چکیده
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is considered a key research tool to monitor neurodegenerative processes in CNS disorders. This particularly applicable multiple sclerosis (MS), which retinal changes (peripapillary nerve fiber layer and ganglion cell–inner plexiform [GCIPL] thicknesses) tend reflect MRI markers of damage atrophy, especially eyes not affected by previous optic neuritis.1

Non-adherence to Disease-Modifying Treatments in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis
Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating disease of the central nervous system. Usually, long-term MS medications are injected intramuscularly or subcutaneously, making them intolerable for many MS patients. Objectives: In the present study, the rate and the causes of non-adherence to MS disease-modifying drugs (DMDs) were assessed in patients with MS. Materials and Methods: Two ...
متن کاملDisease-modifying treatments for Alzheimer's disease.
The first drugs developed for Alzheimer's disease (AD), acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEI), increase acetylcholine levels, previously demonstrated to be reduced in AD. To date, four AChEI are approved for the treatment of mild-to-moderate AD. A further therapeutic option available for moderate-to-severe AD is memantine. These treatments are symptomatic, whereas drugs under development are ...
متن کاملUSE OF MYELOPEROXIDASE INDEX AS A SUITABLE TOOL TO MONITOR RESPONSE TO THERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH MEGALOBLASTIC ANEMIA
Repeated bone marrow examination was found to be of value in assessing response to treatment in megaloblastic anemia. The objective of this study was monitoring the response of megaloblastics to treatment, concerning the location of neutrophilic myeloperoxidase and myeloperoxidase index (MPXI) and their variation in megaloblastic erythroid progeny. It is possible to follow up megaloblastic ...
متن کاملDiagnosis and disease modifying treatments in multiple sclerosis.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) refers to scattered areas of hardening found on sectioning central nervous system tissue of affected people, usually after many years of illness. It rarely causes early death but is the commonest cause of neurological disability among young people. Overall results from controlled trials over the past 50 years have been rather disappointing but the comparatively recent li...
