Abstract

Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an autoimmune demyelinating disease preferentially targeting the optic nerves and spinal cord. Once regarded as a variant of multiple sclerosis (MS), NMO is now recognized to be a different disease with unique pathology and immunopathogenesis that does not respond to traditional MS immunomodulators such as interferons. Preventive therapy in NMO has focused on a range of immunosuppressive medications, none of which have been validated in a rigorous randomized trial. However, multiple retrospective and a few recent prospective studies have provided evidence for the use of six medications for the prevention of NMO exacerbations: azathioprine, rituximab, mycophenolate mofetil, prednisone, methotrexate and mitoxantrone. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of each of these medications in NMO and concludes with a set of recommended consensus practices. Copyright 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract

A woman with DE after CO poisoning was longitudinally evaluated by DTI, performed during the following periods: at the phase of acute CO poisoning, the lucid interval, neurologic deterioration due to DE, and neurologic recovery. The present case revealed the long-term course of DTI parameters after CO poisoning and the usefulness of DTI for quantifying neurologic damage after CO poisoning.

Abstract

Brain parenchymal lesions are frequently observed on conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of patients with neuromyelitis optica (NMO) spectrum disorder, but the specific morphological and temporal patterns distinguishing them unequivocally from lesions caused by other disorders have not been identified. This literature review summarizes the literature on advanced quantitative imaging measures reported for patients with NMO spectrum disorder, including proton MR spectroscopy, diffusio

Abstract

We describe a 54-year-old man with dominant adult-onset dopa-responsive dystonia (DRD) with parkinsonism caused by an Arg184His mutation in guanosine 5'-triphosphate cyclohydrolase I (GCH-I). This is the first mutation in the GCH-I gene that has been proven to be responsible for both recessive and dominant phenotypes.

112. A guide to facilitate the early treatment of patients with idiopathic demyelinating disease (multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica)

Author

Abstract

Definite diagnosis of inflammatory demyelinating disease (multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica (NMO)) may require time, but early treatment offers the opportunity to maximize patient outcomes. The purpose of this report is to provide guidance to facilitate early treatment decisions for patients with inflammatory demyelinating disease, before definitive diagnosis. Neurology experts reviewed the existing literature and clinical evidence. A treatment decision pathway was developed, defining patients for whom first-line MS disease-modifying therapies (a) are unlikely to be effective, (b) may be effective but require careful monitoring and (c) are likely to provide benefit. This algorithm seeks to ensure that patients, particularly those in Asia, receive appropriate treatment early in inflammatory demyelinating disease.

Abstract

This paper reports the second part of the results from the round robin test program proposed by the Society of Interfacial Materials Science (SIMS) to characterise the interlaminar fracture behaviour of E-glass woven fabric reinforced vinylester composites. Special emphasis was placed on the study of loading direction (i.e. weft and warp directions) effect on interlaminar shear strength and fracture toughness. Ten laboratories worldwide participated in this test (Table 1). Each laboratory was supplied with composite laminates and conducted the tests according to its own procedure. The results showed that although there were large variations in absolute magnitude between laboratories, a general trend was established with higher interlaminar fracture resistance in the weft direction than in the warp direction for a given silane agent. The larger number of strands running in the warp direction with rougher, more undulating areas perpendicular to the direction of crack propagation was mainly responsible for this result. The results also confirmed the previous finding that the mode I interlaminar fracture toughness increased with increasing silane agent concentration.

Abstract

A round-robin test programme has been carried out to characterise the mode I interlaminar fracture behaviour of E-glass woven fabric reinforced vinyl ester matrix composites. Special emphasis has been placed on the effect of silane coupling agent on the stability of interlaminar crack propagation and fracture toughness. Sixteen laboratories participated in this programme. Each laboratory was supplied with composite laminates of thicknesses of its own choice and conducted-the tests according to its own procedures. The results showed that variations in interlaminar fracture toughness between laboratories were very large in spite of slight differences in the test procedures used, such as specimen dimensions, test speed and data reduction schemes. Nevertheless, the general trends were clearly identified with respect to different silane coupling agents. Other observations and the implications are discussed.
