The role of glial cells in neurodegenerative diseases. Part 2. Glial cells pathophysiology in neurodegeneration [PDF]
The proper operation of the nervous system is strongly dependent on the interactions between neurons and glial cells. Thus, the disturbance of their relationship leads to various neurological complications.

Psychiatric manifestations of multiple sclerosis and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis [PDF]
It is unusual for acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and multiple sclerosis to present as purely psychiatric disorders. We report five patients with such demyelinating diseases and symptoms of psychosis, depression or anxiety.

A number of viruses can initiate central nervous system (CNS) diseases that include demyelination as a major feature of neuropathology. In humans, the most prominent demyelinating diseases are progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, caused by JC ...

Coincident onset of multiple sclerosis and herpes simplex virus 1 encephalitis. a case report [PDF]
Background: Along with vitamin D, smoking, body mass index and others, Epstein Barr virus, other herpesviruses and human endogenous retroviruses represent plausible environmental risk factors for multiple sclerosis.

A Perspective of Coagulation Dysfunction in Multiple Sclerosis and in Experimental Allergic Encephalomyelitis [PDF]
A key role of both coagulation and vascular thrombosis has been reported since the first descriptions of multiple sclerosis (MS). Subsequently, the observation of a close concordance between perivascular fibrin(ogen) deposition and the occurrence of ...

Leptomeningitis in a person with radiologically isolated syndrome and latent tuberculosis. A case report with implications for clinical research [PDF]
A 39-year-old man, followed with serial MRI of CNS for a radiologically isolate syndrome (RIS, a recently described condition considered a subclinical form of MS), was hospitalized for the occurrence of a leptomeningitis. Routine blood tests and contrast

The role of glial cells in neurodegenerative diseases. Part 1. Characteristics and physiological functions [PDF]
The nervous system is composed of two dominant types of cells – neurons and glial cells. They differ from each other both morphologically and physiologically.
