25. Assessment of pupillary light reflex latency and darkness adapted pupil size in control subjects and in diabetic patients with and without cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy.
Increased pupillary light reflex latencies were found more often than a reduced darkness pupil size in diabetic patients with and without abnormal cardiovascular reflexes. This finding suggests that parasympathetic pupillary dysfunction precedes sympathetic pupillary denervation in diabetic autonomic neuropathy.

26. Idiopathic AA amyloidosis manifested by autonomic neuropathy, vestibulocochleopathy, and lattice corneal dystrophy.
A 69-year-old Japanese woman with non-familial amyloidosis had polyneuropathy and profound autonomic neuropathy, and kappa chain monoclonal gammopathy. Immunohistopathological examination showed protein AA and protein AP in the amyloid deposits. She showed involvement of the vestibulocochlear nerve and lattice dystrophy of the cornea. Vestibulocochleopathy a

27. Heart rate variability and cardiac autonomic function in men with chronic alcohol dependence.
Cardiac autonomic function was studied in 23 alcohol dependent men by standard tests of autonomic function and measurement of 24 hour heart rate variability. In all there was peripheral or central nervous system damage or both. Standard tests of autonomic function showed vagal neuropathy in seven. The remainder had normal autonomic function tests. Twenty fou

28. Autonomic neuropathy in systemic lupus erythematosus: cardiovascular autonomic function assessment.
AIM--To assess the prevalence and the nature of autonomic neuropathy (AN) in 17 patients with inactive or mild active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). METHODS--Patients were tested using questionnaires related to possible AN symptoms, and four non invasive cardiovascular autonomic function tests at rest, during lying to standing, and sustained handgrip. E

29. Mortality in alcoholics with autonomic neuropathy.
Seventy-nine male chronic alcoholics who had been tested for autonomic neuropathy using four tests of vagus nerve function were followed for up to 7 years (mean 5.5 years). Thirty-two subjects had no vagal neuropathy, 25 had one abnormal test and 22 had two or more abnormal vagal function tests and two of these also had orthostatic hypotension. There were no

30. Non-invasive assessment of left ventricular response to Valsalva manoeuvre in normal and diabetic subjects using praecordial accelerocardiography.
The left ventricular response to the Valsalva manoeuvre was studied in 5 normal subjects (group 1), 6 diabetics without autonomic neuropathy (group 2), and 5 diabetics with autonomic neuropathy (group 3), using the maximum amplitude of the praecordial accelerocardiogram (DE) as a noninvasive index of left ventricular performance. During the Valsalva manoeuvr

32. 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

36. Diabetic gastroparesis from autonomic neuropathy: surgical considerations and changes in vagus nerve morphology.
Two cases with intractable vomiting due to gastroparesis, a rare feature of diabetic autonomic neuropathy, are described. Both required surgical treatment. In the first a gastroenterostomy was complicated by reflux gastritis requiring a revision operation; in the second a gastrojejunostomy was successful. Electron microscopic studies of the vagus nerve in on
