Blood exosome connexins and small RNAs related to demyelinating disease activity
Abstract Objectives To assess blood exosome (Ex)‐connexin (Cx)43 (encoded by GJA1) and its truncated isoforms in multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), which show distinct alterations in astroglial Cx43. Methods Serum Exs from 48 patients with MS (34 relapsing–remitting, 14 secondary‐progressive), 35 with NMOSD, 20 ...

Correlation of multiple sclerosis (MS) incidence trends with solar and geomagnetic indices: time to revise the method of reporting MS epidemiological data [PDF]
Background: Recently, we introduced solar related geomagnetic disturbances (GMD) as a potential environmental risk factor for multiple sclerosis (MS). The aim of this study was to test probable correlation between solar activities and GMD with long-term variations of MS incidence.

A Bibliography of Multiple Sclerosis Lesions Detection Methods using Brain MRIs [PDF]
Introduction: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease that affects millions of people across the globe. MS can critically affect different organs of the central nervous system such as the eyes, the spinal cord, and the brain. Background: To help physicians in diagnosing MS lesions, computer-aided methods are widely used.

An MRI assessment of mechanisms underlying lesion growth and shrinkage in multiple sclerosis
By applying the tensor model, we analysed lesion orientation and the directionality of lesion expansion/contraction in multiple sclerosis. Each lesion is summarized as an ellipsoid, and the tensor model is applied to calculate lesion anisotropy. From the top to the bottom white matter atlas, surface‐in gradient segmentation and venous atlas used in the

Communication about multiple sclerosis (MS) disease progression between healthcare professionals (HCPs) and people with MS (PwMS) has historically been considered difficult, and attention to improving it has been neglected.

Gait Assessment for Multiple Sclerosis Patients Using Microsoft Kinect [PDF]
Gait analysis of patients with neurological disorders, including multiple sclerosis (MS), is important for rehabilitation and treatment. The Mircrosoft Kinect sensor, which was developed for motion recognition in gaming applications, is an ideal candidate for an inexpensive system providing the capability for human gait analysis.

Multiple Sclerosis disease: a computational approach for investigating its drug interactions [PDF]
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic and potentially highly disabling disease that can cause permanent damage and deterioration of the central nervous system. In Europe it is the leading cause of non-traumatic disabilities in young adults, since more than 700,000 EU people suffer from MS. Although recent studies on MS pathophysiology have been provided,

Latent Space Analysis of VAE and Intro-VAE applied to 3-dimensional MR Brain Volumes of Multiple Sclerosis, Leukoencephalopathy, and Healthy Patients [PDF]
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and microvascular leukoencephalopathy are two distinct neurological conditions, the first caused by focal autoimmune inflammation in the central nervous system, the second caused by chronic white matter damage from atherosclerotic microvascular disease.

Participant recruitment into a randomised controlled trial of exercise therapy for people with multiple sclerosis [PDF]
The success of a clinical trial is often dependant on whether recruitment targets can be met in the required time frame. Despite an increase in research into the benefits of exercise in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS), no trial has reported ...
