Multiple Sclerosis and Trigeminal Neuralgia: A Well-Noted Association with Unknown Occurrence as a Presenting Symptom: Our Experience in Multi Centric Study: OAJBS Publishers

Multiple Sclerosis and Trigeminal Neuralgia: A Well-Noted Association with Unknown Occurrence as a Presenting Symptom: Our Experience in Multi Centric Study by Daniele Armocida in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science

Objective: The association between trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and multiple sclerosis (MS) is well established. In many cases series the frequency of TN is reported in patients with MS but information regarding the frequency of trigeminal pain as a symptom of disease onset is lacking. We present a multi centric analysis of SM-patients affected by TN where we investigated the onset of symptomatology and a current literature analysis. Patients and Methods: We prospectively acquired clinical and radiological information of patients with MS and with TN that were visited at our clinics in two different departments. A pertinent literature review was carried out as well. We investigated the prevalence of TN in patients with MS and we noted whether facial pain was the symptom of MS onset. Results: A total of 718 patients with multiple sclerosis were analyzed, of which 63 presented TN. The neuropathic facial pain was the presenting symptom of MS in 3 patients, that constituted 0.4% of cases. The results reported in the literature confirm a frequency of 0.4-1% of the cases in which the first symptom of MS is TN and are like those observed in our study. Conclusions: Is important to investigate the rate of debut of TN in SM patients to set up the correct diagnostic and therapeutic program. Among the different types of neuropathic pain, TN in MS patients are a difficult to treat with a relevant impact on the quality of life. TN constitutes a clinical picture frequently associated with the MS. Nevertheless, TN as a clinical manifestation of the onset of MS is a rare occurrence and is just noted that is rarely the first symptom of disease.

Facile Synthesis of Chitosan Nanoparticle with Different Features and Histopathological Ultrastructural Study on The Effect of Its Bio-complex with Bovine Serum Albumin in Mice Liver by Maged El-Kemary* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS)   We have synthesized chitosan nanoparticles (CS-NPs) with different characteristics using ionic gelation method. Results showed that the synthesized CS-NPs with different concentrations of trisodium polyphosphate (TPP) are irregular – spherical shaped with narrow size distribution and high stability. The microporous chitosan was also synthesized with new features characterized with different techniques as SEM, EDX, FTIR and BET. The synthesized microporous chitosan has a surface area and pore volume of 245.571m 2 /g and 0.155cm 3 /g respectively. Its microporous surface is functionalized with carboxyl and amine groups. Histopathological and ultrastructural studies of mice liver were performed using optical and scanning electron m...

Review on Analysis of Breast Tumor with Methods of Treatment: OAJBS Publishers

Review on Analysis of Breast Tumor with Methods of Treatment by Nagham Mahmood Aljamali* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS) Breast malignance is the greatest public in ladies, with a high incidence in North America and Eastern Europe, medium in Southern Europe and the Middle East and low in the Far East. Breast malignance is the second most common malignance in the world after lung malignance, and since it happens a lot, the doctors asked the women to examine themselves by themselves, in order to discover the signs of the disease early before it spreads. It is possible that this disease can be treated after being diagnosed by a specialized doctor and determining the type of tumor in the breast, and the surgeon removes the breast completely and starts chemotherapy about 6 doses, then radiotherapy, how many sessions will be determined by the doctor, and then hormonal therapy, a medicine called Tamoxafin or any medicine determined by the doctor, and it is possible. This ...
