  2. 16. Epidemiological and radiological aspects of multiple sclerosis

    Author : Anne-Marie Landtblom; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The first aim of this investigation was to analyse possible risk factors for multiple sclerosis (MS) with focus on animal contacts and occupational exposures, especially to organic solvents. Another aim was to search for specific features in solvent-exposed MS patients mainly by the radiological techniques magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 1 H MRS) and also by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis along with a disability scoring.

  4. 17. Multiple sclerosis : from genetic variants to biomarkers

    Author : Sahl Khalid Bedri; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common chronic autoimmune and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS). MS is a debilitating disease that affects young adults, especially females. Why we develop MS? Is thought to be a consequence of our genes and the environment. READ MORE

  5. 18. Heritable modulators of the multiple sclerosis phenotype

    Author : Thomas Masterman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Studies of families in which more than one case of multiple sclerosis (MS) occurs have demonstrated that shared genetic and/or environmental factors appear to modify clinical features of the disease, including rate of progression and disease course. We undertook in the present project to determine to what extent selected genetic factors constitute heritable determinants of the MS phenotype. READ MORE

  6. 19. Linkage and association analysis in multiple sclerosis

    Author : Yamei Dai; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system, which is characterized by relapsing or progressive demyelinating plaques in the brain and spinal cord. It is well established that complex genetic factors influence susceptibility to MS. READ MORE

  7. 20. Biomarkers and viral risk factors in multiple sclerosis

    Author : Jesse Huang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease resulting in axonal injury and demyelination of nerve fibers in the central nervous system. The causal factor and pathological mechanisms governing disease progression have remained elusive, limiting the available clinical tools for MS diagnosis and treatment monitoring, particularly in the periphery.
