Gene Therapy00:59

Gene Therapy

27.6K
Gene therapy is a technique where a gene is inserted into a person’s cells to prevent or treat a serious disease. The added gene may be a healthy version of the gene that is mutated in the patient, or it could be a different gene that inactivates or compensates for the patient’s disease-causing gene. For example, in patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) due to a mutation in the gene for the enzyme adenosine deaminase, a functioning version of the gene can be...

Electrical Current01:10

Electrical Current

7.2K
Electrical current is defined as the rate at which charge flows. When there is a large current present, such as that used to run a refrigerator, a large amount of charge moves through the wire in a small amount of time. If the current is small, such as that used to operate a handheld calculator, a small amount of charge moves through the circuit over a long period of time. The SI unit for current is the ampere (A), named for the French physicist André-Marie Ampère (1775–1836).

Group Therapy01:26

Group Therapy

433
Group therapy is a sociocultural approach to psychological treatment, where individuals with shared psychological challenges come together under the guidance of a mental health professional. This therapeutic modality offers unique opportunities for individuals to connect, share, and grow within the context of a supportive group. By fostering mutual understanding and collaboration, group therapy can address a range of psychological concerns effectively, often complementing or surpassing the...

Multiple Regression01:25

Multiple Regression

4.0K
Multiple regression assesses a linear relationship between one response or dependent variable and two or more independent variables. It has many practical applications.
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...

Current Density01:21

Current Density

5.1K
The total amount of current flowing through one unit value of a cross-sectional area is referred to as current density. If the current flow is uniform, the amount of current flowing through a conductor is the same at all points along the conductor, even if the conductor area varies. The current density consists of the local magnitude and direction of the charge flow, which varies from point to point. Current density is measured in amperes per meter square, and direction is defined as the net...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Immunology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, incurable neurological disease.
  • The first disease-modifying therapy for MS, interferon-β 1b, was approved in 1993.
  • Significant advancements have led to multiple treatment options for MS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of current and potential treatments for multiple sclerosis.
  • To discuss the evolving landscape of MS therapeutics.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing FDA-approved medications for MS.
  • Overview of ongoing clinical trials for experimental MS agents.

Main Results:

  • Seven distinct MS treatments are currently available, including interferons, glatiramer acetate, natalizumab, fingolimod, teriflunomide, and mitoxantrone.
  • Numerous experimental agents like alemtuzumab, dimethyl fumarate, and rituximab are under investigation.

Conclusions:

  • The treatment of multiple sclerosis has advanced significantly since 1993.
  • A wide range of therapeutic strategies, both established and investigational, are available and in development for MS patients.
