[Sex-related differences in atrophy and lesion load in multiple sclerosis patients].
INTRODUCTION Previous studies showed gender-associated clinical and MRI differences in multiple sclerosis (MS) evolution. However, only few studies were done with non conventional MRI techniques and no one was done in a South American MS population. The aim of this study was to investigate gender differences according to nonconventional MRI measures in patients with MS from Buenos Aires, Argent...
متن کاملRegional brain atrophy in children with multiple sclerosis
We used cross-sectional tensor-based morphometry to visualize reduced volume in the whole brains of pediatric patients with multiple sclerosis, relative to healthy controls. As a marker of local volume difference, we used the Jacobian determinant of the deformation field that maps each subject to a standard space. To properly assess abnormal differences in volume in this age group, it is necess...
متن کاملBrain atrophy at onset and physical disability in multiple sclerosis.
UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to investigate if brain atrophy in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients during the disease onset predicts long term disability. METHODS MS patients with follow-up time of at least 7 years from disease onset and with baseline and second magnetic resonance 12 months later were included to measure brain atrophy. Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) was categor...
متن کاملSex differences in resting-state functional connectivity in multiple sclerosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Multiple studies have demonstrated evidence of sex differences in patients with MS, including differences in disease progression, cognitive decline, and biologic markers. This study used functional connectivity MRI to investigate sex differences in the strength of functional connectivity of the default mode network in patients with MS and healthy control subjects. MATER...
متن کاملTime to target brain atrophy and neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis.
M ultiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease affecting the central nervous system (CNS) characterized by a relapsing-remitting course in the majority of the patients. In the last two decades, an increasing number of approved drugs for MS showed efficacy on clinical relapses and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lesions related to inflammatory activity in the CNS. Alth...
