This study aimed assess the effects Acarbose and on diabetic rats induced with streptozotocin, evaluate their combined potential in treating Forty were divided into five groups, each eight...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system, often affecting visual pathways. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has emerged as valuable, non-invasive imaging tool for assessing neuroaxonal damage in MS. This study investigates retinal neurodegeneration MS patients, focusing on ganglion cell layer and inner plexiform (GCL+IPL) thinning, macular volume (MV), nerve fiber (RNFL) alterations, their correlation with clinical magnetic resonance (MRI)...
