Evaluation of sympathetic control of digital blood flow.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A noninvasive strain-gauge method of measuring blood flow in the digit was used to assess the influence of the sympathetic system in the digit. The sympathetic system was stimulated by the sudden application of ice to the neck, thus avoiding in the hand local reflexes and responses to cold. Seventeen normal subjects responded in similar fashion. Maximum flow reduction ranged from 26% to 92%, with a mean of 61%. This method should be useful diagnostically and for research when sympathetic reactivity, in contrast to basal sympathetic tone, needs to be determined.

Intracranial pressure (ICP) is one of most important factors in determining health and function of cerebroscular system. However the methods of measuring ICP are usually invasive . In an attempt to find a noninvasive method to assess ICP, in previous study web found a reverse relationships between changes in ICP and blood flow in scalp (SBF) and leg skin (LSBF) . In this study the role of sympa...

It has been shown that inflammation reduces the effectiveness of sympathetic nerves in the regulation of knee joint blood flow, and the joint vascular- ß adrenoceptors are changed due to acute inflammation from a majority of ß-1 to an equality of ß-1 and ß-2 receptors.. To investigate the role of sympathetic nerves in nerve induced vasoconstriction and changes in joint vascular ß-adrenoceptors ...
