Brain metabolite concentration and dementia severity in Alzheimer's disease: a (1)H MRS study.

abstract：:Mitoxantrone is the first drug approved for the treatment of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) in the United States. This assessment considers use of mitoxantrone in the treatment of MS. Mitoxantrone probably reduces the clinical attack rate and reduces attack-related MRI outcomes in patients with relaps...
