Syncopal attacks in children: Is it cardiac or epilepsy related?
Transient loss of consciousness (TLOC) may be mistaken for other disorders like epilepsy. Our objectives were to identify symptoms that could help differentiate epilepsy from syncope among children with TLOC and to validate previously suggested criteria.

Observational case series describing features of cardiopulmonary exercise testing in Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS)
Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS) is a chronic condition often affecting multiple systems with varied presenting symptoms. Diagnosis is made by demonstrating cardiovascular criteria on standing along with clinical assessment. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing has been used to demonstrate and characterise the physiological response to exercise and the severity of the syndrome. Previous studies on exercise testing in these patients have focussed on cardiovascular changes alone. This series characterises the integrated cardiac and respiratory response to exercise seen with cardiopulmonary exercise testing. (Source: Autonomi...

Systemic and cerebral circulatory adjustment within the first 60  s after active standing: An integrative physiological view
Transient cardiovascular and cerebrovascular responses within the first minute of active standing provide the means to assess autonomic, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular regulation using a real-world everyday stimulus. Traditionally, these responses have been used to detect autonomic dysfunction, and to identify the hemodynamic correlates of patient symptoms and attributable causes of (pre)syncope and falls.This review addresses the physiology of systemic and cerebrovascular adjustment within the first 60  s after active standing.

Corrigendum to “Exaggerated potassium current reduction by oxytocin in visceral sensory neurons following chronic intermittent hypoxia” [Auton Neurosci. 229 2020 Sep 28 102735]
During publication of our manuscript, the OTR antibody (Abcam, ab181077) used in the immunoblots in Fig. 2B was discontinued. The rationale for its use and antibody specificity follows. (Source: Autonomic Neuroscience: Basic and Clinical)

Protective effects of quercetin-loaded microcapsules on the enteric nervous system of diabetic rats
Quercetin-loaded microcapsules (QLM) promote controlled release and higher bioavailability of quercetin, an antioxidant and neuroprotective agent. We evaluated the antioxidant effect of QLM on enteric innervation and in the oxidative status of the ileum of diabetic rats. Wistar adult rats (Rattus norvegicus) were used in six groups containing normoglycemic (N), diabetic (D) and either normoglycemic or diabetic groups treated with QLM at a dose of 10  mg/kg (NQ10 and DQ10, respectively) or 100 mg/kg (NQ100 and DQ100, respectively).

Using a radiopaque marker with radiography for evaluating colonic transit by geometric center in conscious rats: A novel method
This study developed a new method using radiopaque markers under X-ray to measure rat colonic transit by geometric center repeatedly and/or over a time series in the same individually. Additionally, the utility of this method was shown by elucidating the innervation of the autonomic nerve on colonic transit in detail with a pharmacological technique in conscious rats.An in-dwelling silastic cannula was inserted into the cecum and the proximal part was moved through the abdominal wall, where it was fixed to the posterior neck skin.

Cardioprotective effects of acute sleep deprivation on ischemia/reperfusion injury
Modulation of sympathetic activity during acute sleep deprivation can produce various effects on body functions. We studied the effects of acute sleep deprivation before ischemia/reperfusion on myocardial injury in isolated rat hearts, and the role of sympathetic nervous system that may mediate these sleep deprivation induced effects.

Purinergic receptor antagonism: A viable strategy for the management of autonomic dysreflexia?
The purinergic receptor ligand, ATP, may participate in reflex induced vasoconstriction through sympathetic efferent and sensory afferent mechanisms. However, the role of the purinergic system in contributing to autonomic dysreflexia following spinal cord injury is unclear. The present study investigates the involvement of P2X receptors in contributing to pressor responses during autonomic dysreflexia. Twenty rats were subjected to spinal cord injury and 24  h later hemodynamic responses to colorectal distension were recorded. (Source: Autonomic Neuroscience: Basic and Clinical)
