and L-norepinephrine infusion. In three patients with typi...
متن کاملGanglionic mechanisms contribute to diminished vagal control in heart failure.
BACKGROUND Previous work has shown that spontaneous and stimulated vagal activity is diminished in heart failure (HF) despite upregulation of functional postsynaptic cholinergic mechanisms. We therefore examined function of the postganglionic neuron in the paced canine model of HF as a possible site for diminished control. METHODS AND RESULTS We measured sinus cycle length changes in response...
متن کاملHemodynamic and Neurohormonal Effects of Clonidine in Patients With Preganglionic and Postganglionic Sympathetic Lesions
Background. Clonidine, a partial presynaptic and postsynaptic a-adrenoceptor agonist, has been shown to lower blood pressure in normal subjects but not in tetraplegics; however, the mechanisms of this action have not been elucidated. Methods and Results. The hemodynamic and hormonal basis of the hypotensive action of clonidine was investigated in tetraplegics with complete cervical spinal cord ...
متن کاملdifferential diagnosis of organic acidemia: clinical and neuroimaging findings
clinical differential diagnosisthe organic acidemias are important in the differential diagnosis of metabolic and neurologic derangement in the neonate and of new-onset neurologic signs in the older child. a-organic aciduriaseveral disorders, not classified as primary disorders of organic acid metabolism, have a characteristic urinary organic acid profile that suggests the appropriate diagnosis...
متن کاملAfferent pupillary defect in pineal region tumour.
A patient is described in whom an afferent pupillary defect was an early sign of a tumour in the pineal region. It is suggested that this was due to involvement of the pupillary afferent fibres between the optic tract and pretectal nucleus contralateral to the affected pupil.
