Implementing Evidence-Based Occupational Therapy for Multiple Sclerosis Rehabilitation: Exploring Knowledge on Barriers, Facilitators and Strategies

Background A persistent gap remains between evidence-based health care and its application in routine practice. This challenge is particularly prominent in allied health professions like occupational therapy (OT), where interventions are complex, individualized and centred on patients' daily functio…

Peripheral Third Cranial Nerve Palsy in A Patient With Pediatric Form of Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis has traditionally been considered an inflammatory and autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. However, peripheral cranial nerve involvement has been described previously in eight cases, raising the hypothesis of a disease spectrum between central and peripheral nervous s…

Safety of BBIBP-CorV (Sinopharm) COVID-19 Vaccination in People With Multiple Sclerosis: A Report From Iran

Introduction Vaccination against SARS CoV-2 started on March 2020 in Iran and people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) have a priority to be vaccinated in line of other high-risk population. Up to now, BBIBP-CorV (Sinopharm) is the main vaccine which have been used in Iranian population, and in high ri…

Fragiles but Resilient. The Key Strategies to Cope with Pandemic in Persons with Multiple Sclerosis. A Controlled Web Survey

Background SARS-CoV-2 pandemic represented an unexpected psychological stress, being a major threat to health and limiting daily’s life, especially for the fragile population. How could the people with (pw) Multiple Sclerosis (MS) cope with this emergency? Objective To observe the pwMS’s psychologic…

Ultraviolet B Phototherapy Intervention in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis: A Prospective, Randomized Pilot Trial

Background There is substantial evidence, from well-conducted epidemiological studies, that low vitamin D levels are correlated with increased risk for MS, and multiple case control studies have implicated the involvement of vitamin D deficiency in MS etiology. Narrow-band Ultraviolet B (NB-UVB; 300…

Neurovascular Reactivity after Repeated Attacks in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis

Objectives Increased neurovascular (NV) reactivity has been shown in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) during the acute exacerbation period. However, the NV reactivity after several attacks is not known. We, therefore, have investigated the patients by transcranial Doppler…

Bioinformatic Analysis of Coronary Disease Associated SNPs and Genes to Identify Proteins Potentially Involved in the Pathogenesis of Atherosclerosis

Factors that contribute to the onset of atherosclerosis may be elucidated by bioinformatic techniques applied to multiple sources of genomic and proteomic data. The results of genome wide association studies, such as the CardioGramPlusC4D study, expression data, such as that available from expressio…

Why Do Human Body Systems Go Into Catastrophic System Failure Leading to Diseases -Is the Answer in Science or Nature?

Both the human body and the natural world are governed by multiple complex systems. These systems have feedback loops which is a process in which the outputs of a system are circled back and used as inputs. Where there are multiple systems, there is always the potential for a catastrophic system fai…

Disability and prognostic factors of MS severity: An Algerian cohort study

Background The evolution of multiple sclerosis (MS) is highly variable. Predicting this evolution at the beginning of the disease will help in the therapeutic management. The objective of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics and to identify early predictors of long-term disability…

Effect of Wheat Germ, Wheat Germ Oil on Lipid Profile of Hypercholesterolemic Rats

Hypercholesterolemia plays an important role in atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) that represent one of the greatest worldwide medical problems nowadays. Recently, an increased attention/ interest for natural antioxidant/ hypercholesterolemia as WG/WGO is increasing. Wheat germ/ Whea…

Effects of Involuntary Smoking and Vaping on the Cardiovascular System

In deaths and diseases attributed to tobacco smoke cardiovascular events exceed cancer and respiratory diseases. Second hand smoke promotes the development of arteriosclerosis and can trigger acute changes of endothelial function and blood coagulability. Indoor smoking bans reduced coronary syndrome…

MicroRNA: New Era for Therapeutic Strategy in Ischaemic Heart Disease

Over the last few decades, many research works highlighted the role of miRNAs on cardiac diseases. Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) or coronary heart disease is a condition that is mainly caused by atherosclerosis. It has been established that microribonucleic acids regulate many factors that are invol…

Why Music in Neurology?

In the last years we could find many uses of music in different clinical settings, also in the field of neurology. In this field empirical results, but also scientific studies, showed the efficacy of music interventions on psychological, cognitive and motor aspects. This is consistent with strong ef…

Endothelial Function in Stroke Subtypes Using Endopat Technology

Background. Endothelial function is characterized by the vasodilator capacity of blood vessel smooth muscle cells mediated by nitric oxide. Some studies have shown an inverse association between the endothelial function and the carotid intima-media thickness (IMT). The relationship between endotheli…
