[Possibilities of magnetic resonance morphometry and laboratory biomarkers in studying the progression of multiple sclerosis].

Objective: To show that magnetic resonance morphometry and laboratory biomarkers are promising methods for early detection of progressive forms of multiple sclerosis (MS).

Material And Methods: Eighty-one patients with MS were examined, magnetic resonance morphometry was performed in all of them, 60 patients were analyzed for neurofilament light chains (sNFL), phosphorylated neurofilament heavy chains (spNFH) and glial fibrillary protein (sGFAP) in serum by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Results: Brain volumes were negatively correlated with disease duration, EDSS score, 25-foot walk test score and 9-ring test and positively correlated with the Symbol-Numeric Test and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment.

Microstructural Properties of Brain White Matter Tracts in Breast Cancer Survivors: A Diffusion Tensor Imaging Study.

Complex breast cancer (BC) treatment can cause various neurological and psychiatric complications, such as postmastectomy pain syndrome, vestibulocerebellar ataxia, and depression, which can lead to microstructural damage of the white matter tracts of the brain. The purpose of the study is to assess microstructural changes in the white matter tracts of the brain in BC survivors using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Single DTI scans were performed on patients ( = 84) after complex BC treatment (i.

[Clinical histochemistry of the barrier function of gingival mucosa in periodontitis].

Parodontium was investigated in 111 persons. The components of gingiva mucosa tissue barrier are presented. The biopolymers dynamics is revealed in periodontosis in its aggravation.
