Arteriovenous shunting in quadriplegia. 1986

F Van den Hoogen, and L A Brawn, and S Sherriff, and N Watson, and J D Ward

Arterio-venous shunting has been demonstrated in the limbs of ten subjects with traumatic quadriplegia, as shown by increased venous oxygen concentration and a Doppler sonogram pattern indicative of continuous forward flow. This phenomenon is similar to that seen in the diabetic neuropathic foot, suggesting that autonomic dysfunction is a major factor in the development of foot ulceration in the quadriplegic and in the diabetic.

D010100 Oxygen An element with atomic symbol O, atomic number 8, and atomic weight [15.99903; 15.99977]. It is the most abundant element on earth and essential for respiration. Dioxygen,Oxygen-16,Oxygen 16
D011782 Quadriplegia Severe or complete loss of motor function in all four limbs which may result from BRAIN DISEASES; SPINAL CORD DISEASES; PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASES; or rarely MUSCULAR DISEASES. The locked-in syndrome is characterized by quadriplegia in combination with cranial muscle paralysis. Consciousness is spared and the only retained voluntary motor activity may be limited eye movements. This condition is usually caused by a lesion in the upper BRAIN STEM which injures the descending cortico-spinal and cortico-bulbar tracts.
