The Actual Data from PREMiSe Do Not Support the Highly Publicized, Anti-CCSVI Claims and Warnings of the University of Buffalo Researchers

چکیده
Quick Summary The actual data from the PREMiSe Trial do not support the highly publicized claim that CCSVI correction by angioplasty is not of value for MS and may worsen disease activity. In sharp contrast, the data suggest that CCSVI correction may well be of substantial value for MS. The misleading claims made by University of Buffalo researchers are based on irrelevant data from the failed Phase 2 portion of the trial in which no one had their CCSVI corrected. The anti-CCSVI bias and baseless claims may be explained by the conflicts of interest.

Buffaloed: The anti-CCSVI Bias of the University of Buffalo Researchers and their Unsupported Interpretations
Last week researchers from the University of Buffalo published the results of their 2009 research on the prevalence of CCSVI in various groups of people including 289 persons with MS, 21 persons who had experienced a clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) (often a precursor to MS), 163 healthy controls and 26 subjects who were suffering from other neurological diseases. The paper was made available...
متن کاملIntegrating CCSVI and CNS autoimmunity in a disease model for MS.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is currently classified as a cell-mediated, autoimmune disease on the basis of genetic, immunological, experimental and epidemiological data.1 This widely accepted autoimmune model, in which the immune system is sensitized to myelin by external influences such as an infection, has recently been challenged by the observations that many persons with MS have a newly defined...

The recently held ECTRIMS conference contained the results of 14 studies which have relevance for CCSVI and MS. Of the 14 studies presented, 10 supported the concept that CCSVI is highly associated with MS and that it likely contributes to the disease process. Three were negative and one curiously contained both positive and negative information. Seven of the positive reports came from the exte...
