A comparison of human natural monoclonal antibodies and aptamer conjugates for promotion of CNS remyelination: where are we now and what comes next?

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic and progressive inflammatory demyelinating disease of the human central nervous system (CNS) and is the most common disabling neurological condition in young adults, resulting in severe neurological defects. No curative or long-term progression-inhibiting therapy has yet been developed. However, recent investigation has revealed potential strategies that do not merely modulate potentially pathogenic autoimmune responses, but stimulate remyelination within CNS lesions.

Volumetric analysis of olfactory neuroblastoma skull base laterality and implications on neck disease.

Objective: To determine if the laterality of primary tumors in patients with olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB) influenced the pattern and development of neck disease.

Methods: Using a retrospective cohort study design from 1994 to 2015, the primary tumors of patients who either presented with or developed neck disease were volumetrically analyzed using iPlan software (version 3.0.
