Multiple Sclerosis

This book provides an extensive exploration of current and future directions for understanding immunology, neuroscience, and the development of potent treatment modalities. It presents an in-depth analysis and expert commentary on the role of genetics, lifestyle factors, biomarkers, neuroimaging, cognitive domains, artificial intelligence, and innate immunity in MS pathogenesis

A complete guide to a healthy and active life with MS on the Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis Program, with chapters from a team of international experts and personal stories from around the world.

by Angela Williams (Author, Editor)
Provides information about the risk factors, causes, and types of multiple sclerosis and its effects on mobility, vision, bladder function, speech, swallowing, and cognition

This two-volume set LNCS 12658 and 12659 constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 6th International MICCAI Brainlesion Workshop, BrainLes 2020, the International Multimodal Brain Tumor Segmentation (BraTS) challenge, and the Computational Precision Medicine: Radiology-Pathology Challenge on Brain Tumor Classification (CPM-RadPath) challenge. These were held jointly at the 23rd Medical Image Computing for Computer Assisted Intervention Conference, MICCAI 2020, in Lima, Peru, in October 2020.*

This book constitutes revised selected papers from the Third International MICCAI Brainlesion Workshop, BrainLes 2017, as well as the International Multimodal Brain Tumor Segmentation, BraTS, and White Matter Hyperintensities, WMH, segmentation challenges, which were held jointly at the Medical Image computing for Computer Assisted Intervention Conference, MICCAI, in Quebec City, Canada, in September 2017.
The 40 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 46 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: brain lesion image analysis; brain tumor image segmentation; and ischemic stroke lesion image segmentation.

The authors of this volume attempt to throw light on the labyrinth of multiple sclerosis, approaching the disease from the viewpoint of epidemiology, autoimmune reactions, symptomatology, mental and physical decline, diagnostic procedures, prognosis, and treatment.
