Abstract:
Multiple sclerosis is one of the most common autoimmune diseases affecting the central nervous system. Current guidelines characterize multiple sclerosis and related conditions based on clinical, imaging, and body fluid markers. In this review, we describe how laboratory analysis of cerebrospinal fluid is currently performed and discuss new approaches under development for multiple sclerosis diagnostics.

Cerebrospinal Fluid
4.5K
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a colorless liquid that flows around the brain and the spinal cord, playing a vital role in the protection, support, and overall function of the central nervous system (CNS). CSF production, circulation, and absorption are tightly regulated processes essential for the brain and spinal cord to function properly.
CSF Production
CSF is produced mainly in the choroid plexus, a network of capillaries and ependymal cells located within the ventricular system of the brain....

Myasthenia Gravis: Diagnostic Tests
1.7K
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune condition affecting neuromuscular transmission, causing generalized weakness in skeletal muscles. Initial diagnoses rely on patients' signs, symptoms, and medical history. The challenge lies in distinguishing myasthenia from other muscular dystrophies. An important diagnostic feature is the significant improvement of symptoms after administering anticholinesterase inhibitors.
