Autonomic dysfunctions are a major challenge to individuals following spinal cord injury. Despite this, these consequences receive far less attention compared with motor recovery. This review will highlight the major autonomic dysfunctions following SCI predominantly based on our present understanding of the anatomy and physiology of autonomic control and available clinical data.

Acute transverse myelitis (ATM) is a neurological disorder characterized by inflammation of the spinal cord, often resulting in sensory, motor, and autonomic dysfunction. Herein, we present a unique case of acute transverse myelitis secondary to hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection complicating infective endocarditis (IE), a rarely reported association. A 29-year-old female presented with progressive lower extremity weakness, urinary retention, and sensory disturbances.

Aims: Heart failure (HF) is an emerging epidemic worldwide. Despite advances in treatment, the morbidity and mortality rate of HF remain high, and the global prevalence continues to rise. Common clinical features of HF include cardiac sympathoexcitation, disordered breathing, and kidney dysfunction; kidney dysfunction strongly contributes to sodium retention and fluid overload, leading to poor outcomes of HF patients.

Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a disorder of the musculoskeletal system that is distinguished by the presence of pain, tenderness, muscle spasms, restricted joint range of motion, fatigue, and, in rare cases, autonomic dysfunction.

Background: Oral microenvironmental disorders are associated with an increased risk of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) technology enables the detection of substances that are visually indistinguishable to the human eye, providing a noninvasive approach with extensive applications in medical diagnostics.
Objective: The objective of this study is to develop and validate a digital, noninvasive oral diagnostic model for patients with HFpEF using HSI combined with various machine learning algorithms.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common compression neuropathy. The median nerve contains sensory, motor, and sympathetic fibers. Involvement of the different fibers of the median nerve in CTS may vary; hence, one of the sensory, motor, or autonomic dysfunctions may be dominant.
