Previously,it was suggested that biological maturation(BM)could be linked to cardiac autonomic recovery(CAR)in the pediatric population.However,this influence hasn’t been confirmed yet.Our aim was to investigate the ...
Background:Clonidine is a centrally acting a2 adrenergic and imidazoline-1 receptor agonist that can cause somnolence,bradycardia,and hypotension within several hours of ingestion.Less well-described but observed by u...
Background: The balance of autonomic nervous system activity and its relationship with body composition, sleep quality, and activities of daily living among older people is still unclear. Purpose: This comparative cas...
Smart homes present a serious challenge for the aged and those with mobility issues due to the environment’s inherent danger.Unwary people have the propensity to fall over when bending over in these settings.Here,the...
Sinus bradycardia is a common clinical problem with a population prevalence of approximately 4/1000.[1]Most patients are asymptomatic,but some patients experience symptoms such as fatigue,dizziness,exercise intoleranc...
Introduction: Autonomic nuclei affection results in variations in hemodynamics, temperature, sweating and ECG. Medullary strokes are challenging in their presentation, bizarre clinical signs, work and neurological out...
Background: The goal of this peer review is to outline the benefits of the TM Flow system and Lifeprobes Kiosk assessing the endothelial and autonomic system functions in the management of COVID-19 fo...
AIM:To evaluate the ocular outcomes and to elucidate possible mechanisms underlying intraocular pressure(IOP)change following the head-down tilt(HDT)test.METHODS:The study included 21 participants at the Department of...
