An Italian researcher could go down in history for defeating multiple sclerosis. His name is Paolo Zamboni, who seems to have found the cause and possible cure.
The study, which will be published in the prestigious Journal of Vascular Surgery, points out that in 90 percent of cases the disease may be caused by obstruction to the veins that cause poor drainage of the brain.
The Research Manager says, "a less than optimal drainage allows the release of iron and immune cells in brain tissue, so that is damaged. I found that MS patients show a narrowing of the veins which I think is important for the development of disease. "
Dr. Zamboni has developed a possible treatment based on the insertion of balloons into the veins in order to broaden and so remove the obstruction. The success rate of intervention is very high, more than 70%. Among patients, there is the doctor's wife who was suffering from the disease since 1995. After the terrible diagnosis, Professor Zamboni had vowed to find a cure for multiple sclerosis, and after 15 years of study and of attempts seems to achieve success.
The personal story gives a section of humanity that might be associated with a potentially revolutionary scientific research. So far, the approach to the disease sought the solution in the immune system, while Dr. Zamboni now to the scientific community seems to reveal a truth much easier to detect, or cardiovascular implication.
These days, in Buffalo, United States, a group of researchers working hypothesis Zamboni trying to test the quality of intuition on a group of 1,100 patients who underwent Doppler on the veins of the neck and head .
"If we can prove the theory proposed by Italian colleagues of 'chronic venous insufficiency and cerebro-spinal' - American scientists have declared - our understanding of multiple sclerosis could change."
