multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune cns-disease characterized by inflammatory neurodegenerative events occurring with de- and remyelination. recent evidence show that demyelinated neurons are less excitable than myelinated ones while at early stages of remyelination these neurons seem to be hyperexcitable. the latter is a transitory condition that, very likely, leads to impaired neuronal networ...

results when the two ms groups were compared together, we found that cr was significantly increased (p value=0.008) and naa/cr was significantly decreased (p value=0.03) in non-enhancing lesions in ppms compared with rrms. there was no significant difference in naa, cho or naa/cho between the two ms subtypes. conclusion mrs is a potential way to differentiate ppms and rrms. objectives we compar...

multiple sclerosis (ms) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (cns) which causes demyelination of the nerve fibers. the etiology of this disease is not well understood but it is believed that t helpers play a central role in ms. numerous findings support the view that th17 cells play an essential role in pathogenesis of ms and il-17 secreting t (th17) cells have a role in infla...
