Markers of Prognosis in Neurodegenerative Dementia
… time of MMSE 17±1. III. Patients with persistent orthostatic hypotension exhibited shorter length-of-survival compared to patients with no or mild orthostatic hypotension. Patients with constipation and / or urinary incontinence, in addition to persistent orthostatic hypotension, had the shortest …

Cerebrale Blutflussregulation bei orthostatischer Hypotension im Rahmen des Morbus Parkinson
As recent publications indicate, the orthostatic hypotension in patients with Parkinson's disease has a high prevalence of up to 50.3%. While this phenomenon in the past was attributed to a side effect of Parkinson's medication, studies now have shown that a disease-associated disruption of …

Principal component based system identification and its application to the study of cardiovascular regulation
… microgravity on cardiac autonomic control and orthostatic intolerance (OI). Experimental data from a prolonged bed rest study (simulation of microgravity condition) are analyzed and the conclusions are: 1) prolonged bed rest may impair autonomic control of heart rate; 2) orthostatic intolerance …

Peripheral and Central Muscarinic Cholinergic Receptors in Arterial Blood Pressure Regulation
… dysfunction. During the onset of LBNP -40 too, orthostatic hypotension (OH) was observed in both the older subjects and the post-blockade younger subjects, with a diminished HR response. Furthermore, the reflex response to hypertensive stimuli was augmented in the post-blockade younger subjects, …

System identification of dynamic closed-loop cardiovascular control of total peripheral resistance by arterial and cardiopulmonary baroreceptors
… (CO) and arterial blood pressure (Pa) against orthostatic stress during re-entry and in the post-flight period. To date, available countermeasures have not been able to eliminate the observed orthostatic hypotension. The mechanisms responsible for the observed orthostatic intolerance are not …

Exploration of the hydration habits, morning balance, and morning blood pressure of institutionalized older adults
… mm Hg ± 24.47 SD) and possible dehydration. Orthostatic hypotension (OH) occurred in the early morning for 21% participants using modified cutoff scores and 10% per traditional scoring and in 19% participants after breakfast regardless of OH cutoff score. The participants had relatively …

Intervention en téléréadaptation et caractérisation de la dysautonomie cardiovasculaire dans la maladie de Parkinson
… were contacted, of whom 16 underwent an active orthostatic hypotension (OH) test to detect CD (OH and/or supine hypertension-SH). Characterization was further complemented by heart rate variability (HRV) testing, galvanic skin response (GSR) and self-reported symptom questionnaires. Participants …

A randomised controlled feasibility trial to investigate the effects of a functional standing frame programme versus usual physiotherapy to improve function and quality of life and reduce neuromuscular impairment in people with severe sub-acute stroke
… been investigated in people with severe stroke. Orthostatic hypotension (OH) may limit rehabilitation, therefore, the effects of undertaking prolonged standing and sit to stand repetitions (functional standing frame programme) early after severe stroke during inpatient sub-acute rehabilitation is …
