内容説明

This volume in the distinguished "Advances in Neurology" series focuses on multiple sclerosis and related demyelinating diseases. An international group of experts examines recent developments in diagnosis, treatment, and other aspects of clinical management. The latest cutting-edge research on the causes and mechanisms of these diseases is also discussed. The coverage includes detailed discussions on new diagnostic methods and the role of neuroimaging in diagnosis. Chapters present evidence-based treatment protocols and review current clinical testing of new therapies.

  • 5 photos/diagrams Biology of MS: This section will discuss the current knowledge regarding the function of oligodendrocytes, their derivision from precursor cells, their properties (mostly from in vitro studies) and the potential for regeneration. Additionally, some studies are examining the genes that govern their differentiation, growth and function, .

  • 3 photos/diagrams Pathophysiology This section will examine the contributions from animal models that has led to proven concepts in the human disease and some of the proposed autoimmune mechanisms believed to play a role and are amenable to treatment. Animal models-Proposed author: Moses Rodriguez. 30 manuscript pages including tables and references
  • 4 photos/diagrams Human Immune Studies-Proposed author: Amit Bar-Or. 30 manuscript pages including tables and references
  • 4 photos/diagrams Diagnosis and Differential Diagnosis There are now accepted criteria that involve clinical, MRI and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis to define 'definite' vs. 'possible' MS. The section on MS Mimics will address the number of conditions that could look like MS and even fulfill the criteria but need to therefore be differentiated.

  • 5 photos/diagrams The Role of MRI A separate volume alone could be devoted to this topic, so the salient features only will be sought from the almost two decades of research put into this area. Newer areas in development that allow for better visualization of myelin vs. axonal elements, gray matter disease and atrophy will all be addressed.
