2019, Journal of AutoimmunityCitation Excerpt :A total of 21 studies reported MS epidemiology among immigrants. The most common host countries were Australia and Tasmania (N = 6) [36–41], Norway (N = 2) [42,43], Sweden (N = 2) [44,45], and Israel (N = 2) [46,47]. Other host countries were the UK [48], Germany [49], Estonia [50], Malta [51], Iran [52], West Indies [53], Hawaii [54] and Canada [55] with one study from each country.

2013, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :Assessment of white matter has become increasingly important for degenerative disease appraisal, since a breakdown in fiber communication speed or integrity can lead to severe behavioral consequences (Bartzokis et al., 2010; Schiavone et al., 2009). The progression of brain tissue change differs with normal aging between sexes in several brain sites, including the thalamus, hippocampus, pontine, and parietal lobes (Kanaan et al., 2012; Menzler et al., 2011; Murphy et al., 1996; Raz et al., 2001), and these changes coincide with greater vulnerability to neuropsychological consequences between genders of similar ages (Andersen et al., 1999; Fratiglioni et al., 2000; Hammond et al., 1987; Weinshenker et al., 1989). Neural pathologies also contribute to regional white matter degradation, which can be evaluated, but only after controlling for age and sex contributions to changes in those areas, values which are largely lacking in healthy adults.
