question:
Question: Does short-term , high-dose glucocorticoid treatment contribute to reduced bone mineral density in patients with multiple sclerosis?
Answer: Reduced BMD was prevalent in patients with MS. GC treatment appears not to be the primary underlying cause of secondary osteoporosis in MS patients.
answer:
no


question:
Question: Is cerebral acetylcholinesterase activity decreased in MS patients with cognitive impairment?
Answer: In the patient group regional AChE activities had inverse correlations with Word learning and MMSE (Mini-Mental State Examination) scores. In the group of cognitively deteriorated MS patients no change in cerebral AChE activity, compared with controls, was observed, but within the patient group more pronounced cognitive symptoms were associated with higher cerebral AChE activity.
answer:
no


question:
Question: Is fluorescence in situ hybridization on peripheral-blood specimens a reliable method to evaluate cytogenetic response in chronic myeloid leukemia?
Answer: Our results confirmed that FISH is a sensitive technique for the evaluation of response to treatment in patients with CML. Moreover, our study suggests that follow-up of cytogenetic response to therapy can be evaluated on peripheral-blood specimens, thus enabling an easier and more frequent evaluation of patients. The next step will be to evaluate this technique in a large prospective trial to define the prognostic value of complete remissions evaluated by FISH.
answer:

yes
