This Week on NeurologyLive

Article

Here's what is coming soon to NeurologyLive.

Every week, the NeurologyLive staff prepares this preview of what to expect from our coverage. This week on NeurologyLive, there are a number of hot topics that we will be posting throughout the week.

A feature story from NeurologyLive's October 2020 print issue covering the complex challenges in addressing sleep-disordered breathing, and the current alternative approaches being explored to overcome them, goes live Monday. In the piece, Nicola Davies, PhD, discusses how addressing sleep apnea at a physiological level may reasonably be more effective and have fewer adverse effects than more traditional treatment modalities that may only target one mechanism.

She discussed the results of a recent study she and colleagues conducted which revealed a number of new neurologic symptoms associated with COVID-19 infection in patients.

Segment 4 of the “Rapid Readout: Expert Perspectives on Multiple Sclerosis” News Network series featuring Mark Freedman, MD, MSc, will air this week. Freedman gave an overview of the phase 3 OPTIMUM study involving ponesimod and how the reduction in MRI-based outcomes, including brain atrophy, is significant in supporting the clinical outcome of relapse rate reduction in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
