MS

Dr. Saray Stancic's new documentary, Code Blue, is both a powerful indictment of health care today and a call to action. Read our interview with her here.

Scientists partially re-insulated ravaged nerves in mouse models of multiple sclerosis (MS) and restored limb mobility by treating the animals with a small non-coding RNA called a microRNA. In a new article, researchers report that treatment with a microRNA called miR-219 restarted production of a substance called myelin that is critical to normal function of the central nervous system.

Dr. Zagon's research team at Penn State University found multiple inflammatory markers for multiple sclerosis (MS) can be regulated by low dose naltrexone (LDN).

It's widely accepted that Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease. The cause of MS is unknown and there is no cure. But some maverick doctors contend that MS is triggered by an infection which can be treated. It's believed that a common bacterium, http://www.abc.net.au/catalyst/ Chlamydia pneumoniae can infect blood vessels in the brain and spinal cord and ultimately lead to nerve damage. Maryanne Demasi meets the doctors who are at odds with neurologists in proposing that an early diagnosis of MS could be cured with something as simple as antibiotics.

Researchers have developed a new method to separate between two different types of a common herpes virus (HHV-6) that has been linked to multiple sclerosis. By analyzing antibodies in the blood against the most divergent proteins of herpesvirus 6A and 6B, the researchers were able to show that MS-patients carry the herpesvirus 6A to a greater extent than healthy individuals.

MS patients to consider increasing their consumption of prebiotic foods as a method of achieving immune balance.

Results from a clinical trial of more than 250 participants with progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) revealed that ibudilast was better than a placebo in slowing down brain shrinkage. The study also showed that the main side effects of ibudilast were gastrointestinal and headaches.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated disease, the etiology of which involves both genetic and environmental factors. The exact nature of the environmental factors responsible for predisposition to MS remains elusive; however, it’s hypothesized that gastrointestinal microbiota might play an important role in pathogenesis of MS. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate whether gut microbiota are altered in MS by comparing the fecal microbiota in relapsing remitting MS (RRMS) (n = 31) patients to that of age- and gender-matched healthy controls (n = 36). Phylotype profiles of the gut microbial populations were generated using hypervariable tag sequencing of the V3–V5 region of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene. Detailed fecal microbiome analyses revealed that MS patients had distinct microbial community profile compared to healthy controls. We observed an increased abundance of Psuedomonas, Mycoplana, Haemophilus, Blautia, and Dorea genera in MS patients, whereas control group showed increased abundance of Parabacteroides, Adlercreutzia and Prevotella genera. Thus our study is consistent with the hypothesis that MS patients have gut microbial dysbiosis and further study is needed to better understand their role in the etiopathogenesis of MS.

The permanent neurological deficits of multiple sclerosis patients largely depend on the extent of degeneration of long nerve fibers. The latter is initiated by ruptures in the cell membrane and the resulting influx of calcium ions.

A crucial development has been made in the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). A research team has demonstrated in an animal model that, following treatment with a specially synthesized plant peptide (cyclotide), there is no further progression of the usual clinical signs of multiple sclerosis.

Researchers report they have developed and validated a tablet-based app that offers a faster, easier and more accurate way for health care providers who don't have specialized training to assess the cognitive function of people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Multiple sclerosis is a chronic neurologic illness that affects the central nervous system, resulting in a variety of symptoms including motor issues, fatigue, visual disturbance, memory and concentration concerns, and mood changes.

Mapping of a certain group of cells, known as oligodendrocytes, in the central nervous system of a mouse model of multiple sclerosis (MS), shows that they might have a significant role in the development of the disease. The discovery can lead to new therapies targeted at other areas than just the immune system.

A team of researchers has succeeded in demonstrating in an animal model that previously entirely unknown types of immune cells are present in the inflamed brain in the course of multiple sclerosis (MS). The discovery was made by means of a new, high-resolution method for analyzing single cells. The method allowed the researchers to create a kind of immune cell atlas for the brain. They also showed how these cells promote the development of the autoimmune disease MS.

