Abstract:

Background: Pain is frequently reported by people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It has been associated with decreased quality of life, psychiatric morbidity, interference with day to day activities, and frequent healthcare attendance. It has been reported by people with multiple sclerosis to be one of their most important symptoms, and available treatments are limited in their effectiveness. Despite this, our understanding of the epidemiology and mechanisms of pain in people with MS are limited. Our understanding of the interactions of central nervous system mechanisms and pain states overall

Abstract:

This qualitative study explored the psychosocial experiences of children and adolescents with early-onset multiple sclerosis. In particular, an emphasis was placed on examing peer relationships and social behaviours in relation to these experiences. MS is a chronic neurological disease primarily affecting young adults. However, a proportion of MS patients have onset during childhood and adolescence. Very little is know about the psychosocial impact of MS on these children and adolescents. In particular, youth with MS may be at risk for negative peer experiences due to their chronic illness. Pr

Abstract:

The glycosylation features of CSF oligoclonal IgG, and possible changes in N-glycans of CSF IgG in multiple sclerosis (MS) were studied. After isoelectric focusing (IEF) of CSF, bands were detected using biotinylated lectins and avidin-horseradish peroxidase. Concanavalin A (Con A) binding showed that mannose exists throughout the pH range of oligoclonal IgG. Sambucus nigra antigen (SNA) bound acidic and neutral oligoclonal IgG only, suggesting that alkaline oligoclonal IgG is deficient in sialic acid. Deglycosylation of CSF IgG using peptide-N-glycosidase F suggested that the range of isoelec

Interleukin-1 (IL- 1) alpha and beta are cytokines involved in recruitment of inflammatory cells, the process of inflammation, and blood-brain barrier breakdown and nerve regeneration.

Abstract:

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system characterized by inflammation and demyelination. In addition to these hallmark features, MS also presents with axonal pathology, which is likely responsible for the signs and symptoms of the disease. Although prominent in MS, axonal pathology is frequently considered a consequence of demyelination and not a primary event. This conclusion is consistent with demyelination inducing the loss of specific axonal domains, known as the nodes of Ranvier that are responsible for the propagation of action potentials along the

Around 32% of disease risk is due to genetic factors; HLA-DR has the strongest association with MS. Other MS risk genes of interest here are CD40, a member of the TNFR superfamily, transcription factors ZFP36L2, EOMES and TBX2, the transcription factor regulator ZMIZ1, and RPS6KB1, which phosphorylates rib

Abstract:

Pain is an important part of MS symptomatology. Studies, with other pain populations, suggest distress is associated with pain. However, models of the influence of psychological factors on pain have not been carefully applied and tested with the MS population. The hypothesis was: many patients do not classify much of their sensory disturbance as pain due to their conceptual framework and this may affect the relationship between pain and distress. A model of these factors was developed for MS patients. A clinic sample of MS patients, expected to have varying degrees of subjective pain, was recr

Discounting trauma, MS is the most common chronic neurological condition resulting in disability affecting young adults. In its typical form it primarily affects the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves and is characterised by lesions in the central ne

Nerverna i det centrala nervsystemet påverkar många olika funktioner och eftersom myelinet som omsluter nervfibrerna blir inflammerat på olika ställen, både i hjärnan och i ryggmärgen, uppkommer olika typer av symptom.

Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva hur personer med MS-fatigue upplever upplägg och innehåll i FM-kursen, samt vilken betydelse de upplever att kursen haft för deras möjligheter att hantera sin MS-fatigue i vardagen. En kvalitativ metod med semistrukturerade intervjuer användes. Data är analyserad med riktad kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultatet visade att deltagarna upplevde att kursen var lärorik men ansträngande. Samtidigt gav kursen dem kunskap och strategier för att hantera MS-fatigue i vardagen. Huvudfyndet anses vara hur deltagarna upplever kursen stöttat dem hantera MS-fatiguen

Abstract:

This thesis was concerned with determining the scope, nature and impact of pain on quality of life (QOL) among a community-based sample of people with multiple sclerosis (MS). An analysis of the research literature on pain in MS reveals that pain is a significant problem which has historically been underinvestigated and is currently poorly understood. The vast majority of the published literature consists of prevalence studies, descriptive research and clinical reports. Where available, empirical data are often limited by methodological and analytical problems such that substantive conclusions

Abstract:

Background and aims: full-field visual evoked potentials (ff-VEPs) are used as an indicator of demyelination, with multifocal technique (mf-VEPs) allowing to assess conduction for separate portions of the visual field. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is used instead as a marker of neuro-axonal loss. We explored the value of these techniques and their relations with clinical measures in multiple sclerosis (MS)-related acute optic neuritis (aON) and in progressive MS (PMS). Material and methods: aON substudy - 48 MS or clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) patients with a first aON episode in th

Abstract:

Thesis (M.Sc (Radiography))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2016.<br>Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects the central nervous system (CNS) and is characterized by multiple demyelinating lesions. It is in this context that a need arises for reliable biomarkers such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), which could lead to the early diagnosis and therapeutic intervention when maximum potential impact is possible. This study examines the impact of MRI as a marker and the sequences that give the best images to aid in evaluation of disease progression (which can indirectly be seen as

Abstract:

Many non-invasive imaging instruments have been developed in the last 40 years, allowing to obtain images of the interior human body while the patient is still alive. In the contest of Neurology studies, imaging system as CT, MRI, SPECT or PET allows to obtain biomarkers useful to quantitatively distinguish between healthy and unhealthy subjects, evaluate the staging of a Neurological illness in a patient, evaluate the efficacy of a treatment, explore the causes of the illness. In this work MRI and PET imaging system introduced from scratch, going from reconstruction from raw data to state-of

Abstract:

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, autoimmune, and demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. Exercise has shown to be an effective treatment; however, those with MS often do not adhere to the recommended exercise guidelines. Our study investigated the feasibility of a remote exercise program embedded with behaviour change to increase exercise participation (primary outcome) and adherence among persons with MS and improve MS symptomatology and quality of life (secondary outcomes). Methods: Thirty-six adults with mild to moderate MS were stratified according to previo
