Tumefactive: A Rare First presentation of Multiple Sclerosis
Tumefactive demyelinating lesions are a rare presentation of multiple sclerosis (MS). Diagnosis of tumefactive is commonly carried out using magnetic resonance image (MRI). Tumefactive diagnosis is difficult because of may similar to the clinical and MRI characteristics of glioma or a cerebral abscess. We presented a 35-years-old female with one episode of secondary generalized seizure after de...
متن کاملIron Is a Sensitive Biomarker for Inflammation in Multiple Sclerosis Lesions
MRI phase imaging in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and in autopsy tissue have demonstrated the presence of iron depositions in white matter lesions. The accumulation of iron in some but not all lesions suggests a specific, potentially disease-relevant process, however; its pathophysiological significance remains unknown. Here, we explore the role of lesional iron in multiple sclerosis using ...
متن کاملIron and neurodegeneration in the multiple sclerosis brain
OBJECTIVE Iron may contribute to the pathogenesis and progression of multiple sclerosis (MS) due to its accumulation in the human brain with age. Our study focused on nonheme iron distribution and the expression of the iron-related proteins ferritin, hephaestin, and ceruloplasmin in relation to oxidative damage in the brain tissue of 33 MS and 30 control cases. METHODS We performed (1) whole-...
متن کاملHypothetical molecular mechanisms by which local iron overload facilitates the development of venous leg ulcers and multiple sclerosis lesions.
This paper presents a hypothetical model of role for iron in the development of venous leg ulcers and multiple sclerosis. Elevated concentrations of iron were found in the skin affected by venous hypertension and also in the areas of brain with multiple sclerosis lesions. Individuals with hemochromatosis gene (HFE) mutations: C282Y and H63D, which result in a less efficient transport of iron by...
متن کاملP 16: The Effect of Reducing CCL11 on Multiple Sclerosis Treatment by Using Heterochronic Parabiosis Techniques
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic neuroinflammatory disease that leads to distribute neurodegeneration in the grey and white matter of the brain. In MS, age-related iron accumulation, chronic oxidative injury and activation of microglia are key factors to create neurodegeneration. Also concentration of CCL11 is increased in multiple sclerosis. CCL11 can amplify glu...
