Introduction Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a heterogeneous disease affecting a diverse population. Compared with white people with MS (PwMS), Black PwMS have more severe disease and higher incidence of MS, whereas Hispanic PwMS experience earlier onset ...

Trends in the use of disease-modifying therapies among reproductive-aged women with multiple sclerosis in the United States from 2010 to 2019 [PDF]
Purpose: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the central nervous system that disproportionately affects women, with typical onset during reproductive age. Several disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) are FDA-approved to slow disease progression,

ABSTRACT Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) places substantial socioeconomic burden on patients due to its early onset and progressive nature, but healthcare systems are also impacted by the high costs of disease‐modifying treatments (DMTs). The use of generics (for conventional drugs), biosimilars (for biologics) or follow‐on versions of non‐biologic ...

Inflammatory disease in people with multiple sclerosis treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors
Abstract This study evaluated disease activity in people with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS) who received immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) compared to PwMS not treated with ICIs. There were 108 PwMS included (27 PwMS+ICIs and 81 PwMS controls), matched on age, sex, disease duration, DMTs, and MS disease course. Of 27 PwMS+ICIs, one (4%) had a relapse and

Quality of life among injectable and oral disease-modifying therapy users in the Pacific Northwest Multiple Sclerosis Registry. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Nine oral disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) have been approved for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) in the United States. Few studies have examined self-reported quality of life (QoL) and functional status outcomes among patients who

Targeting Nrf2 for the treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy [PDF]
Imbalances in redox homeostasis can result in oxidative stress, which is implicated in various pathological conditions including the fatal neuromuscular disease Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).

This study aimed to assess gray matter (GM) atrophy, the contribution of white matter (WM) lesions, and consequent structural disconnectivity in minority patients with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). Minority PwMS were found to have greater lesion burden and GM atrophy. Differences in GM atrophy were partially mediated by WM pathology. Abstract Objective To

De‐Escalation of Disease‐Modifying Therapy in Multiple Sclerosis—A Danish Nationwide Cohort Study
ABSTRACT Background and Objective High‐efficacy (HE) disease‐modifying therapies (DMT) are increasingly used to treat multiple sclerosis (MS). Concerns arise when considering the decreasing efficacy and increasing risk of adverse events in aging patients.

Exploring the dual role of fumarate as an intracellular and extracellular hypoxia-induced signalling molecule [PDF]
Myocardial ischemia is characterised by a restriction in blood flow to the heart, which limits nutrient and oxygen supply and removal of waste products. In healthy hearts, ischemia triggers a cardiac metabolic shift from oxidative metabolism to anaerobic

Subclinical imaging activity in multiple sclerosis patients during war‐related psychological stress
Abstract Objectives Psychological stress has been suggested as a contributory factor in the onset and progression of multiple sclerosis (MS). The 7 October 2023 terrorist attacks in Israel caused significant psychological stress, providing a unique context to study its impact on MS activity.
