Los Angeles Times: Multiple sclerosis theory dealt a blow by studies

An article in the Los Angeles Times reports a novel theory about the cause of multiple sclerosis took a hit Monday from two studies that called into question the premise that the disease is the result of obstruction in the veins carrying blood from the brain back to the heart. The article reports that a study of venous blood flow is ongoing at UB, where treatment for venous insufficiency is being offered in clinical trials. The article also appeared in the Hartford Courant and St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
