Fall frequency is high in people with multiple sclerosis, above 50%. Multiple sclerosis affects not only the person having the disease but also their next of kin. READ MORE

2. Cyclic nucleotide signalling systems in vascular smooth muscle cells and immune system cells with special reference to phosphodiesterases PDE3 and PDE4
Abstract : The cyclic nucleotide signalling systems are important in vascular smooth muscle and in the immune system, and are of interest from a pharmacological point of view. Drugs which interfere with the cyclic nucleotide levels have profound effects on heart, blood vessels and airways and have actual or potential use in several important diseases, such as heart failure, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, asthma and autoimmune diseases.

3. Falls, fear of falling and falls self-efficacy among adults with multiple sclerosis
Abstract : Although falls are a major cause of morbidity and mortality among older adults and increasingly recognized as threat to the wellbeing of people living with chronic neurological conditions, fall prevention research involving people with multiple sclerosis (MS) is just emerging. The overall aim of this thesis was to generate new knowledge about fear of falling (FoF), fall-related injuries, and falls self-efficacy among middle aged and older adults with MS to inform development of occupational therapy interventions.

4. Balance control in people with multiple sclerosis : mechanisms, experiences, design and feasibility of an exercise trial
Abstract : Background: Everyday living entails navigating complex environments and perform-ing activities often requiring simultaneous motor and cognitive actions/tasks (dual-tasking). Disease-related impairments in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) often impact sensorimotor and cognitive functions, both of which may contribute to a vicious cycle of decreased mobility, muscular weakness, impaired balance control, walking limitation, falls, and fall-related injuries.

5. Retinal ganglion cell examination with Optical Coherence Tomography reflects physiological and pathological changes in the eye and the brain
Abstract : The retinal ganglion cell is situated in the inner retina and its axons, composing the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), leave the eye to form the optic nerve. These cells develop embryologically from the forebrain and later during development re-establish connections with different parts of the brain serving different purposes. READ MORE
