The distribution of plaques in the cerebrum in multiple sclerosis

Abstract

One of the fundamental problems posed by multiple sclerosis is concerned with the distribution of the pathological lesions called plaques. The literature concerning the histopathology of this disease is immense but a recent review by Lumsden (1955) did not refer to any paper in which the position of plaques in the cerebrum had been determined with any exactitude although such an exact study was made on the spinal cord of eight cases by Fog (1950), who found that spinal plaques occurred consistently in certain regions. This work was based on histo-logical sections cut transversely through the spinal cord, a technique also applicable to the brain-stem but not essential in the cerebrum where the position of plaques can be seen sufficiently well by the naked

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
