High impact information on Autonomic Nervous System Diseases

  • CONCLUSIONS: Seropositivity for antibodies that bind to or block ganglionic acetylcholine receptors identifies patients with various forms of autoimmune autonomic neuropathy and distinguishes these disorders from other types of dysautonomia [9].
  • We examined sympathetic innervation of the heart in patients with acquired, idiopathic dysautonomias using thoracic positron-emission tomography and assessments of the entry rate of the sympathetic neurotransmitter norepinephrine into the cardiac venous drainage (cardiac norepinephrine spillover) [10].
  • METHODS: Clonidine is a centrally active alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist that raises concentrations of GH in serum in healthy people and those with pure autonomic failure (with peripheral lesions), but not in those with MSA (with a central autonomic deficit) [2].
  • The role of this growth factor in dysautonomia has been difficult to resolve as there is no known source of authentic human beta-NGF [11].
  • Dystrophic neurites containing neuropeptide Y occur in human sympathetic ganglia during aging, diabetes, and dysautonomia [12].

Gene context of Autonomic Nervous System Diseases

  • Linkage analysis excluded a role for NGFR in this disease with odds of greater than 10(6):1 against the dysautonomia gene being within 1 centiMorgan of the mutation [26].
  • In addition, no DBH mutation was found that distinguished autonomic disease patients from controls, suggesting that genetic variants of the DBH gene are not associated with the autonomic diseases OI, PAF, and MSA [27].
  • Disorders of the autonomic nervous system: Part 2. Investigation and treatment [28].
  • We evaluated cardiovascular responses to autonomic stimuli in 118 patients with symptoms of dysautonomia, 78 of whom had MVP, and 40 of whom did not, to determine if unique patterns of these responses distinguished patients in one symptomatic subgroup from another [29].
  • Identification of a renin threshold and its relationship to salt intake in a patient with pure autonomic failure [30].
