Visual fields were examined by means of Friedmann visual field analysis (VFA) and by static perimetry (SP) in 37 clinically definite multiple sclerosis patients. In the asymptomatic group (i.e., patients who never had any symptoms suggesting involvement of the visual pathways) VFA was normal ...
On the basis of the CDC findings, a National Multiple Sclerosis Society expert panel concluded as follows: “People with MS should not be denied access to health-preserving and potentially-life saving vaccines because of their MS, and should follow the CDC guidelines for any given vaccine.”[48...
Monitoring disease burden is an unmeet need in multiple sclerosis (MS). Identifying patients at high risk of disability progression will be useful for improving clinical-therapeutic decisions in clinical routine. To evaluate the role of visual field testing in non-optic neuritis eyes (non-ON eyes...
Visual field abnormalities in multiple sclerosis. Visual fields were examined with a tangent screen in 54 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) or optic neuritis (ON). Visual fields were abnormal in all pa... V,H,Patterson,... - 《Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & Psychiatry》 被引量: 42...
Pathologically, the multifocal scarred lesions of multiple sclerosis (MS) are termed plaques. Etiology is autoimmune, with susceptibility determined by genetic and environmental factors. MS affects >900,000 in the United States and 3 million worldwide; onset is often in early to ...
The use of natalizumab for multiple sclerosis Rachel Brandstadter, Ilana Katz Sand Department of Neurology, Corinne Goldsmith Dickinson Center for Multiple Sclerosis, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY, USA Abstract: Natalizumab is a
b Initiating Events in Multiple Sclerosis It is not certain whether multiple sclerosis originates from a defect in the immune system or from a defect in the CNS. Data from sequencing the genome of patients with multiple sclerosis suggest that the defect lies in the immune system (109). Various...
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease wherein through a mechanism that is yet to be understood, the immune system attacks the myelin sheath of the neurons. This sheath is the protective insulator of the neurons that allows for easy transfer of nerve impulses from one brain cell to another...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological condition and the leading cause of non-traumatic disability in young adults. MS pathogenesis leads to the death of oligodendrocytes, demyelination, and progressive central nervous system neurodegeneration
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease, characterised by oligodendrocyte death and demyelination. Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells can differentiate into new replacement oligodendrocytes; however, remyelination is insuff
