CSF profile in primary progressive multiple sclerosis: Re-exploring the basics
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to report the basic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) profile in patients with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS).

Routine CSF parameters and different indices of intrathecal immunoglobulin synthesis were evaluated. We assessed possible...
متن کاملPrimary-progressive multiple sclerosis.
About 10-15% of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) present with gradually increasing neurological disability, a disorder known as primary-progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS). Compared with relapse-onset multiple sclerosis, people with PPMS are older at onset and a higher proportion are men. Inflammatory white-matter lesions are less evident but diffuse axonal loss and microglial activation...
متن کاملPrimary progressive multiple sclerosis: progress and challenges.
Primary progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) has long been recognised as presenting great difficulties to our management of what is increasingly a treatable neurological disease. Here we review some basic and clinical aspects of primary progressive MS, and describe how the disorder in fact offers powerful insights and opportunities for better understanding multiple sclerosis, and from a practica...
متن کاملPrimary progressive multiple sclerosis takes centre stage.
M ultiple sclerosis (MS) remains an enigmatic disease. Not only is the cause unknown, but the last decade of work has led to uncertainty concerning some of the previously, most strongly held, convictions about the disease. Recently, attention has shifted from understanding demyelination to understanding how axons are injured. It has been attractive to hypothesise that axonal damage occurs with ...
متن کاملExploring recombinant human erythropoietin in chronic progressive multiple sclerosis.
The neurodegenerative aspects of chronic progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) have received increasing attention in recent years, since anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive treatment strategies have largely failed. However, successful neuroprotection and/or neuroregeneration in MS have not been demonstrated yet. Encouraged by the multifaceted neuroprotective effects of recombinant human eryth...
