The History of Cerebrospinal Fluid Analysis in Multiple Sclerosis: A Great Development over the Last Centuries

Authors: Vecchio Domizia

Abstract: Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) analysis acquired a great role in the 1990's when applied to Multiple Sclerosis (MS) diagnostic work-up. The "watery fluid" by Andreas Vesalius remained unstudied till the introduction of Lumbar Puncture (LP) at the eighteenth century.

Advances for the Pharmacotherapy of Parkinson's Disease: Pharmacological Handling of the Ca2+/cAMP Signalling Interaction

Authors: Leandro Bueno Bergantin and Afonso Caricati-Neto

Abstract: Reduction of dopamine release from striatal dopaminergic neurons due to neuronal death is the main accepted concept of Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease begins years before a clinical diagnosis can be consistently made (asymptomatic/slightly symptomatic patients).

Statins as an Adjuvant Therapy for Psychotic Disorders: Current Evidence with a Systematic Overview of Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trials

Authors: Tjardo S Postma, Lyliana G Nasib, Maya J L Schutte, Marc M Bohlken, Peter Martens, Erna van't Hag, Selene R T Veerman, Marieke J H Begemann and Iris E C Sommer

Abstract: Evidence is accumulating that inflammatory processes play a role in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. This suggests that anti-inflammatory drugs might have beneficial effects in the treatment of schizophrenia patients. Statins have cholesterol independent effects on inflammation and oxidative stress and could potentially improve positive, negative and/or cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia.

The Discovery of the "Calcium Paradox" Due to Ca2+/Camp Interaction: Novel Adventures for the Pharmacotherapy of Neurological/Psychiatric Disorders

Authors: Leandro Bueno Bergantin and Afonso Caricati-Neto

Abstract: Our discovery of the involvement of the interaction between intracellular signalling pathways mediated by Ca2+ and cAMP (Ca2+/cAMP interaction) in the neurotransmission and neuroprotection has produced new avenues in the understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of neurological and psychiatric disorders, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
