Atopic Myelitis : An Emerging Cause of Myelitis in Korea
… diseases such as Hirayama disease and idiopathic myelitis. We aimed to determine frequency of atophy or hyperIgEemia in idiopathic myelitis in Korea and to characterize the clinic-laboratory and MRI profiles of atopic myelitis (AM) in comparison with non-AM. METHODS: From 2006 January to 2008 …

Neurocognitive and Psychosocial Profiles of Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis and Transverse Myelitis
… brain-based involvement in youth with transverse myelitis (TM) despite absence of obvious cerebral pathology. The present objective is to further investigate neuropsychological sequelae associated with pediatric MS and TM by characterizing and comparing neurocognitive and psychosocial profiles …

Systematische Charakterisierung und Untersuchung der Inzidenz von Myelitis-assoziierten Autoantikörpern bei akuten Myelitiden
Diese Arbeit beschreibt die Myelitis als Krankheitsbild in demographischen, klinischen, bildmorphologischen und laborchemischen Parametern und zeigt eine Zuordnung zu verschiedenen Ätiologien auf. Die soll als systematische Übersichtsarbeit dienen. Zudem Untersuchung der Prävalenz von …

Clinical insights for early detection of acute transverse myelitis in the emergency departement
Acute transverse myelitis (ATM) is characterized by motor weakness, sensory changes, and autonomic dysfunction. However, diagnosis of ATM is based on early-stage clinical features only (and clarification of the cause of disease), which are difficult for emergency department (ED) physicians owing to …

The Role of Fatigue, Depression, and Other Clinical Factors in Determining Cognitive Status in Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis and Transverse Myelitis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) and transverse myelitis (TM) are immune-mediated demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system (CNS). MS is a chronic inflammatory disease that impacts both the brain and spinal cord; whereas, TM is a monophasic condition impacting only the spinal cord. Not …

Implications of Dysregulated Antibody Hypermutation Patterns in Multiple Sclerosis Patients
… to MS: optic neuritis (ONCIS) and transverse myelitis (TMCIS). Through my work in analyzing antibody genomics, I demonstrated that the AGS is present at the site of MS disease, within the CNS tissue. This provides support for the study of CSF B cells since it recapitulates what is present …

Die Spezifität der systemischen und intrathekalen Immunantwort bei der Infektion mit dem humanen T-lymphotropen Virus 1 (HTLV-1)
Das Retrovirus HTLV-1 induziert eine Myelitis, die HTLV-1 assoziierte Myelopathie / tropische spastische Paraparese (HAM/TSP) genannt wird. Bei dieser chronisch entzündlichen Erkrankung des ZNS infiltrieren HTLV-1 infizierte CD4+ T-Lymphozyten das Rückenmark und exprimieren retrovirale Proteine. …

An audit of the epidemiological, clinical features and outcomes of patients with Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD) attending a South African Tertiary referral Hospital
… by recurrent bouts of optic neuritis and myelitis. The pathogenic anti-aquaporin-4 antibody is present in most cases and distinguishes it from other forms of inflammatory CNS demyelination. This biomarker has led to recognising a broader clinical spectrum of NMOSD. Another recently …

Krankheitsinzidenzen des Hundes - Der Einfluss des Alters sowie von Geschlecht, Größe und Rasse
… and the disease complex “encephalitis/meningitis/myelitis" affected predominantly young adult dogs. The age-predilection of vaginitis and balanoposthitis did not correspond to its disease group (vaginitis: decreasing incidence with increasing age; balanoposthitis: incidence decreased after age of …

Autoradiographic Localization of Carbachol-Induced Second Messenger Response in the Rat Spinal Cord Following Inflammation.
This study examined central mechanisms of persistent pain using an autoradiographic technique to localize phosphoinositide hydrolysis (PI) in the rat spinal cord dorsal horn. The lateral half of laminae I-II showed the highest levels of baseline PI turnover and carbachol-stimulated PI turnover in …
