Multiple sclerosis vs. myasthenia gravis MS andmyasthenia gravis(MG) are both disorders of the immune system that cause weakness. MS impacts the central nervous system and more parts of the body, including vision, balance, and coordination. On the other hand, the primary symptom of MG is facia...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is thought to be an autoimmune disease; however, the exact cause is not known. Early signs and symptoms of MS are fatigue, bladder and bowel problems, vision problems, and numbness, tingling, or pain in certain areas of the body.

New MRI technique allows for more precise imaging of myelin sheath Scientists have developed a technique to more precisely map the myelin sheath, the fatty covering around nerve fibers that is damaged in multiple sclerosis (MS), in people undergoing an imaging scan. While further work is needed...
Although extensive multifocal white matter and grey matter lesions are characteristic of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (Figure 8.3), the appearances may be indistinguishable from those seen in multiple sclerosis and occasionally MRI can be normal even when the patient presents in an obtunded state...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard test for diagnosing and monitoring the progression ofmultiple sclerosis (MS). Some types of MRI require using gadolinium-based contrast dye (GBCD). The dye frequently causes side effects, such as nausea, headaches, dizziness, and rash, but ...
