Conclusions: Overall, in women, younger patients, those with shorter disease durations, and patients with pre-treatment relapses, natalizumab was associated with a lower frequency of multiple sclerosis relapses than fingolimod. It was also associated with an increased chance of recovery from disability among most patients, particularly women and those with no recent MRI activity.]]> Wed 31 May 2023 15:59:42 AEST ]]> A pro-inflammatory diet in people with multiple sclerosis is associated with an increased rate of relapse and increased FLAIR lesion volume on MRI in early multiple sclerosis: A prospective cohort study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51575 Wed 29 May 2024 15:12:23 AEST ]]> Characterization of the human myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody response in demyelination https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:48348 Wed 28 Aug 2024 09:55:39 AEST ]]> The MSReactor computerized cognitive battery correlates with the processing speed test in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:39575 Wed 27 Jul 2022 14:43:55 AEST ]]> Automatic and robust segmentation of multiple sclerosis lesions with convolutional neural networks https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:45246 Wed 26 Oct 2022 15:22:01 AEDT ]]> Risk of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis: a longitudinal study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:38068 p <0.001), longer disease duration (HR=1.01, p=0.038), a higher Expanded Disability Status Scale score (HR=1.30, p<0.001), more rapid disability trajectory (HR=2.82, p<0.001) and greater number of relapses in the previous year (HR=1.07, p=0.010) were independently associated with an increased risk of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. Improving disability (HR=0.62, p=0.039) and disease-modifying therapy exposure (HR=0.71, p=0.007) were associated with a lower risk. Recent cerebral magnetic resonance imaging activity, evidence of spinal cord lesions and oligoclonal bands in the cerebrospinal fluid were not associated with the risk of conversion. Conclusion:Risk of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis increases with age, duration of illness and worsening disability and decreases with improving disability.

Total ARCS predicts cognitive impairment with good sensitivity and specificity relative to the BICAMS tests (AUC = 0.8; P = 0.00045). Total ARCS detects higher levels of impairment than BICAMS in MS patients (44% versus 21%). The memory domain of the ARCS and the BVMT-R were the best predictors of employment status (OR = 1.12 and 1.14, P  < 0.05). Conclusion: BICAMS and ARCS have comparable sensitivity for cognitive impairment in MS. Memory assessment from either tests is the best predictor of employment status; however, the BICAMS is a better predictor of work productivity.]]> Wed 23 Nov 2022 15:41:25 AEDT ]]> Concentrations of plasma-borne extracellular particles differ between multiple sclerosis disease courses and compared to healthy controls https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:38878 n = 13) erythrocyte-derived (CD235a) extracellular particles were increased, while platelet-derived (CD41b), leukocyte-derived (CD45), and CD4+T cell-derived (CD4) extracellular particles were decreased compared to both healthy controls (n = 27) (p<0.05) and secondary progressive multiple sclerosis patients (n = 9) (p < 0.05). Endothelium-derived extracellular particles (CD146) were increased in stable relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis patients (n = 17) compared to healthy controls (p < 0.05). Extracellular particles from several different cells of origin correlated with each other and clinical parameters (e.g. disease duration, number of relapses, EDSS), though clinical correlations did not withstand corrections for multiple comparisons. Conclusions: Concentrations of erythrocyte-, leukocyte-, and platelet-derived extracellular particles were altered in relapsing multiple sclerosis patients and endothelium-derived extracellular particles were increased in stable relapsing-remitting patients compared to healthy controls. Extracellular particles may provide insights into altered the crosstalk between peripheral blood cells in multiple sclerosis, which may lead to the discovery of novel therapeutic targets.]]> Wed 23 Feb 2022 11:05:08 AEDT ]]> A plain language summary on the effectiveness of cladribine tablets compared with other oral treatments for multiple sclerosis: results from the MSBase registry https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51433 Wed 22 May 2024 15:28:13 AEST ]]> Investigation of erythrocyte and erythrocyte-derived extracellular vesicle content and function in multiple sclerosis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:39262 Wed 22 Jun 2022 19:13:42 AEST ]]> Patient-determined disease steps is not interchangeable with the Expanded Disease Status Scale in mild to moderate multiple sclerosis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54397 Wed 21 Feb 2024 15:48:45 AEDT ]]> A pro-inflammatory diet is associated with long-term depression and anxiety levels but not fatigue in people with multiple sclerosis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54877 Wed 20 Mar 2024 13:18:34 AEDT ]]> Multiple Sclerosis Severity Score (MSSS) improves the accuracy of individualized prediction in MS https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51652 Wed 13 Sep 2023 10:00:03 AEST ]]> Theatre, autopathography and the medicalised self: imaging health from the shadows of illness https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52621 Wed 13 Mar 2024 14:21:36 AEDT ]]> Central vein sign for multiple sclerosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:38205 2 = 0.0%; p=0.5).

