Multiple sclerosis (MS) is difficult to diagnose, and, as yet, it has no cure. However, according to new research, it may be possible to slow its progression without some of the health risks associated with current treatments. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/327113
A new study has shown that drinking hot chocolate daily could help to reduce fatigue and tiredness among people suffering from MS (multiple sclerosis). The results of this new study were published in the latest issue of the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20190306/Cocoa-can-benefit-patients-with-multiple-sclerosis.asp
Researchers from the University of British Columbia and Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute have found that a widely prescribed drug for multiple sclerosis (MS) is associated with longer survival for patients. The study, published today in the journal Brain, found that people with MS who took a beta interferon drug had a 32 per cent
What do brain lesions mean in multiple sclerosis? Magnetic resonance imaging is an important diagnostic tool for multiple sclerosis because it produces images of lesions in the brain and spinal cord. These lesions can appear as the condition progresses, and they may have a bearing on the symptoms that occur. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/323976.php
What to know about itching and MS Multiple sclerosis is a condition that affects the central nervous system. Its symptoms affect the nerves and can cause dysesthesia, or abnormal sensations such as burning, numbness, or itching. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/323838.php
Nerve cells stripped of their insulation can no longer carry vital information, leading to the numbness, weakness and vision problems often associated with multiple sclerosis. A new study shows an overlooked source may be able to replace that lost insulation and provide a new way to treat diseases like MS. Cells called neurons make
New research, published in the journal Nature Immunology, now shows how a high intake of salt may cause inflammation in multiple sclerosis. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/323558.php
Mapping of a certain group of cells, known as oligodendrocytes, in the central nervous system of a mouse model of multiple sclerosis (MS), shows that they might have a significant role in the development of the disease. The discovery can lead to new therapies targeted at other areas than just the immune system. The results
Where a protein is expressed can influence its action. University of Pennsylvania researchers and colleagues have identified one that plays a key role in getting the body back to normal after inflammation. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20181120/Location-matters-for-inflammation-clearance.aspx
MS: Iron levels in brain ‘predict disability’ Mapping iron levels in the brain with a noninvasive scan could help identify multiple sclerosis patients at higher risk of future physical disability.
