IL-1 signal affects both protection and pathogenesis of virus-induced chronic CNS demyelinating disease

open access: yesJournal of Neuroinflammation, 2012
Background Theiler’s virus infection induces chronic demyelinating disease in mice and has been investigated as an infectious model for multiple sclerosis (MS).

Quantitative Comparison of Multi‐Echo Spin Echo and Multi‐Echo Gradient Echo Myelin Water Imaging in a Panel of Mbp Enhancer‐Edited Mouse Lines

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To evaluate the correspondence between myelin water fraction (MWF) estimates derived from multi‐echo spin echo (MESE) and multi‐echo gradient echo (MGRE) imaging in fixed mouse brain tissue, using a panel of myelin basic protein (Mbp) enhancer‐edited mouse lines exhibiting graded hypomyelination.

Multiple sclerosis and herpesvirus interaction

open access: yesArquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2013
Multiple sclerosis is the most common autoimmune inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, and its etiology is believed to have both genetic and environmental components.

Assessment of Optimal T1/T2‐Weighted Combinations for Myelin Sensitivity: Effects of Echo Time and Exponents

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose The aim of this study is to improve the traditional T1‐weighted (T1w) over T2‐weighted (T2w) ratio as a proxy for myelin by investigating the optimal T2w TE and combination of exponent‐weighted T1w and T2w images (T1wx1/T2wx2$$ \mathrm{T}1{\mathrm{w}}^{x_1}/\mathrm{T}2{\mathrm{w}}^{x_2} $$).

Nerve Ultrasound in Patients With Friedreich Ataxia

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Nerve enlargement has been reported in patients with Friedreich ataxia (FRDA). The underlying cause remains unclear, and both inflammatory processes and dysmyelination have been suggested as potential mechanisms. This study was aimed at assessing nerve morphology with high‐resolution ultrasound, to identify and describe ...

Neurological Peculiarities of POEMS Syndrome: Experience From a Brazilian University Center

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal protein, and skin changes (POEMS) syndrome is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome associated with significant neurologic morbidity. Better understanding of the manifestations of this disease is crucial to early diagnosis and improvement of prognosis.

Optimal Site of the Reference Electrode for Recording the Compound Muscle Action Potential of the Deltoid Muscle

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims For recording the compound muscle action potential (CMAP) of the deltoid muscle, the reference electrode over the acromion (Ac) has been used to avoid contamination of responses from other arm muscles to the distal tendon (DT). A recent article recommended the sternum (St) as the reference electrode.

Practical Approach to Managing SCIg Treatment in Patients With Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Guidelines for the management of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) recommend corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg), or plasma exchange for first‐line therapies and subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIg) as a maintenance option.

Dynamics of Nerve Conduction Studies in Patients With Guillain–Barré Syndrome

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims The value of electrodiagnostic subtyping of Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) is still debated. This study aimed to determine the diagnostic yield, timing, and changes of the electrodiagnostic subtyping in patients with GBS in serial nerve conduction studies (NCS).
