A Consensus Confe rence was convened on 16 November 1995 in Phoenix, Arizona, USA with the specific aim of generating a consensus on three specific items: the definition of orthostatic hypotension, pure autonomic failure (Bradbury Eggleston syndrome, idiopathic orthostatic hypotension, progressive autonomic failure) and multiple system atrophy. The meeting was sponsored by the American Autonomic Society, and co-sponsored by the American Academy of Neurology. The Concensus Statement was endorsed by the World Federation of Neurology, Research Committee on Autonomic Disorders. Consensus was reached on the following:read more

TL;DR: It is increasingly recognized that office measurements correlate poorly with blood pressure measured in other settings, and that they can be supplemented by self-measured readings taken with validated devices at home, which gives a better prediction of risk than office measurements and is useful for diagnosing white-coat hypertension.

TL;DR: It is indicated that, apart from glycemic control, the incidence of neuropathy is associated with potentially modifiable cardiovascular risk factors, including a raised triglyceride level, body-mass index, smoking, and hypertension.

Accuracy of clinical diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinson's disease: a clinico-pathological study of 100 cases.
TL;DR: The pathological findings in 100 patients diagnosed prospectively by a group of consultant neurologists as having idiopathic Parkinson's disease are reported, and these observations call into question current concepts of Parkinson's Disease as a single distinct morbid entity.
