In the case of diabetic autonomic neuropathy, it is due to the failure of the heart and arteries to appropriately adjust heart rate and vascular tone to keep blood continually and fully flowing to the brain.

Orgasm is a reflex of the autonomic nervous system.

Carbamazepine (Tegretol) is effective but not necessarily safe for diabetic neuropathy.

Diabetes is the leading known cause of neuropathy in developed countries, and neuropathy is the most common complication and greatest source of morbidity and mortality in diabetes patients.

It is estimated that the prevalence of neuropathy in diabetes patients is approximately 20 .

The adrenal medullary cells are controlled by the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system.

And then the message cascades into the amygdala, and then goes down the autonomic nervous system.

Cluster headache belongs to a group of primary headache disorders, classified as the trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias or (TACs).

This can mean a loss or impairment in controlling bowel and bladder, sexual function, digestion, breathing and other autonomic functions.

So if the amygdala is excited, and this is something important, the messages then cascade into the autonomic nervous system.

Its first metabolite, oxcarbazepine, is both safe and effective in other neuropathic disorders, but has not been studied in diabetic neuropathy.

Radiculopathy refers to a set of conditions in which one or more nerves are affected and do not work properly (a neuropathy).

Additional tests Further diagnostic tests of affected organs may be required, such as nerve conduction studies for neuropathy or an ultrasound of the liver.

In fact, these adrenal medullary cells are modified postganglionic neurons, and preganglionic autonomic nerve fibers lead to them directly from the central nervous system.

54. A recent example of this relates to imports designed to counteract the effects of the outbreak of the disease known as quot epidemic neuropathy quot .

History Sympathectomy developed in the mid 19th century, when it was learned that the autonomic nervous system runs to almost every organ, gland and muscle system in the body.

In the DCCT (Diabetes Control and Complications Trial, 1995) study, the annual incidence of neuropathy was 2 per year, but dropped to 0.56 with intensive treatment of Type 1 diabetics.

Many chemical mediators are involved, including cortisol and adrenalin from the adrenal glands, other hormones and neurotransmitters (such as serotonin and noradrenalin), and responses from the autonomic and immune systems.

A variety of medications may be administered, with the overall aim of ensuring sleep, amnesia, analgesia, relaxation of skeletal muscles, and loss of control of reflexes of the autonomic nervous system.

Injury to the optic nerve can be the result of congenital or inheritable problems like Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy, glaucoma, trauma, toxicity, inflammation, ischemia, infection (very rarely), or compression from tumors or aneurysms.

By far, the three most common injuries to the optic nerve are from glaucoma, optic neuritis (especially in those younger than 50 years of age), and anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (usually in those older than 50).

For example, in two Northern Provinces, there have been serious food shortages crises, caused by tropical neuropathy (due to consumption of bitter cassava, improperly processed) by people with deficient nutritional state, specifically those with protein deficiency.

It is via those nerves of the autonomic nervous system that the brain is able to make adjustments in the body in response to changing conditions in the environment, fluctuating emotional states, level of exercise, and other factors to maintain the body's homeostasis.
