[New chapter in visual evoked potential studies - Clinical application of the multifocal vep method ]

JANÁKY Márta, PÁLFFY Andrea, BENEDEK Krisztina, BENEDEK György

[The multifocal visual evoked potentials are the evoked responses over the visual cortex in response to the stimulation of circumscribed small areas in the central 30 degree region of the retina. The recording of multifocal visual evoked potentials was made possible by the computer algorhythm elaborated by Sutter in 1991. Multifocal electroretinograpy, developed upon the same theoretical principles, is already an routine clinical examination method for the topographic analysis of functional... tovább »

CSÉPÁNY Tünde, BERECZKI Dániel

[During the past decade, several disease-modifying agents have been established and have become available for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. The disease-modifying agents could be grouped into immunomodulatory and immunosuppressive therapies altering the long-term course of multiple sclerosis. Therapy is now available for relapsing-remitting, secondary progressive and progressive-relapsing multiple sclerosis. Different disease-modifying agents became also available for the treatment of... tovább »
