Navigating Identity and Resilience: Supporting Black Women With Multiple Sclerosis

Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Black women with multiple sclerosis developed and maintained cultural expectations of strength, self‐reliance, and caregiving known as superwoman schema (SWS) while also navigating their disability identity. The SWS framework guided this study and highlighted unique factors that contributed to the help‐seeking behaviors of Black women.

Dysregulation of Monounsaturated Fatty Acids is Related to α‐Synuclein in Multiple System Atrophy

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a neurodegenerative disease pathologically characterized by the presence of glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCI) composed of α‐synuclein aggregates. In Parkinson's disease, increases in monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) in phospholipid membranes promote α‐synuclein binding, aggregation, and toxicity ...

Diffusion Tensor Imaging of Fetuses With Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate differences in diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters in the brain between fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and age‐matched controls. Method This retrospective IRB‐approved study included fetal MRIs for CDH and gestational age (GA) matched controls with lung pathology other than CDH with normal fetal ...

Characterization of the axon initial segment (AIS) of motor neurons and identification of a para-AIS and a juxtapara-AIS, organized by protein 4.1B

BMC Biology, 2011
Background The axon initial segment (AIS) plays a crucial role: it is the site where neurons initiate their electrical outputs. Its composition in terms of voltage-gated sodium (Nav) and voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels, as well as its length and ...

The modelling of the action potentials in myelinated nerve fibres [PDF]

arXiv
The classical Hodgkin-Huxley model describes the propagation of an axon potential (AP) in unmyelinated axons. In many cases the axons have a myelin sheath and the experimental studies have then revealed significant changes in the velocity of APs. In this paper, a theoretical model is proposed describing the AP propagation in myelinated axons. As far as

Studies on cultured Schwann cells: the induction of myelin synthesis, and the control of their proliferation by a new growth factor [PDF]

, 1981
We have recently described the use of immunological methods to identify and purify rat Schwann cells. In dissociated cultures of neonatal sciatic nerve, all of the cells can be identified by antigenic criteria as either Schwann cells or fibroblasts.

Docosahexaenoic acid ameliorates autistic‐like behaviors by inhibiting oxidative stress and inflammatory response in neonatal maternal separation rats

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
The JNK pathway and oxidative stress are activated, and pro‐inflammatory cytokines are increased in neonatal maternal separation (NMS) rats. While docosahexaenoic acid treatment suppresses the activation of JNK pathway and oxidative stress, and reduces pro‐inflammatory cytokines release, thereby improving autism‐like behavior induced by NMS.

Role of fenofibrate in multiple sclerosis

European Journal of Medical Research
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most frequent inflammatory and demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS). The underlying pathophysiology of MS is the destruction of myelin sheath by immune cells.
