Venöse Multiple Sklerose | CCSVI

Eine klinische CCSVI MS Studie mit 500 Person, welche durch die Vascular Group in Albany, New York durchgeführt wird.

[prep_mehta10a]

Recent research has suggested that many people with MS have blockages in the veins that drain the brain (CCSVI) and that this problem is an important part of the MS disease process.

Dr. Bianca Weinstock-Guttman and Dr. Robert Zivadinov of the University of Buffalo are currently leading a major clinical trial to investigate CCSVI. They will present an overview of CCSVI and their preliminary results.

Friday, April 30th, Coast Plaza Hotel, Calgary, Canada

Update 01.07.2010:
Webcast and Q&A Session are available online.

Es findet bald die grosse Neurologen Konferenz statt: American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Annual Meeting 2010. Toronto, 10–17 Apr 2010. [aan10a]
