Introduction: Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO) is a rare inflammatory disease of the central nervous system which generally affecting the spinal cord and optic nerve. Damage to the optic nerve can result in the patient's dim vision or even blindness, while the spinal cord damage may lead to sensory and motor paralysis and the weakness of the lower limbs in the patient. Magnetic Reson...

Background: Parkinson's disease is one of the prevalent degenerative diseases of the neural system. Oxidative stress, which has been recognized as the most important factor of Parkinson's disease, plays a main role in the death of neurons in this disease. Antioxidants have a proved role in the prevention of oxidative stress. Objective: Considering the presence of evidence regarding antioxid...

Of the many causes of dementia, Alzheimer disease (AD) is most common. Diagnosis generally followed by treatment. One common treatments AD a type medication called acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs). ChEIs work blocking breakdown chemical in brain acetylcholine. In doing so, allows more this to be available brain. This can improve or maintain cognition and memory.

objective: to report involvement of the central nervous system (cns) following epithelial ovarian cancer is rare. advances in management of ovarian cancer by use of primary surgery including abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo'oophorectomy should attain as complete a cytoreduction as possible and effective platinum-based chemotherapy have prolonged survival. case report: we present a cas...

a common pathological process that occurred after brain injury is gliosis. gliosis involves the activation of glial cells to proliferate and become hypertrophic to occupy the injured brain areas. in order to form a defense system against the invasion of micro-organisms and cytotoxins into surrounding tissue, glial cells including astrocytes and microglia undergo reactive response to injury. neu...

neuroinflammation as a protective mechanism for repairing tissue damage in the central nervous system (cns), has been classified into two types: acute and chronic. it is characterized by the activation of microglia and astrocytes and the increase levels of different chemokines and cytokines. neuroinflammation can be harmful, and it is a common pathological feature in neurodegenerative and psych...

The blood-brain barrier regulates the flow of ions, chemicals, and cells by acting as a conduit between blood cerebral tissue. Additionally, it shields brain against pathogen invasion immune cell infiltration. It is composed endothelial cells, pericytes, astrocytic end feet, perivascular macrophages, microglial which help in maintaining its integrity. There are various signaling pathways that a...
