Congenital Abnormalities and Multiple Sclerosis
BACKGROUND There is a strong maternal parent-of-origin effect in determining susceptibility to multiple sclerosis (MS). One hypothesis is that an abnormal intrauterine milieu leading to impaired fetal development could plausibly also result in increased susceptibility to MS. A possible marker for this intrauterine insult is the presence of a non-fatal congenital anomaly. METHODS We investigat...
متن کاملP-137: Sex Hormones Abnormalities and Female Sexual Dysfunction in Multiple Sclerosis Patients
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common cause of progressive neurological disability in young adults who may be sexually active. MS patients experience high levels of sexual dysfunction with hypoactive sexual behavior and abnormalities in hypothalamus- pituitary-gonad (HPG) axis. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the correlation between serum levels of sex hormones durin...
متن کاملVisual field abnormalities in multiple sclerosis.
Visual fields were examined with a tangent screen in 54 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) or optic neuritis (ON). Visual fields were abnormal in all patients with definite MS, 94% with probable MS and 81% with possible MS. Three-quarters of the MS patients with no history of visual symptoms had abnormal fields. The commonest defect found was an arcuate scotoma. As a diagnostic test of visua...
متن کاملColour vision abnormalities in multiple sclerosis.
A battery of colour vision tests was employed to evaluate visual function in patients with multiple sclerosis (M.S.). Colour deficits were found in 45% of patients tested with the Ishihara plates and 42.5% of patients tested with the FM 100-Hue test. 65% of M.S. patients failed at least one of the tests. The colour vision deficits were not restricted to patients with optic neuritis or with visu...
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...
