An MRI assessment of mechanisms underlying lesion growth and shrinkage in multiple sclerosis
By applying the tensor model, we analysed lesion orientation and the directionality of lesion expansion/contraction in multiple sclerosis. Each lesion is summarized as an ellipsoid, and the tensor model is applied to calculate lesion anisotropy. From the top to the bottom white matter atlas, surface‐in gradient segmentation and venous atlas used in the

Amygdala Neurodegeneration: A Key Driver of Visual Dysfunction in Parkinson's Disease
ABSTRACT Objective Visual disability in Parkinson's disease (PD) is not fully explained by retinal neurodegeneration. We aimed to delineate the brain substrate of visual dysfunction in PD and its association with retinal thickness. Methods Forty‐two PD patients and 29 controls underwent 3‐Tesla MRI, retinal spectral‐domain optical coherence tomography,

Longitudinal Trajectories of Digital Cognitive Biomarkers for Multiple Sclerosis
ABSTRACT Background Cognitive impairment is one of the most common and debilitating symptoms of relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Digital cognitive biomarkers require less time and resources and are rapidly gaining popularity in clinical settings.

Early BMI Change, Cognitive Decline, and CSF AD Biomarkers Alterations in Parkinson's Disease
ABSTRACT Objective To examine the relationship of early BMI change with subsequent cognitive decline, CSF AD biomarkers alterations, and progression to dementia in patients with PD. Methods Study data were prospectively collected from the PPMI cohort. Weight/height data at enrollment and second‐year clinical visit were utilized to calculate BMI change.

Claustrum Volume Is Reduced in Multiple Sclerosis and Predicts Disability
ABSTRACT Objective The claustrum is a small, thin structure of predominantly gray matter with broad connectivity and enigmatic function. Little is known regarding the impact of claustrum pathology in multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods This study assessed whether claustrum volume was reduced in MS and whether reductions were associated with specific ...

Early Language Impairment as an Integral Part of the Cognitive Phenotype in Huntington's Disease
ABSTRACT Objective Huntington's disease (HD) speech/language disorders have typically been attributed to motor and executive impairment due to striatal dysfunction. In‐depth study of linguistic skills and the role of extrastriatal structures in HD is scarce.

Combination Therapy With Vigabatrin and Prednisolone Versus Vigabatrin Alone for Infantile Spasms
ABSTRACT Objective The study evaluated the effectiveness of combination therapy with vigabatrin and prednisolone versus vigabatrin alone for treating infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS). Methods This single‐center, single‐blind, randomized trial enrolled infants aged 2–14 months with new‐onset IESS, randomly assigned them (1:1) to receive either

Universal Proteomic Signature After Exercise‐Induced Muscle Injury in Muscular Dystrophies
ABSTRACT Objective Several neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) are characterized by progressive muscle damage and are marked by the elevation of circulating muscle proteins from activity‐related injury. Despite a diverse array of genetic drivers, many NMDs share similar patterns of exercise intolerance and higher concentrations of muscle injury proteins ...
