In multiple system atrophy (MSA), parkinsonism and a cerebellar syndrome are associated with autonomic dysfunction. Both bladder neck dysfunction and external sphincter denervation have been implicated in detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia. However, urethral dysfunction may not be adequately reflected by a single global measurement of urethral pressure.

Materials And Methods: Electromyographic recordings were made from pre-gelled disposable surface electrodes.
Stroke hemiplegia and specular image: lessons from self-portraits.

Article Synopsis
- Hemiplegic patients struggle with self-awareness due to neurological and psychological issues related to body image, impacting their identity.
- A study analyzed 308 self-portraits from stroke patients with left and right brain injuries, finding three main types: complete, clothed self-portraits from healthy individuals, partially incomplete portraits typically from those with speech disorders, and inclined portraits with unilateral omissions mainly from right brain patients.
- The findings suggest that while body image may still be structured for some brain-injured individuals, right brain lesions can lead to fragmentation of the self-image and cognitive deficiencies.
Objective: To evaluate clinical prognostic factors of complex regional pain syndrome type I (CRPS I) in patients with stroke in an attempt to improve the Perrigot score, which does not include shoulder subluxation, unilateral neglect, or depression.
Design: This was a prospective study. The initial clinical data (first month) included motor index, Ashworth scale, de Bats score for shoulder subluxation, Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale, and sensory disorders evaluation.
