Joan posted this translation on her fantastic page, CCSVI in Multiple Sclerosis The prof. Zamboni in an interview with the newspaper Avvenire I did not expect anything different. Moreover the study Cosmo is vitiated by a defect of origin. Paolo Zamboni, a vascular surgeon at the University of Ferrara which assumes a relationship between multiple sclerosis and some malformations of the neck veins (chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency, CCSVI), is not surprised by the rejection come from Lyon. But he adds: Just today came out in a major journal and my study of English with some biophysical data that confirm the correlation with more objective data. The study Cosmo denies correlations between CCSVI and multiple sclerosis. What do you think? From this study I came out at the design stage, because I knew that the proposed methodology would lead to this negative result. The problem is that the easiest way to make the diagnosis is ultrasound, but it is a method in which there is a great variability of results by your employees, where the judgment comes from an interpretation of the data. We had proposed to carry out the examination by a radiologist or a angiologist vascular, more experienced in the field; viceversa neurologists wanted to claim for itself the management and they did do a training program for staff neurological, but the ultrasound examination is very complex. This explains the different result? The presence of CCSVI in MS patients is confirmed by scientists cardiovascular area in a proportion varying between 60 and 100 per cent of the cases. Conversely scholars with formation neurological, in most cases, are not associated to patients and believe present in an amount in the general population. This split in the scientific world leaves the dispute fully open. There is no way of settlement? Last week, in a consensus conference of radiologists Professor Giovanni Simonetti (University of Rome Tor Vergata) has proposed the use of a built-in diagnostics with four exams : catheter venography, MRI of the veins, Doppler ultrasound, plethysmography cervical. This way you could have more reliable data. So the study Cosmo has no validity? I had already said that if the epidemiological data is not collected properly, the result is not the real one. May I point out that today (yesterday, ed ) came out of Phlebology (leading magazine for diseases of the veins), a work that I conducted in collaboration with biophysical English, which demonstrates - with a method that is not operator dependent - that in patients with multiple sclerosis and Ccsvi the blood that comes out from the brain encounters a greater hydraulic resistance due to the blocks. Or indicate our study, done in collaboration with colleagues in New York and presented yesterday just in Lyon, which shows that interventions to cerebral veins produce improvements. I recall that we are talking about a disease that you do not yet know the cause, nor the pathogenic process. And you want to hinder the freedom of research? avvenire.it/Cronaca/Pagine/replicazamboni.aspx
