Pattern electroretinogram in multiple sclerosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The pattern electroretinogram obtained in patients affected by multiple sclerosis were compared with those in a normal population. The pattern electroretinogram amplitude in multiple sclerosis optic neuritis frequently appeared normal, but pattern electroretinogram amplitude abnormalities were found in patients suffering from recurrent multiple sclerosis optic neuritis. Pattern electroretinogram examination appears a useful method in the differential diagnosis between axonal and demyelinating optic nerve impairment.

Retinal pathology in multiple sclerosis: insight into the mechanisms of neuronal pathology.
Sir, We congratulate Calabresi et al. (2010) for the scientific commentary regarding retinal pathology in multiple sclerosis. The authors have excellently summarized the pathological mechanism in multiple sclerosis in the brain and retina. We would like to make a contribution to the retinal aspects of their comments. Full-field flash electroretinogram is the mass electrical activity of the reti...
متن کاملIL-33 polymorphism rs1929992 and its association with susceptibility to different pattern of multiple sclerosis
Background: Multiple sclerosis is the most common autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is a cytokine with both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory activities that implicated in the pathogenesis of some autoimmune diseases. The aim of this study was to determine single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of IL-33, rs1929992, in patient’s gene ...

Introduction: Regarding the prevalence of psychological disorders in multiple sclerosis patients, some reports have considered the efficacy of a resilient model prior to previous treatments. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the resiliency model on improving the quality of life components in patients with multiple sclerosis followed by three months. Method...
متن کاملReduced habituation of the retinal ganglion cell response to sustained pattern stimulation in multiple sclerosis patients.
OBJECTIVE Sustained pattern stimulation in normal subjects induces adaptive changes in pattern electroretinogram (PERG), an effect that has been interpreted as a response of glial cells and retinal ganglion cells (RGC). The aim of this study was to compare the effect in normal subjects and in multiple sclerosis patients without previous optic neuritis. METHODS PERGs were elicited by a 7.5 Hz ...
متن کاملExpression of Chemokine Receptors on Th1/Th2 CD4+ Lymphocytes in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis
Background: Th1 cells preferentially express CXCR3, CCR5 and CCR6, while CCR3 and CCR4 are predominantly expressed by Th2 cell subsets. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a Th1 cell-dependant chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system, and immunomudolatory cytokines could alter the chemokine expression pattern of these lymphocyte subsets. Objective: This study was performed to measure c...
