Cognitive-linguistic deficit and speech intelligibility in chronic progressive multiple sclerosis.
BACKGROUND Multiple sclerosis is a disabling neurological disease with varied symptoms, including dysarthria and cognitive and linguistic impairments. Association between dysarthria and cognitive-linguistic deficit has not been explored in clinical multiple sclerosis studies. AIMS In patients with chronic progressive multiple sclerosis, the study aimed to investigate the presence and nature o...
متن کاملChemokines in chronic progressive neurological multiple sclerosis
Chemokines are 8 ± 12 kd chemoattractant cytokines characterized by a four cysteine motif (Luster, 1998; Ransohoff et al, 1996; Schall, 1994; Taub, 1996). The presence or absence of an intervening amino acid(s) (X) between the N terminal cysteines de®nes the CXC/CX3C and CC families, respectively. A third family, C chemokines, lacks an N terminal cysteine but is otherwise homologous. It was ori...
متن کاملChronic Progressive Multiple Sclerosis – Pathogenesis of Neurodegeneration and Therapeutic Strategies
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory, autoimmune, demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that usually starts as a relapsing-remitting disease. In most patients the disease evolves into a chronic progressive phase characterized by continuous accumulation of neurological deficits. While treatment of relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) has improved dramatically over the last dec...
متن کاملExploring recombinant human erythropoietin in chronic progressive multiple sclerosis.
The neurodegenerative aspects of chronic progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) have received increasing attention in recent years, since anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive treatment strategies have largely failed. However, successful neuroprotection and/or neuroregeneration in MS have not been demonstrated yet. Encouraged by the multifaceted neuroprotective effects of recombinant human eryth...
متن کاملBrain Viscoelasticity Alteration in Chronic-Progressive Multiple Sclerosis
INTRODUCTION Viscoelastic properties indicate structural alterations in biological tissues at multiple scales with high sensitivity. Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) is a novel technique that directly visualizes and quantitatively measures biomechanical tissue properties in vivo. MRE recently revealed that early relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) is associated with a global decrea...
