MS-Related Disorders ID’d by Proteomic Pattern Analysis Last Updated: September 19, 2011. CSF proteomic pattern analysis discriminates among multiple sclerosis-related disorde Proteomic pattern analysis of cerebrospinal fluid analysis using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry distinguishes between similar multiple sclerosis-related disorders, according to a study published online Sept.
In 1894, Eug?ne Devic (1858–1930) described a 45-year-old female hatter in whom ‘l’autopsie r?v?la l’existence d’un foyer de my?lite aigu? diffuse localis?e ? la r?gion du renflement lombaire et d’une n?vrite optique double bien marqu?e’ … the autopsy showed a focus of acute diffuse myelitis localized to the lumbar enlargement, as well as a distinct bilateral optic neuritis (Devic, 1894 ). He called the condition ‘neuromy?lite optique aig?e’
BACKGROUND: A serum antibody directed against astrocytes is present in a high proportion of patients with neuromyelitis optica (NMO). The pathogenicity of the antibody is uncertain because no consistent astrocyte lesion is known to occur in NMO
Background Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease that predominantly affects the optic nerves and the spinal cord, and is possibly mediated by an immune mechanism distinct from that of multiple sclerosis (MS).
