INTRODUCTION Sexual dysfunction (SD) is prevalent in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and affects quality of life. Furthermore, lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) is common in MS patients. AIMS This study aims to evaluate the relationship between SD, neurological disability, depression, anxiety, and urodynamic alterations in patients with MS and LUTD. METHODS From January 2011 to Septem...

BACKGROUND While disease categories (i.e. clinical phenotypes) of multiple sclerosis (MS) are established, there remains MRI heterogeneity among patients within those definitions. MRI-defined lesions and atrophy show only moderate inter-correlations, suggesting that they represent partly different processes in MS. We assessed the ability of MRI-based categorization of cerebral lesions and atrop...

introduction: this study aims to compare the cognitive performance of patients with multiple sclerosis (ms) in the field of autobiographical, prospective and working memory compared to normal people. method: in a causal-comparative study using convenience sampling 200 patients with ms (100 were affected less and 100 were affected more than 2 years (and 100 healthy individuals were matched regar...

Gray matter (GM) damage, in terms of focal lesions, “diffuse” tissue injury, and atrophy is a well-known feature of multiple sclerosis (MS). Recently, T1-hyperintensity on unenhanced T1-weighted sequences has been found in the dentate nuclei of patients with MS with severe disability and high T2 lesion load. Such an abnormality has been interpreted as an additional sign of the neurodegenerative...

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of memory impairment and to explore the determinant factors of memory impairment severity in patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Neurology Center of Shafa Hospital in Kerman, Iran between February and November 2008 on 100 MS patients whose diseases were confirmed by a neurologist. Patients ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most common diseases of the central nervous system and usually occurs at the age when people would be expected to be in the prime of their sexual lives. In everyday practice, sexual dysfunction is underestimated because clinicians mostly concentrate on the classic neurologic deficits and often overlook symptoms that can seriously affect the quality of life....
