Clinical characteristics of progressive relapsing multiple sclerosis.
OBJECTIVE Patients with progressive relapsing (PR) multiple sclerosis (MS) may accrue disability by incomplete recovery from acute exacerbations and by ongoing deterioration. In primary progressive (PP) MS, disability accumulates solely by continuous decline. Because it is the least common form of MS, there is scant information regarding the clinical characteristics of PRMS, but relapses are re...
متن کاملDemonstration of a lexical access deficit in relapsing-remitting and secondary progressive forms of multiple sclerosis.
The commonly used test to evaluate naming ability in multiple sclerosis (MS) is the Boston Naming Test (BNT). In previous studies the BNP has not shown any specific deficit in MS patients. The BNT score is obtained by adding spontaneously correct answers to correct answers obtained after semantic and phonological clues are given. Our hypothesis was that due to a lexical access deficit based on ...

متن کاملThalamic Iron Differentiates Primary-Progressive and Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Potential differences between primary progressive and relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis are the subject of ongoing controversial discussions. The aim of this work was to determine whether and how primary-progressive and relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis subtypes differ regarding conventional MR imaging parameters, cerebral iron deposits, and their association wi...
متن کاملGenetic difference between relapsing and primary progressive Multiple Sclerosis
HLA-association in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) has repeatedly been confirmed. In this study we used allelic and haplotype association analysis and haplotype sharing analysis to investigate whether differences exist between patients with relapsing-remitting (RR) or secondary progressive (SP) and primary progressive (PP) MS. We studied 194 RR-/SP-MS and 63 PP-MS haplotypes, using 27 microsatellite ma...
