Demyelination

One risk is that the cerebral edema induced by the hypo-osmolality is clearly a bad thing and should not be allowed to persist and worsen and on the other hand there is the somewhat mysterious spectre of osmotic demyelination which is typically referred to by one of it forms namely central pontine myelinolysis. ❋ James Gaulte (2007)

In transverse myelitis, demyelination and injury to bundles of axonal nerves occurs in focal areas of the spinal cord, often leading to permanent and severe paralysis. ❋ Donna Jackson Nakazawa (2008)

The process of demyelination interrupts the electrical impulses that run through these nerve fibers, causing weakness and paralysis. ❋ Donna Jackson Nakazawa (2008)

Sadly, those most in need of protection—people susceptible to demyelination and paralysis should they come down with an acute infection—are also those most likely to be at risk of severe adverse effects from the very vaccines meant to help them. ❋ Donna Jackson Nakazawa (2008)

Central-nervous-system demyelination after immunisation with recombinant hepatitis B vaccine. ❋ Donna Jackson Nakazawa (2008)

This would show if there are any other areas of demyelination, which would increase the risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS). ❋ Unknown (2008)

Exacerbations result in new symptoms or aggravation old symptoms by causing inflammation and demyelination in the CNS. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Attention has recently focused on the beneficial effects of fatty foods in multiple sclerosis, but no one knows for sure whether diets high in fat help stave off demyelination of nerve fibers. ❋ MD Julian Seifter (2010)

Most children with ASD do not show current signs of myelin damage, though many of them test positive for antibodies to myelin basic protein, suggesting that demyelination may have played a role at one point, as it did in the Bailey Banks case. ❋ Unknown (2009)

That brand increased the risk of demyelination by 74%, and patients with confirmed multiple sclerosis were nearly three times more likely to develop the disorder. ❋ Unknown (2009)

"Hepatitis B vaccination does not generally increase the risk of CNS inflammatory demyelination in childhood," the authors concluded. ❋ Unknown (2009)

A study published last October in the journal Neurology found that children who received the Hepatitis B vaccine series were 50% more likely to develop "central nervous system inflammatory demyelination" than children who did not receive the vaccine. ❋ Unknown (2009)