The objective of the current study is to determine the effect of a combined antibiotic protocol (CAP) on the venous flow in MS patients as measured by a quantitative duplex ultrasound examination (QDUS). Method: A non-randomised before-after cohort study was conducted to investigate differences in blood flow volumes pre and 6-months post antibiotic treatment for Cpn infection. Flow volume data were measured by QDUS across affected and unaffected sides from multiple veins segments, including internal jugular vein (IJV) segments J2 and J3, and vertebral vein (VV), as well as global arterial blood flow (GABF). Results: 91 patients were included in the study. 64 (70%) were found to have positive Cpn serology. There was a statistically significant post-treatment difference seen for the affected side of Cpn infected patients (mean difference = 56 mL/min, p = 0.02). There was a non-significant increase seen for the affected side of uninfected patients (mean difference = 23 mL/min, p = 0.2). The difference in these effects (34 mL/min) was not statistically significant (p = 0.3). The mean flow rate decreased in the unaffected side for both infected (-27 mL/min, p = 0.5) and uninfected patients (-69 mL/min, p = 0.01). There was a statistically significant post-treatment increase in GABF for the infected patients (mean difference = 90 mL/min, p = 0.02) and a difference of 76 mL/min for non-infected patients (p = 0.01). Conclusion: A CAP appears to improve the extra-cranial circulation in patients diagnosed with MS. This effect is statistically significant in patients with positive Cpn serology, although patients with negative Cpn serology also show some benefit, betraying a lack of specificity of this effect.]]> Wed 05 Feb 2020 14:51:07 AEDT ]]> Comparing ocrelizumab to interferon/glatiramer acetate in people with multiple sclerosis over age 60 https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:56301 Wed 04 Sep 2024 11:43:50 AEST ]]> The effectiveness of natalizumab vs fingolimod - A comparison of international registry studies https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:38113 Wed 04 Aug 2021 11:40:28 AEST ]]> The immune cell transcriptome is modulated by vitamin D3 supplementation in people with a first demyelinating event participating in a randomized placebo-controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:55899 Wed 03 Jul 2024 15:33:32 AEST ]]> Longitudinal machine learning modeling of MS patient trajectories improves predictions of disability progression https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:45667 Wed 02 Nov 2022 15:59:08 AEDT ]]> Estimation of annual probabilities of changing disability levels in Australians with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:47837 n = 330), annual transition probabilities were obtained between no/mild (Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) levels 0-3.5), moderate (EDSS 4-6.0) and severe (EDSS 6.5-9.5) disability. Results: From no/mild disability, 6.4% (95% confidence interval (CI): 4.7-8.4) and 0.1% (0.0-0.2) progressed to moderate and severe disability annually, respectively. From moderate disability, 6.9% (1.0-11.4) improved (to no/mild state) and 2.6% (1.1-4.5) worsened. From severe disability, 0.0% improved to moderate and no/mild disability. Male sex, age at onset, longer disease duration, not using immunotherapies greater than 3 months and a history of relapse were related to higher probabilities of worsening. Conclusion: We have estimated probabilities of changing disability levels in Australians with RRMS. Probabilities differed between various subgroups, but due to small sample sizes, results should be interpreted with caution. Our findings will be helpful in predicting long-term disease outcomes and in health economic evaluations of MS.]]> Wed 01 Feb 2023 15:34:54 AEDT ]]> Improvements in quality of life over 2 years with cladribine tablets in people with relapsing multiple sclerosis: The CLARIFY-MS study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54058 Tue 30 Jan 2024 13:55:44 AEDT ]]> Early non-disabling relapses are important predictors of disability accumulation in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51272 Tue 29 Aug 2023 15:42:42 AEST ]]> Dilatation of the bridging cerebral veins in multiple sclerosis correlates with fatigue and suggests an increase in pressure https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:50909 Tue 29 Aug 2023 11:01:27 AEST ]]> The MOG antibody non-P42 epitope is predictive of a relapsing course in MOG antibody-Associated disease https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:55423 Tue 28 May 2024 14:56:42 AEST ]]> The effect of emerging nutraceutical interventions for clinical and biological outcomes in multiple sclerosis: A systematic review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:39853 Tue 26 Jul 2022 10:28:34 AEST ]]> Multiple Sclerosis Relapses Following Cessation of Fingolimod https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53300 Tue 21 Nov 2023 12:02:22 AEDT ]]> Neurometabolic changes in multiple sclerosis: Fingolimod versus beta interferon or glatiramer acetate therapy https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53309 .05).

The commonest cause of the stenosis was a giant arachnoid granulation. The optic nerve sheaths were larger in MS than controls (p=0.0006). Comparing MS patients with transverse sinus stenosis to those without, the pituitary height was 16% smaller and BMI 25% larger (p=0.02 and 0.003 respectively) Conclusion: In patients with MS, the reduction in venous sinus compliance is associated with venous outflow stenoses in the transverse sinuses which increases the upstream venous pressure and dilates the sagittal sinuses.

