Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a degenerative disease of central nervous system. MS patients have some dead tissues in their brains called MS lesions. MRI is an imaging technique sensitive to soft tissues such as brain that shows MS lesions as hyper-intense or hypo-intense signals. Since manual segmentation of these lesions is a laborious and time consuming task, automatic segmentation ...
متن کاملMAKING AN EXPERIMENTAL ANIMAL MODEL FOR MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
To understand the mechanism of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), an autoimmune demyelinating disease, the researchers developed an experimental animal model for MS, which is called EAE (Experimental Allergic Encephalomyelitis). There are several methods for inducing this animal model. In this research the active EAE, which is developed by injecting bovine myelin antigens into genetically susceptibl...
متن کاملRepeated Administration of Mercury Accelerates Progression of Multiple Sclerosis through Mitochondrial Dysfunction
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative and autoimmune disease that it’s molecular etiology and factors involving in its progression remains unknown. In this study for evaluation effect of mercuric on progression of MS we investigated the additive effect of mercuric sulfide on the brain mitochondrial dysfunction in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model of MS in C57BL/6 mi...

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, autoimmune, and inflammatory nervous system disease. It leads to the loss of myelin in the white matter of brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. As a chronic disease with sudden and unpredictable Side effects and complications of the disease will lead to disability and dependency in life. Causes neurologic symptoms and sig. The purpose of the p...
