Effects of Renal Denervation on Ouabain-Induced Hypertension in Rats by Minna Tang, Jialu Hu, Wenshu Li, Ningzhi Zhang, Sisi Ning, Yan Yan, Zhaoqiang Cui

“…Evidence suggests ouabain contributes to hypertension mainly through activation of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). Renal nerves play a vital role in the regulation of SNS activity, so we hypothesize that renal denervation may attenuate the development of ouabain-induced hypertension. …”

Pathogenesis of Disorders of the Motor Function of the Large Intestine in Functional Constipation by M. M. Galagudza, Yu. P. Uspensky, Yu. A. Fominykh, D. Yu. Butko

“…The main FC mechanisms associated with neurogenic dysregulation include impaired function of the gray and white matter of the brain, as well as an increase in the tone of the sympathetic nervous system with a concomitant decrease in the influence of cholinergic nerves innervating the large intestine. …”

Increase in blood pressure precedes distress behavior in nursing home residents with dementia. by Kenneth S Boockvar, Tianwen Huan, Kimberly Curyto, Sei Lee, Orna Intrator

“…<h4>Background</h4>Distress behaviors in dementia (DBD) likely increase sympathetic nervous system activity. The aim of this study was to examine the associations among DBD, blood pressure (BP), and intensity of antihypertensive treatment, in nursing home (NH) residents with dementia.…”

Changes in Hemodynamics and Tissue Oxygenation Saturation in the Brain and Skeletal Muscle Induced by Speech Therapy – A Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Study by U. Wolf, F. Scholkmann, R. Rosenberger, M. Wolf, M. Nelle

“…A probable reason is a different effect of recitations on the sympathetic nervous system. In conclusion, these changes show that AST has relevant effects on the hemodynamics and oxygenation of the brain and muscle.…”

Metabolic profile of blood serum in experimental arterial hypertension by A. A. Seryapina, A. A. Malyavko, Yu. K. Polityko, L. V. Yanshole, Yu. P. Tsentalovich, A. L. Markel

“…The etiology of essential hypertension is intricate, since it employs simultaneously various body systems related to the regulation of blood pressure in one way or another: the sympathetic nervous system, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal systems, renal and endothelial mechanisms. …”

Hematohidrosis in Pediatric Practice  – a Case Report and Review of the Literature by Oksana Matsyura, Lesya Besh, Svitlana Jefimova, Khrystyna Slivinska-Kurchak, Sergiy Gerasymov

“…One of the theories of hematohidrosis pathogenesis is evident vasoconstriction of the blood vessels surrounding the sweat glands, provoked by hyperactivation of the sympathetic nervous system, which is followed by their excessive vasodilation up to rupture and blood entering the sweat gland ducts. …”
