A shift in the functions of the endothelium towards vasoconstriction, proinflammatory and prothrombic states characterise improper functioning of these cells, leading to en...

Important, as the endothelium is the interface between our immune and vascular systems. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2894368/ http://circres.ahajournals.org/c...

:YMPARTY: HARRY! I just popped in after months away to see your name! WHOO HOO! Hope you're doing well.

I saw Mark's doctor at ISNVD a couple years ago in San Francisco. Was not able to attend ISNVD in NYC this year, too busy traveling, so I missed out on all the fun! Dr. Owiesy's poster and info should be made available on the ISNVD site soon, as he is now a member http://www.isnvd.org He is using a ...

Thanks so much, Brett! Apologies for misunderstanding. Forgive me! I thought that when you said you were going to talk to Dr. Green about the antihistamine presentation, that you were attending AAN.

Thanks for posting, ThisIs!!! It's a new and very thorough paper from Dr. Zamboni--which explains the obvious and documented differences in the jugular vein lining in normals compared to pwMS.

The history of hypoperfusion, or slowed blood flow through the brains of people with MS, has a long history, going back at least 60 years. Glad to see it is still be studied with new technologies. Would be happier if researchers might also explore an understanding as to why. http://ccsviinms.blogspo...

OK....reading your papers. Thanks, Leonard. 1. is on relapses. The original paper we're discussing is on gray matter involvement before relapses or immune activation. 2. is on relapses. see above 3. is a very good review, linking VZV and latent VZV to autoimmune reaction in MS. 4. is on relapses 5. ...

Proposed method for measuring dRA, or delta Rate of Atrophy: http://sullivanweb.me/pdfdocs/atrophy-3.pdf Looks great, Chris!!! (Although it involves math, and is w-a-a-y over my head) :geek: I'll share with some of the imaging folks at next ISNVD. Would be great to have an ongoing meaurement for at...

I merely compile research....
