Disseminated sclerosis
… with special reference to subacute combined sclerosis. 12 of the cases came under my personal observation, for the notes of the remaining cases, I am indebted to W. B. Warrington, F.R.C.P.

Metabolomic characterization of Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system with a strong autoimmune component. MS is the most common cause of non-traumatic acquired neurological disability in young adults with a particularly high incidence in Sardinia. Several aspects still represent …

Parental Stress In Tuberous Sclerosis Complex
<p>Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is a multi-systemic genetic disorder with great clinical variability. As the needs of one child with TSC may vastly differ from another, parenting demands may similarly differ. Characterizing parental stress, or emotional maladaptation arising from parenting …

Profiling neuroinflammation in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
BACKGROUND: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease primarily characterised by progressive loss of motor neurons. ALS is highly heterogeneous and exists on a clinical and pathogenetic spectrum with frontotemporal dementia (FTD); those anywhere on this spectrum are said to …

Imaging and therapy in multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common, debilitating autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system (CNS). The most visible element of MS pathology is white matter (WM) lesions. However, extra-lesional abnormalities are recognised and appear most marked at the outer (subpial) brain surfaces at …

Tobacco Smoke Exposure and Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease which affects approximately 2.5 million people worldwide, including approximately 7,000 children. The etiology of MS is unclear, although researchers generally agree that both environmental and genetic factors are involved. It …

Adipocytes and Innate Immunity In Systemic Sclerosis
<p>Systemic sclerosis (SSc; scleroderma) is a chronic systemic autoimmune and connective tissue disorder characterized by vasculopathy, autoimmune phenomena, and widespread fibrosis. Skin thickening and tightening is the cardinal feature of SSc and is responsible, in part, for the considerable …

Gait variability in persons with multiple sclerosis
… gait variability in people with multiple sclerosis (MS), which is a neurological disease that can result in significant walking impairment. Gait variability, i.e. fluctuations in the mechanics and kinematics of steps during walking, has been associated with motor control function, …

Characterization of Peripherin Isoforms in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
… neurodegenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Interestingly, peripherin overexpressing transgenic mice succumb to motor neuron disease with pathological hallmarks reminiscent of those found in ALS. Pathological peripherin abnormalities occur with high frequency in both familial …

Vliv psychické zátěže na rozvoj onemocnění sclerosis multiplex
… práce Vliv psychické zátěže na rozvoj onemocnění sclerosis multiplex jsem si vybrala na základě svého zájmu o obor neurologie. S ohledem na nutnost preventivní tématiky jsem ve spolupráci s MUDr. Medovou vybrala toto téma, neboť v minulosti vyšlo již několik prací zabývajících se touto …

Dysphagia patient-reported outcome measures in multiple sclerosis
Dysphagia in multiple sclerosis (MS) is poorly characterized. The Dysphagia in Multiple Sclerosis (DYMUS) is a dysphagia questionnaire developed specifically for persons with MS but lacks validation, and recent research has questioned its accuracy as a screening tool. The Sydney Swallow …

Exploring retinal changes in Dementia and Multiple Sclerosis
… disease (AD) and disability in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Detection of molecular and morphological hallmarks in the brain or spinal cord is invasive, insensitive and expensive. It has been hypothesized that changes in the retina may mirror changes in the brain. In contrast to brain imaging, …
