Emerging oral disease-modifying therapies
Over the last two decades, patients have relied on the use of self-injectable disease modifying agents for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. The need for frequent injections has affected treatment up take and adherence. Fingolimod, the first oral disease modifying agent to be licensed in Europe and the United States, has been shown to be effective in reducing relapse rates in comparison to p...

متن کاملUpdate on Disease-Modifying/Preventive Therapies in Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is increasingly becoming a major health problem throughout the US and Western Europe.

A disease that has traditionally been associated with an aging population has thus become a h...
متن کاملOvercoming barriers in cognitive assessment of Alzheimer's disease
Diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) requires a reliable neuropsychological assessment, but major barriers are still encountered when such tests are used across cultures and during the lifespan. This is particularly problematic in developing countries where most of the available assessment tools have been adapted from developed countries. This represents a major limitation as these tests, alth...
