Durable B‐Cell Impairment While Sparing IgA B Cells After Ocrelizumab Therapy in Multiple Sclerosis
ABSTRACT Objectives Ocrelizumab (OCR), a humanized anti‐CD20 monoclonal antibody, is highly efficient in relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis (RR‐MS). We assessed early cellular B‐cell profiles in patients prior to OCR treatment, on OCR treatment, and after 15 months of therapy discontinuation.

Circulating Interleukin‐6 Levels and Timing of Acute Ischemic Stroke Onset
ABSTRACT Intravenous thrombolysis is the most widely available effective ischemic stroke treatment, but is approved only if given within 4.5 h from stroke onset. Many patients are not treated because stroke onset time is unknown. We evaluated the cytokine interleukin 6 (IL‐6) in circulating blood after acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

The Road Not Taken: Misclassifying an Anti‐Seizure Medication as a Failure
ABSTRACT Objective To quantify how often anti‐seizure medications (ASMs) appear ineffective yet provide benefit when considering seizure frequency (SF) variability. Methods We used the CHOCOLATES seizure diary simulator to generate 100,000 patient seizure diaries that reflect natural SF variation in a heterogeneous population.
