“…Our report on reduced WL in patients with VCDs is in line with previous studies of patients with ischemic stroke [ 25 , 39 ]. Data on TF volume in patients with inflammatory CNS diseases is sparse, but to the best of our knowledge we show here, for the first time, reduced WL in the subgroup of patients with inflammatory/ autoimmune/ infectious CNS diseases and a similar trend in the subgroup of patients with MS.…”

“…However, there have been few studies addressing TF production in neurological patients, and these have mostly studied small patient cohorts and focused on particular disorders [ 20 ]. Significantly reduced TF wetting lengths (WL) using the Schirmer tear test (STT) have been demonstrated in patients with PD in multiple studies [ 4 , 6 , 24 ] and alterations in TF production have been also reported in other NDs [ 12 , 21 , 22 , 25 ].…”

Background Tear fluid (TF) production is an important component of normal ocular function. It is regulated by parasympathetic and sympathetic innervation. Because parasympathetic nerve fibers originate in the brainstem, pathology in this brain region may affect TF production. For example, a reduction in TF production has been described in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Methods TF was collected at one center from 772 individuals, 708 of which were patients with different neurological diseases, and 64 healthy controls. Wetting lengths (WL) were recorded using Schirmer test strips with a collection time of 10 min. Results WL correlated negatively with age and was significantly reduced in subgroups of patients with neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) (PD, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), other motor neuron diseases (MNDs)), as well as inflammatory/autoimmune/infectious central nervous system (CNS) diseases and vascular CNS diseases (VCDs), even if corrected for age or sex. While temperature had a significant negative effect on TF production, other environmental factors, such as hours of sunlight and humidity, did not. Conclusion WL was altered in many neurological diseases compared to healthy controls. Most importantly, we observed a reduction of WL in NDDs, independent of age or sex. This study highlights the potential of WL as an easily obtainable parameter and suggests functional alterations in the autonomic innervation in various neurological disorders.

“… 11 Küçük et al demonstrated that the morbidity of DED in patients with chronic stroke with hemiplegia was high. 12 Moreover, DED symptoms even tend to affect inpatients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). 13 Based on the increased incidence of DED, the diagnostic criteria for DED were renewed by the Asia Dry Eye Society.…”

Introduction Patients with cerebrovascular accident and hemiplegia need to perform physical exercise and aerobic training, but physical dysfunction restricts the performance of these activities. Objective The article aims to develop physical strength sports for stroke patients with hemiplegia to explore the efficacy of sports to regain limb function in these patients. Methods We randomly selected 30 patients with stroke sequelae and divided them into control and exercise groups. While undergoing rehab, the exercise group performed a certain amount of aerobic exercise. During this period, we compared the relevant physiological indicators of the patients, and, at the same time, we used the Fugle-Meyer motor function scoring method to assess limb function. Results The two groups of patients are significantly different regarding the recovery of physical function and the capacity for daily life. Physiological indicators of patients are also different. Conclusion Low-intensity aerobic exercise can help stroke and hemiplegia patients regain their basic ability to live and exercise. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies: investigation of treatment results.
