An article on BBC News reports on preliminary results from a UB study of multiple sclerosis patients that showed that more than 55 percent were found to have constricted blood vessels in their brains. The research received considerable media attention in the U.S., Canada and Britain, with more than 100 articles appearing in news outlets that include KGO-TV, an ABC affiliate in San Francisco, The Scotsman, England's Daily Telegraph, the Toronto Globe and Mail, Canada's National Post, CTV and the Hamilton Spectator. Results of the study also were reported on in the Buffalo News.
