Cerebral blood perfusion changes in multiple sclerosis.
The proximity of immune cell aggregations to the vasculature is a hallmark of multiple sclerosis. Furthermore, it is widely accepted that inflammation is able to modulate the microcirculation. Until recently, the detection of cerebral blood perfusion changes was technically challenging, and perfusion studies in multiple sclerosis patients yielded contradictory results. However, new developments...
متن کاملAbnormalities of cerebral perfusion in multiple sclerosis.
BACKGROUND Measuring perfusion provides a potential indication of metabolic activity in brain tissue. Studies in multiple sclerosis (MS) have identified areas of decreased perfusion in grey matter (GM) and white matter (WM), but the pattern in clinical subgroups is unclear. OBJECTIVES This study investigated perfusion changes in differing MS clinical subgroups on or off beta-interferon therap...
متن کاملChanges in cerebral perfusion precede plaque formation in multiple sclerosis: a longitudinal perfusion MRI study.
New MRI techniques such as the analysis of magnetization transfer or diffusion have provided evidence for subtle progressive alterations in tissue integrity prior to focal leakage of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) as part of plaque formation in multiple sclerosis. Since inflammation is capable of modulating the microcirculation, we investigated the hypothesis that changes in the local perfusion ...
متن کاملPsychological Changes in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis
Introduction: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) as a stressful event, despite causing negative psychological changes, may lead to positive ones as well. Objective: This study was mainly conducted to examine the implications of posttraumatic growth and demoralization and also to determine the relationship between them in patients with MS. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, in which...
متن کاملCerebral Blood Flow Influence of Changes in Blood Pressure on Cerebral Perfusion and Oxygenation
Cerebral autoregulation (CA) is a critical process for the maintenance of cerebral blood flow and oxygenation. Assessment of CA is frequently used for experimental research and in the diagnosis, monitoring, or prognosis of cerebrovascular disease; however, despite the extensive use and reference to static CA, a valid quantification of “normal” CA has not been clearly identified. While controlli...
