Journal ArticleDOI
Cerebral microembolism in acute spontaneous internal carotid artery dissection.
Carlos A. Molina,José Alvarez-Sabín,W. Schonewille,Joan Montaner,Alex Rovira,Sònia Abilleira,A Codina +6 more
TL;DR: MES detection on serial TCD monitoring may be associated with an increased risk of early ischemic recurrence in patients with acute ICAD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early brain pseudoatrophy while on natalizumab therapy is due to white matter volume changes
Angela Vidal-Jordana,Jaume Sastre-Garriga,Francisco Pérez-Miralles,Carmen Tur,Mar Tintoré,Alejandro Horga,Cristina Auger,Jordi Río,Carlos Nos,M.C. Edo,María Jesús Arévalo,Joaquín Castilló,Alex Rovira,Xavier Montalban +13 more
TL;DR: Early brain volume loss during natalizumab therapy is mainly due to WMF volume loss and it is related to the inflammatory activity present at the onset of therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Will Rogers phenomenon in multiple sclerosis.
Maria Pia Sormani,Mar Tintoré,Marco Rovaris,Alex Rovira,Xavier Vidal,Paolo Bruzzi,Massimo Filippi,Xavier Montalban +7 more
TL;DR: Using different criteria for classifying patients into various stages of a disease can modify the stage‐specific prognosis, even though the overall disease course remains unchanged, because of the Will Rogers phenomenon.
Journal ArticleDOI
A toolbox for multiple sclerosis lesion segmentation
Eloy Roura,Arnau Oliver,Mariano Cabezas,Sergi Valverde,Deborah Pareto,Joan C. Vilanova,Lluís Ramió-Torrentà,Alex Rovira,Xavier Lladó +8 more
TL;DR: A new tool for automated MS lesion segmentation using T1w and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images is presented and implemented as a publicly available SPM8/12 extension that can be used by both the medical and research communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progression of Symptomatic Intracranial Large Artery Atherosclerosis Is Associated With a Proinflammatory State and Impaired Fibrinolysis
Juan F. Arenillas,José Alvarez-Sabín,Carlos A. Molina,Pilar Chacón,Israel Fernandez-Cadenas,Marc Ribó,Pilar Delgado,Marta Rubiera,Anna Penalba,Alex Rovira,Joan Montaner +10 more
TL;DR: Progression of symptomatic ILA is associated with a proinflammatory state, as reflected by high levels of inflammatory markers, and with defective fibrinolysis, as indicated by raised concentrations of endogenous fibrinilysis inhibitors.
