A New Look at Demyelination and White Matter Density in Multiple Sclerosis

By -
Myelocortical multiple sclerosis (MS), a subtype of MS, is set apart by demyelination of the spinal cord and the cerebral cortex but not of cerebral white matter. Cortical neuronal loss may be enhanced in myelocortical MS cortex compared with typical MS cortex, according to study results published in The Lancet Neurology.

Researchers examined the brains and spinal cords of deceased individuals with MS selected from the Cleveland Clinic rapid autopsy protocol. Brains were scanned using an MRI and then divided into hemispheres and matching slices. Of these, 12 brains did not have visible lesions in cerebral white matter or myelocortical MS. These brains and spinal cords were compared with those from 12 individuals with typical MS and 13 brains from individuals who did not have MS.

Cerebral white-matter lesions per hemisphere were considerably greater in the typical MS group (10.0 (4.5 to 19.0) compared with the myelocortical MS group (0.5 (0.0 to 1.0). The typical size of individual white-matter lesions was also considerably larger in typical MS hemispheric slices than in myelocortical MS hemispheric slices. Researchers found a significant increase in the spinal cord demyelinated area in typical MS compared with myelocortical MS. Compared with controls, neuronal densities in typical MS cortices were considerably decreased in layer V. However, this was not the case in layers III or VI. None of the 3 layers were considerably different in typical MS compared with myelocortical MS.

There is mounting evidence that herpes leads to Alzheimers Disease

More than 30 million people worldwide suffer from Alzheimer’s disease – the most common form of dementia. Unfortunately, there is no cure, only drugs to ease the symptoms. However, my own research suggests a way to treat the disease. I have found the strongest evidence yet that the herpes virus is a cause of Alzheimer’s, suggesting that effective and safe antiviral drugs might be able to treat the disease. We might even be able to vaccinate our children against it. The virus implicated in Alzheimer’s disease , herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1), is better known for causing cold sores. It infects most people in infancy and then remains dormant in the peripheral nervous system (the part of the nervous system that isn’t the brain and the spinal cord). Occasionally, if a person is stressed, the virus becomes activated and, in some people, it causes cold sores. The virus can become active in the brain, perhaps repeatedly, and this probably causes cumulative damage. The likel...

# Alzheimer’s Disease is a progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions. # Brain cell connections and the cells themselves degenerate and die, eventually destroying memory and other important # mental functions. Memory loss and confusion are the main symptoms. No cure exists, but #medication and management strategies may temporarily improve symptoms. Although there’s no # cure , there are things you can do to help prevent, delay, or slow down Alzheimer’s disease and # dementia . Exercising regularly Getting a good night’s sleep Being MIND-ful about your diet Stress management Socializing Learning new things Lowering high blood pressure and cholesterol Losing weight Brushing and flossing Playing brain games Taking nutritional supplements Protecting your noggin Keeping your gut microbiome healthy Taking medications All of the above Know more at: https://alzheimers-dementia.pulsusconferenc...
