Today is World MS Day
Neuros love a good debate and contrary to what you may think there is not always a uniformity of ideas.
They have been having debates for years and sometimes these occur in print.
Here is a list of examples that have occurred in the Multiple Sclerosis Journal over the past couple of years, with someone presenting the Yes over someone presenting the case for No.
- Epstein-Barr virus is a necessary causative agent in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis:
- Is MRI monitoring useful in clinical practice in patients with multiple sclerosis?
- Preventing brain atrophy should be the gold standard of effective therapy in MS
- Funding CCSVI research is/was a waste of valuable time, money and intellectual energy
- We should abandon interferons and glatiramer acetate as first-line therapy for MS
- Industrial pharmaceutical drug research has done more for the health of people with MS than academic neurologists
- There is no such thing as a mild MS relapse. The mild relapse is an Anglo-Saxon delusion
- Epidemiology in multiple sclerosis has had its day: there are no more unanswered questions
- Truly benign multiple sclerosis is rare: let's stop fooling ourselves
- Relapses do not matter in relation to long-term disability
- The major cause of multiple sclerosis is environmental: genetics has a minor role
If you were to listen to heavy weight Neurologists having a live debate, What would be important for you to hear?
Please make some suggestions.......for subjects to debate