Results: Twenty-eight studies met inclusion criteria. Twenty-three of these were randomised controlled trials, with 1246 total participants. This review reports on this data, with non-randomised study data reported in supplemental material. Post -intervention relaxation was associated with medium to large effect-size improvement for depression, anxiety, stress and fatigue. The effects of relaxation were superior to wait-list or no treatment control conditions; however, comparisons with established psychological or physical therapies were mixed. Individual studies reported sustained effects (≤ 6 months) with relaxation for stress, pain and quality of life. Most studies were rated as having a high/serious risk of bias. Conclusion: There is emerging evidence that relaxation therapies can improve outcomes for persons with multiple sclerosis.

This study aimed to investigate the DNA methylation profiles of the CD4+ T cells of progressive MS patients. DNA methylation was measured in two separate case/control cohorts using the Illumina 450K/EPIC arrays and data was analysed with the Chip Analysis Methylation Pipeline (ChAMP). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were assessed using the Illumina Human OmniExpress24 arrays and analysed using PLINK. Expression was assessed using the Illumina HT12 array and analysed in R using a combination of Limma and Illuminaio. We identified three DMRs at HTR2A, SLC17A9 and HDAC4 that were consistent across both cohorts. The DMR at HTR2A is located within the bounds of a haplotype block; however, the DMR remained significant after accounting for SNPs in the region. No expression changes were detected in any DMRs. HTR2A is differentially methylated in progressive MS independent of genotype. This differential methylation is not evident in RRMS, making it a potential biomarker of progressive disease.]]> Mon 29 Jan 2024 17:52:47 AEDT ]]> Association of Initial Disease-Modifying Therapy with Later Conversion to Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:48109 Mon 27 Feb 2023 15:22:15 AEDT ]]> Comparison of fingolimod, dimethyl fumarate and teriflunomide for multiple sclerosis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:48108 Mon 27 Feb 2023 15:18:00 AEDT ]]> Rituximab vs Ocrelizumab in Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51965 Mon 25 Sep 2023 08:53:21 AEST ]]> Association of inflammation and disability accrual in patients with progressive-onset multiple sclerosis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:36719 Mon 24 Aug 2020 10:45:35 AEST ]]> Spiral MRSI and tissue segmentation of normal-appearing white matter and white matter lesions in relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis patients https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:42377 Mon 22 Aug 2022 14:29:24 AEST ]]> Evaluation of Cell-Specific Epigenetic Age Acceleration in People With Multiple Sclerosis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53246 Mon 20 Nov 2023 10:14:36 AEDT ]]> Biochemical Correlations with Fatigue in Multiple Sclerosis Detected by MR 2D Localized Correlated Spectroscopy https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:43429 P ≤ .05).

With further validation, this signature could be used in future trials with high-risk patients to personalise the management of cognitive decline in pwMS, even in the absence of relapses.]]> Mon 11 Mar 2024 14:19:33 AEDT ]]> The COVID-19 pandemic and the use of MS disease-modifying therapies https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:39532 Mon 08 Aug 2022 11:20:12 AEST ]]> Anti-inflammatory disease-modifying treatment and disability progression in primary progressive multiple sclerosis: a cohort study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:42843 n = 195; untreated n = 338). Median on-study pairwise-censored follow-up was 3.4 years (quartiles 1.2–5.5). No difference in the hazard of experiencing 3-month confirmed EDSS progression events was observed between the groups [hazard ratio (HR), 1.0; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.6–1.7, P = 0.87]. We did not find significant differences in the hazards of confirmed EDSS improvement (HR, 1.0; 95% CI, 0.6–1.6, P = 0.91) or reaching a confirmed EDSS step ≥7 (HR, 1.1; 95% CI, 0.7–1.6, P = 0.69). Conclusion: Our pooled analysis of disease-modifying agents suggests that these therapies have no substantial effect on short- to medium-term disability outcomes in PPMS.]]> Mon 05 Sep 2022 14:44:21 AEST ]]> Dairy and gluten in disease activity in multiple sclerosis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54090 Mon 05 Feb 2024 09:20:42 AEDT ]]> Prediction of on-treatment disability worsening in RRMS with the MAGNIMS score https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:46553 Fri 25 Nov 2022 11:33:34 AEDT ]]> Possible Markers of Venous Sinus Pressure Elevation in Multiple Sclerosis: Correlations with Gender and Disease Progression https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:48646 Fri 24 Mar 2023 13:51:57 AEDT ]]> Safety of exercise training in multiple sclerosis: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54950 Fri 22 Mar 2024 15:28:58 AEDT ]]> The dilated veins surrounding the cord in multiple sclerosis suggest elevated pressure and obstruction of the glymphatic system https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54939 Fri 22 Mar 2024 14:38:41 AEDT ]]> The dilated cortical veins found in multiple sclerosis can explain the reduction in glymphatic flow https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54938 Fri 22 Mar 2024 14:32:28 AEDT ]]> Association of Pregnancy with the Onset of Clinically Isolated Syndrome https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:41083 Fri 22 Jul 2022 17:11:28 AEST ]]> Comparing switch to ocrelizumab, cladribine or natalizumab after fingolimod treatment cessation in multiple sclerosis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53317 Fri 19 Jan 2024 14:25:45 AEDT ]]> A longitudinal analysis of brain volume changes in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53845 .1).