Nutrient Deficiencies that Cause Nerve Damage Vitamin B12 Vitamin B1 Vitamin B3 Vitamin B6  Folate  Vitamin E  Copper  All these are deficiency neuropathies unless I specify otherwise, meaning that it's you not having enough of the nutrient, not a toxicity of the nutrient. There are examples that I'll give tonight where where a nutrient toxicity could lead to neuropathy, but these are deficiency unless I say otherwise. Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause a degradation of the brain. It can cause a degradation of the spinal cord and it can manifest as a form of ms multiple sclerosis. A lot of B vitamins can cause neuropathy. Folate deficiency can mimic all the things that happen with B12 deficiency. These two have a lot of similar functions and, and play together, so to speak. So folate deficiency can cause the same type of numbness, tingling in the feet or hands or fingers. This is a very, very common deficiency. B3 deficiency, we'll call more of a central problem because it leads to cognitive decline. So cognitive function versus numbness and tingling. You might get memory problems or word recall issues. Dementia is a late stage pellagra, which is what vitamin B3 deficiency is. B6 is unique because B6 deficiency can cause neuropathy, but so can B6 toxicity. If you've ever taken too much B6 you may have experienced numbness, tingling, or agitation. If you're taking high doses of vitamin B6 for long periods of time, then you can run the risk of developing a vitamin B6 neuropathy from a toxicity perspective. There's other vitamins, and other minerals that can also contribute to neuropathy. One of them is Vitamin E which has been really well researched as a cause of neuropathy. Another quite common one is copper deficiency. To connect with Dr. Osborne visit: On the web: https://drpeterosborne.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DoctorPeterO...

Objective: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a self-immune demyelinating disorder of the CNS, followed by neuropathic discomfort, especially in young people in reproductive age. So, This research was conducted with the aim of assessing the protective effect of Aloe vera gel (AVG) extract on histopathologic changes of the ovary and gonadotropin in an experimental MS model of rat. Methods: In this research, 30 pieces of rats of Wistar race were randomly divided into 6 groups of 5. 20 pieces, 14μl of ethidium bromide was injected in their lateral ventricles to induce MS. In 5 pieces as control group 2, 14μL of saline was injected into the lateral ventricles, and the remaining 5 rats were considered as control group 1. Treatment of three groups of rats with MS was performed with AVG extract at 50 mg/kg BW, 100 mg/kg BW 100 and 200 mg/ kg BW. At the end, blood sampling to measure serum FSH and LH, Their ovaries were isolated for microscopic examination. Results: The results of counting the number of ovarian follicles showed a significant decrease in the number of primary and secondary and graafian follicles in group 3, compared to the control group. There is a significant increase in the concentration of FSH and LH in group 3 in comparison to the control group. Conclusion: Finally, It can be said that by inducing MS, The number of ovarian follicles decreased, and the number of atretic follicles and the concentration of gonadotropin hormones increased, and treatment with AVG extract was effective in improving these factors.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is believed to be one of the most widespread and disabling neurological conditions in the world, with an estimated 2.3 million people suffering from the condition worldwide. The latest statistics estimate that there are currently 400,000 individuals suffering from MS in the US and a further 100,000 individuals in the UK

A method for quickly detecting signs of multiple sclerosis has been developed. The discovery, using advanced mass spectrometry techniques, offers a diagnostic tool that enables the detection of multiple sclerosis (MS) to be made simply using blood samples. The current procedure for detection requires the invasive, often painful, process of collecting fluid from the brain and spine.

N-acetylglucosamine, a simple sugar found in human breast milk and sold as an over-the-counter dietary supplement in the United States, promotes myelin repair in mouse models and correlates with myelination levels in multiple sclerosis patients, according to a new study.

Fresh insights into the types of cells found in the brains of people with multiple sclerosis could help develop improved therapies, research has found. The study focused on cells in the brain that help to repair damage to nerve cells caused by the disease.
