Clinical Aspects of Multiple Sclerosis Essentials and Current Updates offers readers a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of multiple sclerosis (MS) and its related disorders, providing the latest research findings and insights to ensure readers are well informed. This book thoroughly examines the underlying genetic factors contributing to the development of the disease while emphasizing the significant role of vitamin D in both the pathogenesis and treatment of MS. Furthermore, this book provides essential information on current treatment guidelines for effectively managing MS during pregnancy. This includes a specific focus on optimizing outcomes and addressing the complexities involved, healthcare professionals are equipped to handle the challenges presented by this specific patient population. Overall, this book delivers meticulous, updated, and extensive information on all aspects of MS, from demographic features and etiopathogenesis to the latest diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. With a focus on delivering valuable knowledge and practical insights, Clinical Aspects of Multiple Sclerosis Essentials and Current Updates serves as an essential resource for healthcare professionals and researchers seeking a deeper understanding of MS.
Explores the practical applications of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) in assessing MS.
Delves into utilizing advanced imaging modalities and corresponding radiological findings for the diagnosis and monitoring.
Includes cutting-edge technologies: 7 Tesla (7T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), positron emission tomography (PET), and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MR spectroscopy).
