Interleukin-6 and risk of cognitive decline: MacArthur studies of successful aging.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Plasma exchange (PE) is used to treat severe episodes of CNS demyelination unresponsive to corticosteroids. Predictors of long-term response are not well known. METHODS:We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 41 patients consecutively treated by PE between January 1995 and July 2007. The primary ...
