pilocarpine and Reflex, Abnormal

pilocarpine has been researched along with Reflex, Abnormal in 7 studies

Pilocarpine: A slowly hydrolyzed muscarinic agonist with no nicotinic effects. Pilocarpine is used as a miotic and in the treatment of glaucoma.
(+)-pilocarpine : The (+)-enantiomer of pilocarpine.

Reflex, Abnormal: An abnormal response to a stimulus applied to the sensory components of the nervous system. This may take the form of increased, decreased, or absent reflexes.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"A case report of a 22-year-old patient with accommodative paralysis is presented including (1) the five-year history beginning with infectious mononucleosis; (2) recent clinical examination showing accomodative paralysis and reduced pupilary responses to light and near; (3) objective recordings confirming both the absence of any accommodation and the presence of pupillary responses to monocular and binocular near stimuli and to light, the latter with pupillary escape; and finally (4) neuropharmacological tests showing 7-diopter accommodative responses to pilocarpine (an acetylcholine substitute acting directly on the ciliary muscle receptor sites) and absent responses to demecarium bromide (a cholinesterase blocking agent which potentiates neurally released acetylcholine)."3.65Paralysis of accommodation in infectious mononucleosis. ( Phillips, SR; Stark, L; Thal, LS, 1977)
"Ross syndrome is a degenerative disorder that progressively involves different fibre populations, starting with autonomic fibres and then involving the unmyelinated and myelinated sensory fibres."1.34Anhidrosis: a clue to an underlying autonomic disorder. ( Bhatti, SM; Chemmanam, T; Kadyan, RS; Pandian, JD, 2007)
