Surgery and risk for MS: a systematic review and meta-analysis of case--control studies

Although the precise etiology of multiple sclerosis is largely unknown, there is some speculation that a prior history of surgery may be associated with the subsequent risk for developing the disease. Therefore, we aimed to examine surgery as a risk factor for the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis...... Read More - http://www.ms-uk.org/index.cfm/MSnews

 Post subject: Seeking approximate Stem Cell statistics, as follows
PostPosted: Tue May 07, 2013 1:26 pm 
Questions re: Stem Cell Statistics:
Which illnesses have the best MSC stem cell success rate?
Is success correlated with young age, and/or conditions NOT involving plaque, metals/toxins?

Also, what's the rough success rate of:
MSC's in very lesioned cases?
CCSVI ditto?
Combo therapy ditto?

Isn't it bad strategy to push an Augur down a Lesioned kitchen drain without first patching the holes with Caulky Stemcells?

 Post subject: My fiance was diagnosed with optic neuritis - could it be MS
PostPosted: Mon May 06, 2013 7:52 pm 
My fiance has been having pain in his left eye when he moves it. He also has blurry vision and says that things appear to move that actually aren't moving. This has been happening for 3-4 days. He went to the ophthalmologist today and was diagnosed with optic neuritis, pending an MRI that will hopefully happen this week.

He is otherwise a healthy 27 year old guy. His only other eye issue was a battle ...

I've found a study on adiponectin:

Quote:
Eur J Immunol. 2013 May 3. doi: 10.1002/eji.201242836.
Lack of adiponectin leads to increased lymphocyte activation and increased disease severity in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis.
