Qualitatively, 12 subjects (85.7%) demonstrated reproducible VM patterns at both time points (3 "M" pattern, 8 "V" pattern and one "N" pattern). Conclusion VR (a measure of cardiovagal function) and TR (a measure of sympathetic adrenergic function) are reliable quantitative parameters that can be derived from SBP response to VM in participants with SCI. Qualitative waveform analysis was reproducible in 12/14 participants. This provides the foundational evidence required to pursue further validity testing to establish a role for VM in the assessment of autonomic functions in SCI.Introduction Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a demyelinating inflammatory disease of The Central nervous system. We aimed to investigate the association between low carbohydrate diet (LCD) and NMOSD odds. Method Seventy NMOSD patients with definite diagnosis and 164 hospital-based controls were enrolled in this case-control study. Dietary data was obtained using a validated 168-item food frequency questionnaire. To determine the LCD score, participants were stratified into 11 groups according to carbohydrate, protein, fat, animal fat, animal protein, vegetable fat and vegetable protein intakes. Higher intake of protein and fat, and lower intake of carbohydrate received a higher score between 0-10. Macronutrients scores were summed together and LCD scores calculated. The association between LCD scores and likelihood of being assigned to NMOSD group was investigated using multiple regression models. Results Total LCD scores increased from the median of 21.00 in the first decile to 53.00 in the tenth decile of LCD score. After adjustment for confounding factors including age, gender, BMI, energy intake, cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption, an inverse association was detected betwe
