MRI in multiple sclerosis: correlation with expanded disability status scale (EDSS)
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is very sensitive in showing disseminated MS lesions. Subclinical MR progression occurs frequently, explaining why MR is now used to monitor treatment, even without measurable consequences, of new MR lesions to the patient at this moment. In the light of this clinico-radiological paradox, the significance of MR in MS is

Expanded Disability Status Scale Calculator for Handheld Personal Digital Assistant: Reliability Study [PDF]
Through a standard neurological examination, the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score is traditionally determined by a pen-and-paper method. The objectives of this study were to compare the interrater/method reliability of EDSS scores obtained through the pen-and-paper method with those obtained with the EDSS Calculator, evaluate test-retest ...

Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) estimation in multiple sclerosis from posturographic data [PDF]
Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) is the most widely used clinical scale to evaluate levels of multiple sclerosis (MS). As MS can lead to disruptions in the regulation of balance and the disability can be evaluated by force platform posturography, we have developed in this study a new strategy to estimate EDSS from posturographic data.

Is it safe for Multiple Sclerosis patients to fast? [PDF]
Ramadan fasting predispose multiple sclerosis (MS) patients to a great challenge. Clinicians should have practical knowledge about the effects of fasting on MS. A mini-symposium was held in 2013 to answer the common questions about fasting in MS patients.

Brain atrophy at onset and physical disability in multiple sclerosis
The aim of this study was to investigate if brain atrophy in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients during the disease onset predicts long term disability. METHODS: MS patients with follow-up time of at least 7 years from disease onset and with baseline and ...
