Multiple Sclerosis l: Introduction01:19

Multiple Sclerosis l: Introduction

17
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) that affects the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. It is an inflammatory demyelinating disorder and a leading cause of neurological disability in young adults.EpidemiologyMS commonly begins between 20 and 40 years of age and is twice as common in women. Its exact cause remains unclear, but genetic susceptibility contributes, with higher risk in first-degree relatives and identical twins. A greater...

Eccentric Axial Loading in a Plane of Symmetry01:16

Eccentric Axial Loading in a Plane of Symmetry

763
Eccentric axial loading occurs when an axial load is applied away from the centroidal axis of a structural member. This scenario is common in engineering, where structural elements may not be directly aligned due to various design or functional requirements.

Cross-bridge Cycle01:26

Cross-bridge Cycle

108.7K
As muscle contracts, the overlap between the thin and thick filaments increases, decreasing the length of the sarcomere—the contractile unit of the muscle—using energy in the form of ATP. At the molecular level, this is a cyclic, multistep process that involves binding and hydrolysis of ATP, and movement of actin by myosin.

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle01:28

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

2.2K
The clinical conditions affecting the skeletal muscle tissue are broadly categorized as musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Cerebral Edema ll: Pathophysiology01:22

Cerebral Edema ll: Pathophysiology

14
Vasogenic edema is a major form of cerebral edema characterized by abnormal accumulation of fluid in the brain’s extracellular space due to disruption of the blood–brain barrier (BBB). The BBB is a specialized structure composed of endothelial cells connected by tight junctions, supported by astrocytic endfeet and a basement membrane. Under normal conditions, it tightly regulates the movement of ions, proteins, and solutes between the bloodstream and brain parenchyma. When this...

Parkinson Disease ll: Pathophysiology

22
Parkinson disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder primarily affecting movement, with additional non-motor features. Its pathophysiology involves complex interactions among genetic susceptibility, environmental exposures, and cellular dysfunction, including dopaminergic neuron loss, protein aggregation, and mitochondrial impairment.Selective NeurodegenerationA key feature is the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, leading to reduced...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neuroimmunology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Baló's concentric sclerosis (BCS) is a rare demyelinating disorder.
  • Historically considered fatal, BCS is now recognized as a variant of multiple sclerosis (MS).
  • Characteristic MRI findings include concentric, ring-like lesions in the cerebral white matter.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current understanding of Baló's concentric sclerosis.
  • To discuss the diagnostic advancements and clinical associations of BCS.
  • To explore treatment considerations for acute Baló lesions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of Baló's concentric sclerosis cases.
  • Analysis of MRI findings in BCS.
  • Discussion of immunopathogenic mechanisms and treatment strategies.

Main Results:

  • MRI has improved the understanding of BCS's variable natural history.
  • BCS is associated with multiple sclerosis and other neurological disorders.
  • Immunopathogenic mechanisms of Baló lesions are increasingly understood.

Conclusions:

  • Baló lesions indicate a spectrum of demyelinating diseases.
  • Treatment strategies for acute BCS are still evolving.
  • Disease-modifying therapy for multiple sclerosis may be reasonable for BCS patients meeting MS criteria.
