Estimating Typical Multiple Sclerosis Disability Progression Speed from Clinical Observations
INTRODUCTION Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the central nervous system. Estimates of MS natural history (NH) disability progression speed from clinical observations vary worldwide. This may reflect, in part, variance in censoring-bias) (missing observations) and assumptions about when irreversible disability progression events occurred. We test whether estimates of progression ...
متن کاملImpairment, disability and fatigue in multiple sclerosis
Background: Identifying the predictors of pain is important for both health professionals and researchers, because pain has repeatedly been found to be a strong predictor of activity limitations and participation restrictions. The objective of this study was to determine the predictors of pain presence and severity in a large, well-designed sample of community dwelling individuals with multip...
متن کاملAssociation Between Sunlight Exposure and Vitamin D Intake and Multiple Sclerosis Disability and Progression
Background: Some studies on Multiple Sclerosis (MS) have suggested that adequate vitamin D intake can modulate the course of MS and decreases its incidence. However, there are limited studies with conflicting findings on the relation between MS severity, its course, and vitamin D intake. Objectives: The current study aimed to compare vitamin D intake and sunlight exposure between MS phenotype...
متن کاملEffect of APOE ε4 allele on survival and fertility in an adverse environment
BACKGROUND The apolipoprotein-ε4 allele (APOE-ε4) is strongly associated with detrimental outcomes in affluent populations including atherosclerotic disease, Alzheimer's disease, and reduced lifespan. Despite these detrimental outcomes, population frequencies of APOE-ε4 are high. We hypothesize that the high frequency of APOE-ε4 was maintained because of beneficial effects during evolution when...
متن کاملFrequency Specific Effects of ApoE ε4 Allele on Resting-State Networks in Nondemented Elders
We applied resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine the Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) ε4 allele effects on functional connectivity of the default mode network (DMN) and the salience network (SN). Considering the frequency specific effects of functional connectivity, we decomposed the brain network time courses into two bands: 0.01-0.027 Hz and 0.027-0.08 Hz. All scans wer...
