Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune demyelinating disease characterized by inflammation of white matter in the central nervous system. It has been indicated that this causes increased levels proinflammatory cytokines. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate if there possible association between inflammatory markers and Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score patients with MS.We reviewed data 127 (91 women 36 men) who were retrospectively diagnosed as MS according revised Mc...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system that widely accepted to result from complex interplay genetic and environmental factors. The involvement clusterin in neurodegenerative autoimmune diseases has been highlighted, but its role MS remains unclear. This study aimed investigate association four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) gene (CLU) with susceptibility. group consisted 310 patients RRMS (pwRRMS) controls. 25 treatment-naïve...

The role of atherosclerosis in ischemic stroke has been intensively investigated recent years, and homocysteine (Hcy) lipoprotein(a) Lp(a) were found to have roles during the process. This study aims investigate relationship between acute Hcy levels determine prognosis functional disability. Forty-one patients with 33 controls included study. examined both groups. modified Rankin scale (MRS) scores at discharge first third months determined establish disability patients. In stroke,...

By comparing neurocognitive test results from patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and those simple snoring, we aimed to establish whether OSAS negatively influences cognition. Patients mild-to-severe (n = 29) nonhypoxic simple-snoring 30) were admitted the study. All participants in both groups evaluated polysomnography tests, including Stroop Test, Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Judgment of Line Orientation, Trail-Making Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT). Significant...

Alterations in blink reflex excitability may occur the contralateral side (CLS) and symptomatic after peripheral facial palsy (PFP). In this study, alterations of CLS were evaluated cases with PFP who showed "three different types" recovery. For purpose, R2 response area recovery curve evaluated. The study included 51 patients suffering from 20 age- sex-matched healthy controls. Cases divided into three groups: partially cured accompanied by synkinesis (postfacial syndrome), residual...

Abstract Continuous‐flow left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) reduce peak systolic flow, increase diastolic and eliminate pulsatility of circulation. Altered blood flow may lead to a change in end‐organ perfusion. Analysis the dynamics arteries end organs, such as brain, indicate whether an organ is perfused sufficiently. The aim this study evaluate identify pattern changes carotid (CA) middle cerebral (MCA) LVAD patients compare with heart failure healthy volunteers. Eighty‐nine...

Abstract This study aimed to assess the possible association between cognitive impairment and two important biochemical biomarkers of oxidative stress, thiol‐disulfide homeostasis (TDH), ischemia‐modified albumin (IMA) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). included 85 MS (38 treatment‐naïve relapsing–remitting (RRMS), 31 RRMS on fingolimod therapy, 16 secondary progressive (SPMS)) 33 healthy controls. Cognitive evaluation was carried out by applying Brief International Assessment for...

Introduction Osmophobia is hypersensitivity to certain odors. Although osmophobia a symptom related migraine, it also reported in tension-type headache (TTH). recommended for inclusion the migraine diagnostic criteria because increases sensitivity and shows absolute specificity. However, there no evidence of association between TTH osmophobia. This study aimed evaluate prevalence clinical characteristics cohort patients.

Objective: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory, autoimmune, demyelinating disease characterized by multifocal inflammation, progressive myelin loss and consequent axonal demyelination. Pathogenic mechanisms of MS are oligodendrocyte damage as a result leukocyte chemotaxis to central nervous system production inflammatory mediators, demyelination neuronal injury. CXCL12 (SDF-1 alpha) basic chemokine which chemoattractant for resting activated T cells. We aimed evaluate whether levels...
