Cerebral arteriography was normal and the brain scan returned to normal four weeks later, possibly as a result of blood brain barrier restoration. Abnormal brain scans appear to occur only during acute exacerbations of demyelinating disease, and multiple sclerosis should be part of the differential ...
Tim Coetzee, chief advocacy, services and research officer for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, named the study to be innovative and significant. “It's a helpful and important contribution to helping us understand the connections between changes in the brain that are associated with MS and...
What is multiple sclerosis (MS)? Multiple sclerosis is a disease that causes demyelination of the brain and spinal cord nerve cells. When this occurs, axons (the parts of the nerve cells that conduct impulses to other cells), don't work as well. Myelin acts as insulation on electrical wire...
Care guide for Multiple Sclerosis. Includes: possible causes, signs and symptoms, standard treatment options and means of care and support.
Owing to a lack of disease-specific tests, diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) requires numerous, often invasive, investigations. In a new prospective study, Mistry et al . report that visualization of central veins in brain lesions using MRI is a sensitive method to predict MS. 29 ...
The application of structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) has certainly helped to improve our understanding of the mechanisms responsible for clinical disability and cognitive impairment in this condition. The numerous studies performed...
There's no single test that can tell whether you havemultiple sclerosis(MS), so it may take some time and multiple doctor visits to get a diagnosis. Doctors use a combination of physical exams, medical history questions, imaging tests, and laboratory tests to diagnose the condition. ...
By the time multiple sclerosis (MS) is diagnosed in children, it may be difficult to prevent the disabilities and relapses that come with the disease. In a new Yale School of Medicine study, researchers examined MRI brain scans to identify children at high risk of developing MS before symptom...
Multiple sclerosisvolumetricMRIbrainatrophyBVLObjectives : In this study, we aimed to explore the extent and clinical relevance of brain volume dynamics in relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Methods : Sixty-three patients with RRMS with a disease duration of about 5 years (36 women, ...
