RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSdType 1 or 2 diabetic and healthy control subjects (n = 568) were randomly enrolled in a cross-sectional study. Diabetic neuropathy status was documented by the presence of clinical symptoms or signs, electromyography, quantitative sensory tests, and cardiac autonomic neuropathy tests. The severity of the neuropathy was staged by composite scores. Serum NSE was measur...

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...

Sudomotor dysfunction is a common finding, and one of the earliest detectable abnormalities, in a number of peripheral and autonomic neuropathies. However, clinicians can attest to the ongoing difficulty in diagnosing dysautonomia without the proper tools. Sudomotor function testing (SFT) as assessed with Quantitative Sudomotor Assessment Reflex Test (QSART) correlates well with Intraepidermal ...

OBJECTIVES To determine risk factors for sudden cardiac death and the role of diabetic autonomic neuropathy (DAN) in the Rochester diabetic neuropathy study (RDNS). METHODS Associations between diabetic and cardiovascular complications, including DAN, and the risk of sudden cardiac death were studied among 462 diabetic patients (151 type 1) enrolled in the RDNS. Medical records, death certifi...

This paper is devoted to empirical investigation of novel multi-level ensemble meta classifiers for the detection and monitoring of progression of cardiac autonomic neuropathy, CAN, in diabetes patients. Our experiments relied on an extensive database and concentrated on ensembles of ensembles, or multi-level meta classifiers, for the classification of cardiac autonomic neuropathy progression. ...

Our study was performed to determine whether cardiac autonomic neuropathy can predict deterioration of the renal function in normoalbuminuric, normotensive people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). One hundred and fifty-six normoalbuminuric, normotensive people with type 2 DM were included in our retrospective longitudinal study. We categorized normal patterns, early patterns, and definite or ...

We investigated the relation between diabetic autonomic neuropathy (DAN) and left ventricular (LV) function in 59 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) free of coronary artery disease (CAD) or hypertension. Diabetic autonomic neuropathy was established by ≥2 abnormal autonomic nervous function tests. Left ventricular systolic and diastolic functions were assessed by resting radionuclide...

1. The heart-rate response during sustained hand grip was studied in four normal subjects before and after intravenous atropine, propranolol and combined cardiac autonomic blockade with both drugs. The results suggest that the increase in heart rate during the first 30 s is due to parasympathetic withdrawal, whereas the further increase between 30 s and 180 s is probably mediated by a combinati...

Diabetic Autonomic neuropathy is serious complication that is causing mortality. The aim of this study is to provide detailed discussion related to different screening tools used for early detection of DAN which can be detected by the visual acuity parameters tracked by using LEDs of color blue, white, red and green which are continuously turned ON and OFF and with two different intensities 50m...
