Data from 25 years of studies of the spinobulbospinal (SBS) reflex in normal conditions and in a variety of nervous system diseases with lesions of the afferent and efferent systems, subcortical brain formations, and musculature (contracture of the expressive muscles, myofascial pain syndrome) are presented. The instability of many characteristics of the reflex (latency, amplitude, duration of response, presence) is shown to characterize this reflex in normal conditions. These measures become more stable in central nervous system pathology, which is evidence for impairment of programs which construct and execute movements. Lesions of the peripheral neuromotor apparatus produced no significant changes in the characteristics of the SBS reflex.

A Study on Cough Sensitivity and Airway Inflammation in Patients with Sinobronchial Syndrome.
Can Respir J
October 2022
Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Tongji Hospital, School of Medicine, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China.
Objective: This study aimed to clarify the characteristics of cough-reflex sensitivity and airway inflammation in patients with sinobronchial syndrome (SBS).
Methods: 39 patients with SBS, 53 patients with upper airway cough syndrome (UACS) induced by rhinitis, 33 patients with chronic sinusitis without cough, and 39 healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled between January 2013 and December 2018. All participants underwent a capsaicin cough-sensitivity test and cytology of induced sputum.
The Antwerp Vestibular Compensation Index (AVeCI): an index for vestibular compensation estimation, based on functional balance performance.
Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol
June 2021
Department of Rehabilitation Sciences and Physiotherapy/Movant, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Antwerp, Universiteitsplein 1, 2610, Wilrijk, Belgium.
Purpose: To create an index that is a measure of the amount of vestibular compensation and for which only functional balance performance is needed.
Methods: The medical charts of 62 eligible peripheral vestibular dysfunction (PVD) patients were analyzed retrospectively. To be included, the following vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) and balance performance data had to be available: (1) caloric and sinusoidal harmonic acceleration test (SHA) and (2) standing balance sum-eyes closed (SBS-EC), Timed Up and Go Test and Dynamic Gait Index.
Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy and other complications in type 1 diabetes.
Clin Auton Res
June 2010
CHU Toulouse, University of Toulouse, Toulouse, France.
Objective And Methods: This study deals with cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) in type 1 diabetic patients and its association with other complications. We searched for CAN in 684 patients (age, 47 +/- 12 years; diabetes duration, 22 +/- 11 years) by cardiovascular responses to deep breathing and standing. Patients considered as positive had laboratory evaluation: "Ewing" tests (deep breathing, Valsalva, stand test, hand grip); heart rate variability (HRV) [low frequency (LF) and high frequency (HF) power] and spontaneous baroreflex slope (SBS).

J Am Diet Assoc
March 2010
Department of Pediatric Surgery, Erasmus MC-Sophia Children's Hospital, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
The optimal enteral feeding regimen in children with short-bowel syndrome (SBS) is debated by clinicians. The purpose of this article is to present an overview of published data on feeding strategies in children with SBS. A structured literature search (years 1966 through 2007) was done to identify human studies in children directly addressing nutrition (or specified nutrients) in relation to SBS.

J Neurophysiol

Department of Neuroscience, The Nobel Institute for Neurophysiology, Karolinska Institute, SE-17177, Stockholm, Sweden.
Two forms of undulatory locomotion in the lamprey (a lower vertebrate) have been described earlier: fast forward swimming (FFS) used for long distance migrations and slow backward swimming (SBS) used for escape from adverse tactile stimuli. In the present study, we describe another form of escape behavior: slow forward swimming (SFS). We characterize the kinematic and electromyographic patterns of SFS and compare them with SBS and FFS.
