O 14: Differentiating Demyelinating Disorders of the Central Nervous System – a Focus on Multiple Sclerosis and Neuromyelitis-Optica Spectrum Disorders

Significant advances have been made in diagnosis and therapy of demyelinating disorders of the central nervous system. The most common entities of this disorders in adults – multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica were initially thought to be different phenotypes of more or less the same disease. During the last ten years, this view was subsequently changed and the term neuromyelitis ...

Review of New Methods of Diagnosis and Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating process involving mainly the white matter of central nervous system. The clinical diagnosis generally rests on two features of the illness:  A. A history of fluctuations in the clinical course. B. A physical examination consistent with that of multiple lesionsjinllheiwhite matter o,f the central nervous system.  No specific laboratory test is cur...

The Role of Mammalian Target of Rapamycine Signaling Pathway in Central Nervous System Cancers: A Review

Mammalian mechanistic target of rapamycine (mTOR) is a conserved serine/threonine kinase in the cellular PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. This pathway is modified by cellular alterations such as level of energy, growth factors, stresses, as well as the increased environmental level of cancerous cytokines. In general, increase of this kinase protein function is seen in various types of cancers, ...
