Cognitive Impairment in Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders: A Review of Clinical and Neuroradiological Features [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) are mostly relapsing autoimmune inflammatory disorders of the central nervous system (CNS) with optic neuritis, myelitis, and brainstem syndromes as clinical hallmarks.

Functional characterization of reappearing B cells after anti-CD20 treatment of CNS autoimmune disease. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The anti-CD20 antibody ocrelizumab, approved for treatment of multiple sclerosis, leads to rapid elimination of B cells from the blood. The extent of B cell depletion and kinetics of their recovery in different immune compartments is largely unknown ...

Plasma complement biomarkers distinguish multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) are autoimmune demyelinating diseases distinguished clinically by selective involvement in NMOSD of optic nerves and spinal cord. Early clinical manifestations are

The Gut Microbiome in Neuromyelitis Optica. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a rare, disabling, sometimes fatal central nervous system inflammatory demyelinating disease that is associated with antibodies ("NMO IgG") that target the water channel protein aquaporin-4 (AQP4) expressed on astrocytes ...

Double-negative neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder

open access: yesMultiple Sclerosis Journal, 2023
Most patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) test positive for aquaporin-4 antibody (AQP4-IgG) or myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibodies (MOG-IgG). Those who are negative are termed double-negative (DN) NMOSD and may constitute a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.
