MS and Demyelinating Disorders

Research indicated that up to 46% of patients diagnosed with presumed autoimmune limbic encephalitis tested negative for all currently identified central nervous system antigens.

Recent findings showed that treatment with satralizumab was likely associated with a reduction in the concomitant use of immunosuppressive therapies in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder.

The study highlights a dramatic decrease in income for patients following disease onset and a significantly higher proportion of them requiring social welfare jobs or disability pensions.

Most relapses occurred before patients resumed immunotherapy after giving birth, suggesting that continued immunosuppression during pregnancy might help prevent attacks.

A feature on NeurologyLive®, IJMSC Insights offers a closer look at the latest research and the people behind it from the community of the International Journal of Multiple Sclerosis Care (IJMSC) and the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers (CMSC).

In this episode, Patricia Coyle, MD, FAAN, gave clinical insight on some of the next steps regarding S1P-modulating therapies, including some of the advantages of newer generation agents and the need for future studies to investigate benefits and limitations to each.

In this episode, Adnan Subei, DO, gave clinical background on ozanimod, the supportive trials behind the drug, and its known efficacy and safety profile to date.

Neurologist Adnan Subei, DO, gave clinical background on ozanimod, the supportive trials behind the drug, and its known efficacy and safety profile to date.

In this episode, Adnan Subei, DO, FAAN, discusses siponimod, a selective S1P receptor modulator approved in 2019, its clinical advantages, efficacy, and how it may be useful for patients with multiple sclerosis.

Acute clinical events with stable MRI were more likely among patients with multiple sclerosis who had longer disease duration, received highly effective disease-modifying therapies, and were presented with fatigue.

In this episode, Patricia Coyle, MD, FAAN, provides in-depth insight on fingolimod, the first approved S1P receptor modulator, and the clinical data pre- and post-approval.

In this episode, Patricia Coyle, MD, FAAN, describes the development of S1P modulator receptors, their mechanism of action, potential side effects, and considerations for patient suitability, particularly in comparison to other treatment options like monoclonal antibodies.

The study found a 98% agreement between treating physicians’ initial diagnoses and the new MOGAD criteria.

Here's some of what is coming soon to NeurologyLive® this week.

Epstein-Barr Virus-specific T cells in multiple sclerosis (MS) showed significant autoreactivity to central nervous system antigens, indicating a potential mechanism for MS-related damage.

Results showed that the DAAE Score performs well, with consistent risk estimates across the derivation (JMSC), internal-validation (JMSC), and external-validation (MSCA) dataset across treatment centers internationally.

Earlier this year, IDP-023 received fast track designation by the FDA for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

The meeting with the American Neurologic Association fosters collaboration, networking, and joint sessions, enhancing knowledge sharing among academic neurologists.

Here's the latest multidisciplinary multiple sclerosis (MS) research from the International Journal of MS Care.

In this episode, the panel discusses the emerging challenges for neurology departments, the shortage of neurologists, and the ways to disseminate between useful and useless information amid a busy career.

John England, MD, and Lisa Merlin, MD, commented on the significant changes to neurology over the years and how education aligns with the latest in treatments advancements and understanding of neurological disorders.

The duo provided insight on a number of key sessions clinicians and neurology educators should attend at the upcoming AUPN Annual Meeting.
