conclusions post-vaccination encephalomyelitis is a very rare side effect of mencevax acwy. introduction post-vaccination encephalomyelitis is an inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system. it is triggered by certain vaccines. the diagnosis of post-vaccination encephalomyelitis depends on the close temporal relationship between vaccination and clinical presentation. case presentation w...

abstract objective this article reports on an 5-month-old infant who was admitted to our hospital for prolonged fever, focal status epilepticus and encephalopathy. brain magnetic resonance imaging (mri) demonstrated a single hyperintense lesion in right putamen in t2-weighted images. a diagnosis of acute disseminated encephalomyelitis was made based on the clinical features, treatment response ...

results our data showed that the eae induction in group one was significantly more successful than group two (with the mean score > 3). conclusions although the eae is still a scientific method to induce ms in rodents, it requires more attention to environmental factors that might influence the result. the mechanisms of these factors are unknown, but it seems that the role of housing environmen...

The inverse relationship of multiple sclerosis to sunlight exposure was proposed at least 50 years ago but conclusive evidence is unavailable. Since the proposal made, many researchers have jumped conclusion vitamin D mediates this effect. Vitamin a pro-hormone produced in skin by ultraviolet irradiation and/or sun exposure. In addition, an between plasma levels metabolite, 25(OH)D3, and reduce...

Avian Encephalomyelitis (AE) is the disease caused by avian encephalomyelitis virus (AEV). The mainly affects young birds nervous system worldwide causing high morbidity and variable mortality rate in chicks noticed egg dropping hatchability mature hens. Vaccination only way to control AEV infection since there no treatment yet encephalomyelitis. This study aimed use immunoinformatics approache...

In this study antibodies against avian encephalomyelitis virus was detected by indirect ELISA to test for prevalence of avian encephalomyelitis infection in commercial layer belt of Tamil Nadu. A total of 920 sera samples were collected from different age groups of commercial layers. A total seropositivity of avian encephalomyelitis virus was 79.35% and seropositivity of chicks, growers and lay...

OBJECTIVES To research the effects of transplanting mesenchymal stem cells on the development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and the mechanism behind it. MATERIALS AND METHODS An experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis animal model was induced by injection of the MOG peptide, and mesenchymal stem cell injection was done 20 and 22 days after experimental autoimmune encephalomye...

The possibility that acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) and epidemic myalgic encephalomyelitis ('epidemic neuromyasthenia') may share a common pathogenesis is examined and many factors common to the two diseases are described. It is suggested that further study of ADEM may help our understanding of epidemic myalgic encephalomyelitis.

Multiple sclerosis involves demyelination and axonal degeneration of the central nervous system. The molecular mechanisms of axonal degeneration are relatively unexplored in both multiple sclerosis and its mouse model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. We previously reported that targeting the axonal growth inhibitor, Nogo-A, may protect against neurodegeneration in experimental autoim...
