Secondary progressive multiple sclerosis: the relationship between short-term MRI activity and clinical features.
We report the findings in 60 patients with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis who had monthly brain MRI studies for 4 months (one baseline and three follow-up scans). The purpose was to define the short-term MRI natural history in a large cohort with secondary progressive disease and to ascertain its relationship with other clinical and MRI features. The patients were participating in eit...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Gray Matter Quantitative MRI and Disability in Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis
PURPOSE In secondary progressive Multiple Sclerosis (SPMS), global neurodegeneration as a driver of disability gains importance in comparison to focal inflammatory processes. However, clinical MRI does not visualize changes of tissue composition outside MS lesions. This quantitative MRI (qMRI) study investigated cortical and deep gray matter (GM) proton density (PD) values and T1 relaxation tim...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Glutamate and Multiple Sclerosis
Glutamate is the most important excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system which is involved in synaptic transmission, brain development, synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory. Normally, the enzymatic destruction of glutamate does not occur in the synaptic and extracellular space, but glutamate is removed through specific transporter proteins, leading to stabilization of glut...
متن کاملEvaluation of the relationship between axon injury and clinical symptoms in patients with multiple sclerosis using diffusion tensor MRI imaging
Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive imaging technology that shows detailed anatomical and pathological images. It is often used for disease detection, diagnosis, and treatment monitoring, in particular with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Multiple sclerosis (MS), Alzheimer's and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. However, conventional MRI provides only qualitative inf...
متن کاملDefining secondary progressive multiple sclerosis.
A number of studies have been conducted with the onset of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis as an inclusion criterion or an outcome of interest. However, a standardized objective definition of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis has been lacking. The aim of this work was to evaluate the accuracy and feasibility of an objective definition for secondary progressive multiple sclerosis,...
