TL;DR: Today there is a need for more exact criteria than existed earlier in order to conduct therapeutic trials in multicenter programs, to compare epidemiological surveys, to evaluate new diagnostic procedures, and to estimate the activity of the disease process in MS.

TL;DR: The history of clinical diagnostic criteria demonstrates the evolution from rather tentative classifications of restricted value to the more elaborate 1983 scheme which incorporates some laboratory procedures under the rubric paraclinical tests as well as a new category based on the presence of specific abnormalities of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the baseline characteristics of the participants in the Three-City (3C) Study, a study aiming to evaluate the risk of dementia and cognitive impairment attributable to vascular factors.

TL;DR: The new, third edition of this classic is almost 100 pages longer than the previous one and represents what one could well call a textbook of diseases of the brain (as opposed to the rest of the nervous system); it might frighten the physicians most likely to benefit from the book's frequent perusal.

TL;DR: This book is concerned with pain not as a warning signal, but as an enemy that can be defeated, and by this definition surgery should be reserved for the relief of pain produced by conditions.
