Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleHigh-Dose Vitamin D3 Intake Is Associated with Decreased Symptoms of Multiple SclerosisMichelle L. Steinwart, David M. DuriancikMultiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most widespread disabling autoimmune neurological conditions of adults between the ages of 20 and 40 globally. Medical researchers do not completely understand the possible causes of MS, nor have they determined the rate of progression. A limited number of clinical trials conducted in recent years have explored the link between vitamin D deficiency … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 4 Sep 2018 · 9,283 accessesView PDF Cite

HypothesisOpen accessIn the keywordsIncreased Tissue Pressure Induces Demyelinated Lesions and Necroses in the BrainHelmut Barz, Ulrich Barz, Almut SchreiberA general brain edema increases the size of the brain tissue and stretches the elastic neuronal and glial fibers. Myelinated fibers are more elastic than unmyelinated fibers. The stretching of the neuronal fibers leads particular in regions of the white matter or areas surrounded by myelinated fiber tracts to an increased tissue pressure. This physical principle can be the reason … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2015 · 7,424 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdipokines Overview: The Major Component of Immune DysregulationAnastasia Vladimirovna Poznyak, Daria Dmitryevna Borodko, Stanislav Anatolievich Antonov et al.Purpose of Review: Obesity is increasingly recognized as an immune endocrine disorder rather than only a metabolic condition. This review critically examines how adipokines particularly adiponectin, resistin, adipsin, and chemerin mediate the interplay between obesity and autoimmunity. Unlike previous reviews that broadly surveyed cytokines, our focus is on comparative roles of specific adipokines across multiple autoimmune diseases. Recent Findings: Evidence … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 11 Aug 2026 · 879 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA HYBRID FIREFLY ALGORITHM WITH FUZZY-C MEAN ALGORITHM FOR MRI BRAIN SEGMENTATIONMutasem K. AlsmadiImage processing is one of the essential tasks to extract suspicious region and robust features from the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). A numbers of the segmentation algorithms were developed in order to satisfy and increasing the accuracy of brain tumor detection. In the medical image processing brain image segmentation is considered as a complex and challenging part. Fuzzy c-means is … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 10 Sep 2014 · 8,074 accessesView PDF Cite
