https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Index ${session.getAttribute("locale")} 5 Natalizumab Versus Fingolimod in Patients with Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis: A Subgroup Analysis From Three International Cohorts https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:49803 38 years (1.34; 1.04–1.73); those with disease duration > 7 years (1.33; 1.01–1.74); those with EDSS score < 6 (1.21; 1.01–1.46) and ≥ 6 (1.93; 1.11–3.34); and patients with no new MRI lesion (1.73; 1.19–2.51). 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 ]]> The clinical profile of NMOSD in Australia and New Zealand https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:42666 Wed 31 Aug 2022 14:05:33 AEST ]]> Validation of a Flow Cytometry Live Cell-Based Assay to Detect Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Antibodies for Clinical Diagnostics https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:46794 Wed 30 Nov 2022 14:31:28 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. Therapy may delay the onset of secondary progression.]]> Wed 24 May 2023 12:22:34 AEST ]]> Clinical course, therapeutic responses and outcomes in relapsing MOG antibody-associated demyelination https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:45703 Wed 24 Jan 2024 14:33:03 AEDT ]]> Comparison of BICAMS and ARCS for assessment of cognition in multiple sclerosis and predictive value of employment status https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:38853 r = 0.3–0.5; P ≤ 0.05). 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 ]]> Parity is associated with long-term differences in DNA methylation at genes related to neural plasticity in multiple sclerosis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53345 Wed 22 Nov 2023 10:19:25 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 ]]> Epigenome-wide association studies: current knowledge, strategies and recommendations https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:48596 Wed 22 Mar 2023 08:46:40 AEDT ]]> 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 ]]> The association between disability progression, relapses, and treatment in early relapse onset MS: an observational, multi-centre, longitudinal cohort study. https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54897 Wed 20 Mar 2024 13:32:33 AEDT ]]> Treatment satisfaction, safety, and tolerability of cladribine tablets in patients with highly active relapsing multiple sclerosis: CLARIFY-MS study 6-month interim analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:48943 Wed 19 Apr 2023 13:52:09 AEST ]]> 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 ]]> Locus for severity implicates CNS resilience in progression of multiple sclerosis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52436 Wed 11 Oct 2023 14:54:40 AEDT ]]> Real-world effectiveness of cladribine for Australian patients with multiple sclerosis: an MSBase registry substudy https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:39516 Wed 10 Aug 2022 11:31:35 AEST ]]> CEST 2022 - Differences in APT-weighted signal in T1 weighted isointense lesions, black holes and normal-appearing white matter in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53604 75% (AUC = 0.79, SE = 0.014).

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).

There was a significant decrease in WML diffusivities and an increase in FA over the follow-up period in most TOIs (pFDR ≤ 0.001). Additionally, there were no differences in DTI parameters across treatment groups. AD and MD were positively correlated with fatigue scores (r ≤ 0.33, p ≤ 0.01) in NAWM-TOIs, while disability (EDSS) was negatively correlated with FA in most NAWM-TOIs (|r|≤0.31, p ≤ 0.01) at both time points. Disability scores correlated with all diffusivity parameters (r ≤ 0.29, p ≤ 0.01) in most WML-TOIs at both time points. Conclusion: Statistically significant changes in diffusion metrics in WML might be indicative of integrity improvement over two years in CTS tracts in clinically stable pw-RRMS.

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. This finding suggests a continuum exists between MS and idiopathic intracranial hypertension.]]> Thu 24 Mar 2022 11:30:10 AEDT ]]> Conceiving complexity: Biological mechanisms underpinning the lasting effect of pregnancy on multiple sclerosis outcomes https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51627 Thu 23 Nov 2023 14:26:15 AEDT ]]> Managing cognitive impairment and its impact in multiple sclerosis: An Australian multidisciplinary perspective https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52643 Thu 19 Oct 2023 15:18:30 AEDT ]]> Comparison Between Dimethyl Fumarate, Fingolimod, and Ocrelizumab After Natalizumab Cessation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52624 Thu 19 Oct 2023 14:15:33 AEDT ]]> NLRP3 polymorphisms and response to interferon-beta in multiple sclerosis patients https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:43306 Thu 15 Sep 2022 13:54:25 AEST ]]> Erythrocyte microRNA sequencing reveals differential expression in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:32442 Thu 09 Dec 2021 11:04:09 AEDT ]]> Cladribine versus fingolimod, natalizumab and interferon β for multiple sclerosis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:36736 Thu 02 Jul 2020 16:31:45 AEST ]]> Predictors of relapse and disability progression in MS patients who discontinue disease-modifying therapy https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:41240 Sat 30 Jul 2022 12:19:30 AEST ]]> Prediction of Conversion from CIS to Clinically Definite Multiple Sclerosis Using Convolutional Neural Networks https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52843 Mon 30 Oct 2023 09:54:52 AEDT ]]> A pharmacogenetic study implicates NINJ2 in the response to Interferon-ß in multiple sclerosis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:38338 -4, hazard ratio = 1.41).

A greater EDSS was associated with age (β = 0.45 (per decade), p<0.001) and disease duration (β = 0.07 per year, p <0.001). A slower increase in EDSS was associated with azathioprine (β = -0.48, p <0.001), mycophenolate mofetil (β = -0.69, p = 0.04) and rituximab (β = -0.35, p = 0.024). Interpretation: This study has demonstrated that azathioprine and mycophenolate mofetil reduce the risk of relapses and disability progression is modified by azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil and rituximab. Age and disease duration were the only patient characteristics that modified the risk of relapse and disability in our cohort.]]> Mon 29 Mar 2021 13:09:59 AEDT ]]> Epigenetic differences at the HTR2A locus in progressive multiple sclerosis patients https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:38628 + T cells of relapsing–remitting (RR) MS patients compared to healthy controls and identified differentially methylated regions (DMRs) in HLA-DRB1 and RNF39. 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 ]]> Genome-wide DNA methylation changes in CD19⁺ B cells from relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis patients https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:35542 Mon 26 Aug 2019 15:28:04 AEST ]]> 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 ]]> Fast WASABI post-processing: Access to rapid B0 and B1 correction in clinical routine for CEST MRI https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54037 Mon 24 Jun 2024 15:39:11 AEST ]]> Letter to the editor: blood processing and sample storage have negligible effects on methylation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:47575 Mon 23 Jan 2023 14:00:36 AEDT ]]> 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 ]]> Diurnal stability and long-term repeatability of neurometabolites using single voxel 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:36797 Mon 06 Jul 2020 16:25:41 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 ]]> Ensemble machine learning identifies genetic loci associated with future worsening of disability in people with multiple sclerosis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52379 Mon 01 Jul 2024 10:27:10 AEST ]]> Altered in vivo brain GABA and glutamate levels are associated with multiple sclerosis central fatigue https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:40208 Mon 01 Aug 2022 09:10:25 AEST ]]> 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 ]]> Evaluation of MS related central fatigue using MR neuroimaging methods: scoping review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:47726 Fri 24 Feb 2023 14:56:06 AEDT ]]> Stability of longitudinal DTI metrics in MS with treatment of injectables, fingolimod and dimethyl fumarate https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51918 Fri 22 Sep 2023 10:40:32 AEST ]]> Comparative effectiveness of cladribine tablets versus other oral disease-modifying treatments for multiple sclerosis: Results from MSBase registry https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51882 Fri 22 Sep 2023 09:08:11 AEST ]]> Examining the environmental risk factors of progressive-onset and relapsing-onset multiple sclerosis: recruitment challenges, potential bias, and statistical strategies https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53931 Fri 22 Mar 2024 08:23:10 AEDT ]]> 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).
