CSF pleocytosis was present in 28% (27/96; p   0.000001 vs. MS) and elevated CSF total protein levels in 41% (31/76) of samples. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Case Presentation A 25-year-old left-handed Caucasian female presented to the emergency department of our hospital with acute onset of dysarthria and slight right-arm weakness which she noticed upon waking up in the morning. [doi.org]

Methods: A 10-year-old-boy presented a complex-focal seizure and secondary generalization. He vomited and his mimic was asymmetric. Blood and CSF examinations yielded normal results including negative oligoclonal bands. [thieme-connect.com]

The presentation can be similar to other forms of multiple sclerosis, although it is usually monophasic, most closely resembling acute Marburg type multiple sclerosis, with rapid progression and sometimes fulminant course 4,8,9. [radiopaedia.org]

Equally important, the workup of these patients has not been performed in a uniform manner. This includes the clinical and imaging examinations, the collection of paraclinical data and their follow-up. [slideheaven.com]

All CSF parameters evaluated in this study are routinely tested in Germany as part of the diagnostic workup of patients with suspected MS in Germany and are recommended by the guidelines of the German Society of Neurology and by the guidelines of the [doi.org]

We started treatment with a bolus of 1 g methylprednisolone daily. The patient was responding favourably to treatment by the third day and was discharged after 5 days of treatment due to symptom resolution. [elsevier.es]

Treatment to relieve symptoms, such as spasticity, weakness, pain, or ataxia, includes pharmacologic and rehabilitative modalities. What About Disease Modifying Treatments? Click To Enlarge Balos’ concentric sclerosis is quite rare. [msunites.com]

In addition to providing up-to-date information on pharmacological therapies for MS, the book also describes an array of non-pharmacological treatment options. [books.google.de]

However, data from randomized, controlled treatment trials are lacking, and so far it is unclear which approach is the most promising. [doi.org]

Scientists used to believe that the prognosis was similar to Marburg multiple sclerosis, but now they know that patients can survive, or even have spontaneous remission and asymptomatic cases. [1] It is also common that the clinic course is primary progressive [wikidoc.org]

Recognizing the characteristic MRI pattern of BCS can aid in early diagnosis and treatment, ultimately improving prognosis. The views expressed in this material are those of the author, and do not reflect the official policy or position of the U.S. [jaocr.org]

At present, this entity is easier to diagnose and treat in its early stages thanks to MRI. 2 However, the pathophysiology of BCS is still to be determined and there is no consensus on the most suitable treatment in acute stages or in the long term. [elsevier.es]

Pathophysiology The lesions of the Balo sclerosis belong to the MS lesion pattern III (distal oligodendrogliopathy). [6] Balo concentric sclerosis is now believed to be a variant of pattern III multiple sclerosis. [7] According with Dr. [ipfs.io]

“We’d be able to develop therapies and treatments to prevent MS… [and] come up with a vaccine against epsilon toxin to prevent that damage from happening,” Linden said. [foxnews.com]

Tissue preconditioning is a natural process by which the brain mounts protective measures to prevent further damage. [news-medical.net]

Dr Susan Kohlhaas, Head of Biomedical Research at the MS Society, said: "Discovering potential causes or triggers for MS could enable us to develop better treatments or even, one day, prevent the condition. [bbc.co.uk]
