Influence of FK 506 (tacrolimus) on circulating CD4 + t cells expressing cd25 and cd45ra antigens in 19 patients with chronic progressive multiple sclerosis participating in an open label drug safety trial [PDF]
We have taken the opportunity of a clinical trial of the potential efficacy and safety of FK 506 (tacrolimus) in chronic progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) to examine the influence of this potent new immunosuppressant on circulating T-lymphocytes in an ...

Role of cellular senescence and NOX4-mediated oxidative stress in systemic sclerosis pathogenesis. [PDF]
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by progressive fibrosis of skin and numerous internal organs and a severe fibroproliferative vasculopathy resulting frequently in severe disability and high mortality.

X-ray Phase Contrast Tomography to assess the sequential evolution of multi-organ damage in an animal model of multiple sclerosis [PDF]
We use X-ray phase-contrast tomography (XPCT) in a multi-organ approach to identify early imaging markers predictive of multiple sclerosis (MS) in EAE animal model. As the majority of neurodegenerative diseases, MS is characterized by a progressive accumulation of biological deficits across different organs and systems.

Benchmarking Continuous Time Models for Predicting Multiple Sclerosis Progression [PDF]
Multiple sclerosis is a disease that affects the brain and spinal cord, it can lead to severe disability and has no known cure. The majority of prior work in machine learning for multiple sclerosis has been centered around using Magnetic Resonance Imaging scans or laboratory tests; these modalities are both expensive to acquire and can be unreliable ...

Otolaryngologic symptoms in multiple sclerosis: a review [PDF]
Many symptoms of multiple sclerosis may affect the ear, nose and throat. The most common otolaryngologic symptoms of multiple sclerosis are speech disorders, followed by sleep disorders, vertigo and disequilibrium, dysphagia, smell alterations, and ...

Peripheral blood biomarkers in multiple sclerosis. [PDF]
Multiple sclerosis is the most common autoimmune disorder affecting the central nervous system. The heteroge-neity of pathophysiological processes in MS contributes to the highly variable course of the disease and unpre-dictable response to therapies ...

Assessing clinical utility of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence approaches to analyze speech recordings in Multiple Sclerosis: A Pilot Study [PDF]
Background: An early diagnosis together with an accurate disease progression monitoring of multiple sclerosis is an important component of successful disease management. Prior studies have established that multiple sclerosis is correlated with speech discrepancies.

Synchrotron radiation microtomography of brain hemisphere and spinal cord of a mouse model of multiple sclerosis revealed a correlation between capillary dilation and clinical score [PDF]
Multiple sclerosis is a neurological disorder in which the myelin sheaths of axons are damaged by the immune response. We report here a three-dimensional structural analysis of brain and spinal cord tissues of a mouse model of multiple sclerosis, known as experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE).

Systemic Acrolein Elevations in Mice With Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis and Patients With Multiple Sclerosis [PDF]
Demyelination and axonal injury are the key pathological processes in multiple sclerosis (MS), driven by inflammation and oxidative stress. Acrolein, a byproduct and instigator of oxidative stress, has been demonstrated as a neurotoxin in experimental ...
