MRI lesion volume heterogeneity in primary progressive MS in relation with axonal damage and brain atrophy.
OBJECTIVES To investigate whether axonal damage in primary progressive (PP) multiple sclerosis (MS), as measured by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (HMRS) imaging and brain atrophy, is a function of T2 weighted brain lesion volume. METHODS 34 PP MS patients were divided into two categories: low (<3 cm(3), n = 18) or high (>or=3 cm(3), n = 16) T2 lesion load (LL). An Index of Brain Atro...
متن کاملHeterogeneity of T-lymphocyte function in primary progressive multiple sclerosis: relation to magnetic resonance imaging lesion volume.
We found that in vitro migration and interferon-gamma production by lymphocytes derived from primary progressive multiple sclerosis patients preselected on the basis of a high T2-weighted lesion volume (>10 cm3) on magnetic resonance imaging, were increased compared with that in primary progressive multiple sclerosis patients with a low T2-weighted lesion volume (<3 cm3) and controls. Whether t...
متن کاملP 70: Primary Progressive MS and Affecting Genes
Multiple sclerosis is a CNS autoimmune disease configured by demyelination, inflammation, and degeneration of axons. This disease inflict great harms to patients. The most common problem is inability to control musculoskeletal system and decrease in mobility. These consequences could vary from patients to patients. About 10-15% of all MS patients develop primary progressive MS (PPMS). Despite t...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Brain Volume, Brain Weight and IQ in Children in Primary Schools in the South of Iran
Background: Anthropometry is a branch of anatomy. One of the important parts of anthropometry is cephalometry, which is characterized by anatomical dimensions of the head area. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between brain volume, weight, and IQ in children. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 300 students...
متن کاملMs-lesion Segmentation in Mri with Random Forests
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common autoimmune disorder, whose diagnosis and study often relies on the extraction of biomarkers from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Manual segmentation of MS lesions suffers from large intraand inter-rater differences, whereas automatic methods promise reproducibility and enhanced consistency, especially for tracking the disease progress over time. To te...
