[Differential diagnosis of multiple sclerosis in children].

At the onset, multiple sclerosis (MS) in children is characterized by a phase of active inflammation with extensive demyelination of the white matter of the CNS, which often mimics this nosology with a whole spectrum of inflammatory demyelinating diseases such as ADEM, anti-MOG encephalitis, ONMSD. In order to formalize the diagnostic process, the International Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis Study Group (IPMSSG) proposed diagnostic criteria for the main immune-mediated demyelinating diseases of the CNS in children, which, in theory, should simplify the diagnostic search. However, in practice, the range of nosologies in the course of differential diagnosis is much wider and often it is not possible to establish an unambiguous diagnosis in the early stages.

[Comparison of the efficacy of Cellex and Cortexin in patients in the early recovery period of ischemic stroke].

Objective: To compare the efficacy of Cellex and Cortexin in patients in the early recovery period of ischemic stroke (ERPIS) receiving basic therapy (BT).

Material And Methods: Forty patients were randomized into the cellex group (=20) and the cortexin group 2 (=20). Cellex was administered in a dose of 0.

The Interaction between Viral and Environmental Risk Factors in the Pathogenesis of Multiple Sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic debilitating inflammatory disease of unknown ethology targeting the central nervous system (CNS). MS has a polysymptomatic onset and is usually first diagnosed between the ages of 20⁻40 years. The pathology of the disease is characterized by immune mediated demyelination in the CNS.

[The results of an open comparative retrospective trial of the course of multiple sclerosis during treatment with infibeta and other interferon-beta bioanalogues and glatiramer acetate].

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the interferon beta-1b bioanalogue 'infibeta' in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) in comparison with other interferon beta bioanalogues and the generic drug glatiramer acetate.

Material And Methods: The data of 500 patients with MS treated with different disease-modifying drugs were analyzed. Patients of group 1 (n=95) received infibeta; group 2 (n=108) interferon beta-1b; group 3 (n=83) genfaxon-44; group 4 (n=109) sinnovex; group 5 (n=105) aksoglatiran FS.

[Evaluation of efficiency and safety of adding neuromultivit to basic therapy of vertebrogenic radiculopathy].

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of neuromultivit (valiant, Russia) as add-on to the basic therapy of vertebrogenic radiculopathy (VR) L5-S1.

Material And Methods: The open clinical trial included 100 patients with VR L5-S1 randomized into 2 groups. In group 1, patients received neuromultivit and basic therapy; in group 2 only basic therapy.

Divergent Immunomodulation Capacity of Individual Myelin Peptides-Components of Liposomal Therapeutic against Multiple Sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by demyelination and consequent neuron injury. Although the pathogenesis of MS is largely unknown, a breach in immune self-tolerance to myelin followed by development of autoreactive encephalitogenic T cells is suggested to play the central role. The myelin basic protein (MBP) is believed to be one of the main targets for autoreactive lymphocytes.

Elevated Levels of Proinflammatory Cytokines in Cerebrospinal Fluid of Multiple Sclerosis Patients.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune neurodegenerative disease characterized by chronic brain inflammation. Leukocyte infiltration of brain tissue causes inflammation, demyelination, and the subsequent formation of sclerotic plaques, which are a hallmark of MS. Activation of proinflammatory cytokines is essential for regulation of lymphocyte migration across the blood-brain barrier.

[Effect of cerebrolysin on remyelination processes in multiple sclerosis patients in stage of relapse regression].

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Cerebrolysin (EVER Neuro Pharma GmbH, Austria) in the treatment of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) in stage of relapse regression.

Material And Methods: The study involved 40 patients with remitting MS (McDonald criteria 2010) in stage of MS relapse regression after pulse therapy with methylprednisolone 1000 mg/day 5. Patients randomized into 2 groups: group 1 (G1, n=20) received cerebrolysin 20 ml per 200 ml of 0.

[Comparative, placebo-controlled clinical study of efficacy and safety of glatiramer acetate 20 mg in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis: results of the first year of the study].

Unlabelled: The article presents the results of international multicenter randomized double-blind, active and placebo-controlled, comparative phase 3 trial. The goal of the study was to demonstrate non-inferiority of BCD-063 (glatiramer acetate, manufactured by JSC «BIOCAD», Russia) to copaxone-Teva (Teva Pharmaceutical Enterprise Co., Ltd.

[Clinical, neurophysiological and neuroimaging study of tremor in multiple sclerosis].

Objective: To identify clinical types of tremor in multiple sclerosis (MS) and clarify their pathophysiological mechanisms.

Material And Methods: We examined 124 patients with MS, including 58 patients with tremor, using clinical (digital spiralography), neurophysiological (tremor electromyography, visual and sensory evoked potentials, transcranial magnetic stimulation with tremor resetting, long latency reflexes, electroencephalography) and neuroimaging (MRI, morphometry) methods.

Results And Conclusion: Five main variants of tremor were identified: distal postural and postural-intention (variant 1), distal intention (variant 2), proximal and distal intention and postural-intention (variant 3), Holmes (variant 4), axial (variant 5).

[Biosimilar of interferon-beta 1b in the treatment of multiple sclerosis and the own experience in the use of ronbetal].

The results of using ronbetal, the Russian biosimilar of interferon-beta 1b, in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) are presented. The study included outpatients followed up from February 2008 to March 2012. All patients were assessed neurologically with additional evaluation using the EDSS; a number of exacerbations and their outcomes, disease progression, tolerability of the drug were recorded.
