multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune cns-disease characterized by inflammatory neurodegenerative events occurring with de- and remyelination. recent evidence show that demyelinated neurons are less excitable than myelinated ones while at early stages of remyelination these neurons seem to be hyperexcitable. the latter is a transitory condition that, very likely, leads to impaired neuronal networ...

multiple sclerosis (ms) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that inflammation, demyelination, oligodendrocyte loss, gliosis, axonal injury and neurodegeneration are the main histopathological hallmarks of the disease. although ms was classically thought as a demyelinating disease, but axonal injury occurs commonly in acute inflammatory lesions. in ms mi...

High cortisol level in endogenous Cushing’s syndrome suppresses the immune system and after treatment there may be an over activity of immune reaction leading to autoimmune diseases mostly thyroid and rheumatologic disorders. This is the second reported case of multiple sclerosis developing after treatment of Cushing’s syndrome. A 42-year old man is reported who presented with bone fracture and...

multiple sclerosis (ms) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. it is a clinically heterogeneous disorder especially in terms of disease severity. current investigations suggest that genes and gene-gene interactions not only influence on susceptibility to ms but also affect the disease severity. in this study, we investigated the contribution of the hladrb1*1501 ...

results when the two ms groups were compared together, we found that cr was significantly increased (p value=0.008) and naa/cr was significantly decreased (p value=0.03) in non-enhancing lesions in ppms compared with rrms. there was no significant difference in naa, cho or naa/cho between the two ms subtypes. conclusion mrs is a potential way to differentiate ppms and rrms. objectives we compar...

background: cognitive  impairment  is one of the  most crucial disorders  among  multiple  sclerosis (ms) patients. since  ms  is  an inflammatory disease   and   boswellia papyrifera has anti-inflammatory effects, the influence of b. papyrifera  on  cognitive  impairment   in  ms patients   has been investigated  in the present study. methods: in this clinical trial, 80 ms patients  who referr...
