Deficient MWF mapping in multiple sclerosis using 3D whole-brain multi-component relaxation MRI

Recent multiple sclerosis (MS) MRI research has highlighted the need to move beyond the lesion-centric view and to develop and validate new MR imaging strategies that quantify the invisible burden of disease in the brain and establish much more sensitive and specific surrogate markers of clinical disability. One of the most promising of such measures is myelin-selective MRI that allows the acqu...

Myelin Sensitive Multi-Component DESPOT Imaging in Multiple Sclerosis

The relationship between multiple sclerosis (MS) and early micro-structural changes in brain tissue is at the forefront of ongoing research in the fields of neuroimaging and clinical neurology [1]. Quantitative MR imaging techniques that permit the formation of maps of underlying MR parameters such as tissue longitudinal (T1) and transverse (T2) relaxation time, have the ability to detect early...

Clinical scales in progressive MS: predicting long-term disability.

BACKGROUND To determine which short-term changes on clinical scales including the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Timed 25-Foot Walk (T25FW), 9-Hole Peg test (9HPT) and Guy's Neurological Disability Scale (GNDS) are most predictive of long-term outcome of disability as rated by the EDSS in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). METHODS From a longitudinal database, all progressive pati...

White matter changes in treatment refractory schizophrenia: Does cognitive control and myelination matter?

Widespread white matter abnormalities have been reported in schizophrenia, a disorder frequently characterised as a dysconnection syndrome. White matter connectivity in schizophrenia has been predominantly investigated using diffusion weighted imaging, with reductions in fractional anisotropy throughout the brain often interpreted as an indicator of abnormal myelination. However, diffusion weig...

Effect of Isometric Exercises on Ability and Balance of Patients With Multiple Sclerosis

Objectives: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic and disabling disease of the nervous system. This study was conducted to determine the effect of isometric exercises on balance and ability in the patients with MS.  Methods: Sixty MS patients participated in this randomized controlled trial study and patients were randomly assigned into treatment and control groups. Treatment group partici...
