FROM BRAIN TO SPINAL CORD: NEUROMODULATION BY DIRECT CURRENT STIMULATION AND ITS PROMISING EFFECTS AS A TREATMENT OPTION FOR RESTLESS LEGS SYNDROME

From brain to spinal cord: neuromodulation by direct current stimulation and its promising effects as a treatment option for restless legs syndrome

Neuromodulation is a fast-growing field of mostly non-invasive therapies, which includes spinal cord stimulation (SCS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), vagal nerve echofix spring reverb stimulation (VNS), peripheral nerve stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS

Apolipoprotein A-I Milano: sex-related differences in the concentration and composition of apoA-I- and apoB-containing lipoprotein particles.

The presence of apolipoprotein (apo) A-IMilano (A-IM) mutant of apoA-I has a marked effect on plasma lipoproteins of A-IM carriers including variable hypertriglyceridemia, increased levels of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), slightly elevated levels of triglyceride-enriched low density lipoproteins (LDL) and greatly reduced levels of high dens

The bone marrow of myeloma patients is steadily inhabited by a normal-sized pool of functional regulatory T cells irrespectiveof the disease status

Conflicting data have been reported about the frequency and function of regulatory T cells in multiple myeloma.Most studies have investigated peripheral blood rather than bone marrow Tregs and side-by-side comparisons with bone marrow from healthy donors have still not been made.In this study, we show that regulatory T-cells total count, subset dis
