Abstract

Central nervous system (CNS) inflammation has been considered to be the main pathological feature of multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the complexity of this autoimmune disorder also comprises neurodegenerative processes that may occur within acute phases of inflammation, yet also temporally independent and outside of inflammatory lesions or even in so-called normal appearing white matter. Measurement strategies for neurodegeneration and neuroprotection include clinical parameters, magnetic resonance imaging and novel instruments such as diffusion tensor imaging or optical coherence tomography. Neurotrophic factors activate endogenous neuroprotective pathways. Their up-regulation by CNS-infiltrating immune cells has led to the concept of neuroprotective autoimmunity. The capacity to enhance this endogenous neuroprotection is a valuable property for therapeutic agents and has in detail been studied for glatirameracetate, laquinimod and dimethylfumarate. Multimodal measurement of neuroprotective properties of established and novel MS therapeutics and further elucidation of neuroprotective pathways within the autoimmune process will be useful to augment our insight into the complexity of the disease and to improve therapy, especially in terms of long-term disability and cognitive decline.

Hirnblutung unter DOAK und VKA ähnlich bedrohlich

17.05.2024 Direkte orale Antikoagulanzien Nachrichten

Kommt es zu einer nichttraumatischen Hirnblutung, spielt es keine große Rolle, ob die Betroffenen zuvor direkt wirksame orale Antikoagulanzien oder Marcumar bekommen haben: Die Prognose ist ähnlich schlecht.

Thrombektomie auch bei großen Infarkten von Vorteil

16.05.2024 Ischämischer Schlaganfall Nachrichten

Auch ein sehr ausgedehnter ischämischer Schlaganfall scheint an sich kein Grund zu sein, von einer mechanischen Thrombektomie abzusehen. Dafür spricht die LASTE-Studie, an der Patienten und Patientinnen mit einem ASPECTS von maximal 5 beteiligt waren.

Schwindelursache: Massagepistole lässt Otholiten tanzen

14.05.2024 Benigner Lagerungsschwindel Nachrichten

Wenn jüngere Menschen über ständig rezidivierenden Lagerungsschwindel klagen, könnte eine Massagepistole der Auslöser sein. In JAMA Otolaryngology warnt ein Team vor der Anwendung hochpotenter Geräte im Bereich des Nackens.

Schützt Olivenöl vor dem Tod durch Demenz?

10.05.2024 Morbus Alzheimer Nachrichten

Konsumieren Menschen täglich 7 Gramm Olivenöl, ist ihr Risiko, an einer Demenz zu sterben, um mehr als ein Viertel reduziert – und dies weitgehend unabhängig von ihrer sonstigen Ernährung. Dafür sprechen Auswertungen zweier großer US-Studien.
