Multiple sclerosis and age at exposure to childhood diseases and animals: cases and their friends.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:This study correlated the extent of abnormalities detected by different magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques [proton density (PD)-weighted, T1-weighted, and magnetization transfer imaging (MTI)] with the overall cognitive, frontal lobe, and memory impairments in patients with MS. PATIENTS:There were 3...
