Anti‐CD20 Discontinuation Versus Continuation in People Aged Over 50 With Non‐Active Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To determine whether discontinuing anti‐CD20 therapy in people with relapsing‐onset MS aged over 50 is associated with an increased risk of relapse, inflammatory activity, confirmed disability accrual, and serious infection compared with continuing therapy.

Troponin T and Neurofilament Light Chain Levels as Complementary Biomarkers of Disease Accumulation and Aggressiveness in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a clinically heterogeneous neurodegenerative disease requiring reliable biomarkers to improve patient stratification and trial design. While serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) reflects neuroaxonal stress and disease aggressiveness, troponin T (TnT) may capture complementary aspects of ...

Impact of Age on the Diagnostic Yield of Routine EEG in People With Childhood or Juvenile Absence Epilepsy: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background We aimed to identify the proportion of individuals with a confirmed diagnosis of childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) or juvenile absence epilepsy (JAE) who show a negative routine EEG (rEEG), and to determine the main factors associated with this finding.

Reserves, Injury Severity, and Outcomes in Traumatic Brain Injury: A CENTER‐TBI Observational Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Reserve refers to the brain's ability to maintain function after an injury and strongly relates to traumatic brain injury (TBI) outcomes. This study examined (1) whether associations between pre‐injury reserve proxies and outcomes differed across injury severity categories, and (2) whether the impact of injury severity varied across ...

Modeling Progressive Brain Volume Losses in Chronic Moderate Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: Extensive, but Attenuating

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Progressive brain atrophy has now been widely observed in the chronic stages of moderate–severe traumatic brain injury (msTBI), but there is only coarse information regarding its prevalence and magnitude, and whether rate of atrophy accelerates or attenuates across time. We examined these questions in a Canadian inception cohort from

The Comprehensive Live Cell‐Based Cytotoxicity Assay for Monitoring Disease Activity and Guiding Rescue Therapy in Acute Attacks of NMOSD

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a devastating neurological disease that lacks serological biomarkers that can accurately reflect disease activity. We established a live cell‐based assay (LCBA) using serum with endogenous complement to quantify the overall cytotoxicity, offering a novel functional tool for monitoring

Nationwide Survey of Association Between Fever and Epileptic Seizure in CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder Revealed Therapeutic Implications

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective CDKL5 deficiency disorder (CDD) is a rare, severe developmental and epileptic encephalopathy. There is a pressing need to develop effective and sustainable therapeutic strategies. We aimed to investigate the causal association between febrile episodes and epileptic seizures for therapeutic implications in CDD patients.

Changes in Immune‐Inflammation Status and Prognosis in Pregnancy‐Related Cerebral Venous Thrombosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Distinguishing pathological changes from physiological adaptations in pregnancy‐related cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is clinically challenging. This study aimed to characterize coagulation, immune‐inflammation, and dehydration status in these patients and assess their prognostic value.

Multidimensionality and Item Bias in Item Response Theory [PDF]

Applied Psychological Measurement, 1992
This paper demonstrates empirically how item bias indexes based on item response theory (IRT) identify bias that results from multidimensionality. When a test is multidimensional (MD) with a primary trait and a nuisance trait that affects a small portion of the test, item bias is defined as a mean difference on the nuisance trait between two groups ...

Item Bias Detection Using Loglinear Irt [PDF]

Psychometrika, 1989
A method is proposed for the detection of item bias with respect to observed or unobserved subgroups. The method uses quasi-loglinear models for the incomplete subgroup × test score × Item 1 × ... × item k contingency table. If subgroup membership is unknown the models are Haberman's incomplete-latent-class models.The (conditional) Rasch model is ...
