conclusions our findings indicate that fatigue and disability may affect a patient’s quality of life. although mobility may affect the overall quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis, it may also affect the physical health of ms patients. therefore, the identification of factors affecting the quality of life in ms patients may help in predicting the quality of life, and designing a ...

multiple sclerosis (ms) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (cns) which causes demyelination of the nerve fibers. the etiology of this disease is not well understood but it is believed that t helpers play a central role in ms. numerous findings support the view that th17 cells play an essential role in pathogenesis of ms and il-17 secreting t (th17) cells have a role in infla...

when pooled immunoglobulin g (igg) from patients with multiple sclerosis (ms) was used to probe a human fetal spinal cord λgt 11 cdna library, the igg was found to bind to a predicted epitope of human mitochondrial nd4 sequence. to investigate the involvement of the nd4 as an autoantigen in ms, we determined the presence of specific antibody in the serum of ms patients and serum samples of some...

conclusions components of social support, totally account for 19% of resiliency variance value of patient; the components of social support, family, friends, and other people’s support at only had lower contribution in predicting resiliency. support of this group of people to increase their resiliency seems necessary. results there was a significant association between social support and resili...

background: multiple sclerosis (ms) is a chronic disease characterized by degradation of the central nervous system myelin which may impair the balance of patients. core stability exercises have been the focus of attention for repairing the stability of some patients.   objectives: to assess the effect of core stability exercise on the balance of patients with multiple sclerosis. materials and ...

multiple  sclerosis  (ms) is  an  autoimmune  multifactorial  degenerative  disease  with detrimental affliction on central nervous system. mhc class i chain- related genea,b(mica and micb) are nonclassical human leukocyte antigens that can affect on some diseases and also on transplantation. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the mica and micb mrna expression in multiple sclerosis patie...

background:  multiple  sclerosis  (ms) is a  chronic inflammatory  demyelinating  and  neurodegenerative disease  of central  nervous  system  with unknown  causes. etiology of ms involves  both  genetic  and  environment factors.  the  interleukin  7   receptor   (il7r)   gene   is  a promising candidate  for ms, because its involvement in the autoimmunity, regulation of the t-cell homeostasis...
