متن کاملMultimodal MRI as a diagnostic biomarker for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
OBJECTIVE Reliable biomarkers for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are needed, given the clinical heterogeneity of the disease. Here, we provide proof-of-concept for using multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a diagnostic biomarker for ALS. Specifically, we evaluated the added diagnostic utility of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). ME...
متن کاملAmyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in a Patient with Behçet’s Disease
Behçet’s disease is a multisystem vasculitis. Its neurological involvement mostly includes parenchymal and non-parenchymal central nervous system manifestations. Peripheral nervous system presentations are rare. A 32-yr-old male patient who fulfilled the international study group criteria for Behçet’s disease, referred to our center with walking difficulty and repeated falling downs. Neurologi...
متن کاملTowards a neuroimaging biomarker for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
400 www.thelancet.com/neurology Vol 10 May 2011 might benefi t from early initiation of therapy to prevent or delay progression to multiple sclerosis. Data from this study could also provide clues as to the causes and development of multiple sclerosis, because the interactions between genetic and environmental factors were analysed in children during the period of fi rst exposure to environment...
متن کاملAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis: considerations on diagnostic criteria.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder, compromising the motor neuron, characterized by progressive muscle weakness, with reserved prognosis. The diagnosis is based on inclusion and exclusion clinical criteria, since there is no specific confirmation test. The objective of this research is to critically examine the main diagnosis instrument - El Escorial revisited, ...
