A Tripartite Model for EBV‐Driven Multiple Sclerosis: B Cell Survival, Altered Self‐Presentation, and HLA‐DR15‐Restricted T Cell Cross‐Reactivity

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This commentary integrates findings from three recent Cell reports to establish a unified mechanistic model of multiple sclerosis (MS) driven by the interplay between Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV) and the HLA‐DR15 genotype. EBV promotes CNS autoimmunity through three distinct but intersecting mechanisms.

The Role of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS), Diffusion‐Tensor‐Imaging (DTI) and Structural MRI in the Alzheimer's Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment Diagnosis: A Review

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most common neurological disorders affecting older adults, with approximately 7.2 million cases only in the United States. This number is projected to increase to 13.8 million in the United States by 2060, leading to increased expenditures for healthcare, long‐term care and hospice services. Consequently,

Personalized Treatment of Patients With Multiple Sclerosis: A Case Report and Literature Review

Medicine Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Managing multiple sclerosis (MS) with a highly active disease course presents significant challenges, particularly regarding the timing of therapeutic escalation and the preservation of brain volume. We present a personalized management strategy for a 36‐year‐old male with relapsing‐remitting MS (RRMS) who experienced initial misdiagnosis ...

The Hidden Burden of Hemifacial Spasm: A Systematic Review of Non‐Motor Symptoms

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by involuntary contractions of facial muscles. Traditionally regarded as a motor condition, HFS encompasses a spectrum of non‐motor symptoms that are often overlooked but significantly affect patients’ quality of life.
