An article co-authored by student Aurora Anderson, Physician Assistant Studies Program Class of 2012, appears in the March 2011 issue of Neurology. Anderson served on a research team affiliated with the University of Maryland and completed the study "Assessing autonomic dysfunction in early diabetic neuropathy: the Survey of Autonomic Symptoms."

After testing tested in 30 healthy controls and 62 subjects with neuropathy and impaired glucose tolerance or newly diagnosed diabetes, the team concluded, “The SAS is a new, valid, easily administered instrument to measure autonomic symptoms in early diabetic neuropathy and would be of value in assessing neuropathic autonomic symptoms in clinical trials and epidemiologic studies.”
