Data‐Driven SuStaIn Model of Disability Progression in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To determine whether ordinal Subtype and Stage Inference (SuStaIn) applied to routine ALSFRS‐R item scores can identify reproducible disability progression patterns in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and provide clinically meaningful staging.

Combining tractography and cortical measures to test system-specific hypotheses in multiple sclerosis. [PDF]

, 2010
The objective was to test three motor system-specific hypotheses in multiple sclerosis patients: (i) corticospinal tract and primary motor cortex imaging measures differ between multiple sclerosis patients and controls; (ii) in patients, these measures ...

Metabolic and Fluid Biomarkers Support Microglia Activation in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is an incurable neurodegenerative disease involving motor neuron degeneration and metabolic and immune dysfunction. We combined clinical data, cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers and fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography with magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the role of reactive microglia in disease ...

Utility of the APE2 Score as a Diagnostic Tool for Autoimmune Encephalitis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To retrospectively evaluate the diagnostic performance of the Antibody Prevalence in Epilepsy and Encephalopathy (APE2) score relative to clinician‐adjudicated autoimmune encephalitis (AE) and the Graus criteria in a tertiary neuroimmunology referral cohort, including antibody‐negative AE.

Association Between Neurofilament Light Chain and Real‐World Ambulatory Function in Progressive MS

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Neurofilament light chain (NfL) is a biomarker of neuroaxonal injury in multiple sclerosis (MS), yet associations with functional outcomes remain unclear. Longitudinal associations between serum NfL (sNfL) and daily step count (STEPS) from wearable devices were assessed in a large international progressive MS cohort.

Autoimmune Comorbidities as Modifiers of Phenotypic Heterogeneity in Facioscapulohumeral Dystrophy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy type 1 (FSHD1) shows clinical heterogeneity that is only partly explained by D4Z4 repeat unit (RU) size. Although immune and inflammatory mechanisms may contribute to disease variability, the prevalence and clinical impact of autoimmune diseases in FSHD remain unclear.

Infusion anti-B-cell therapy in multiple sclerosis: a comparative analysis of agents within the same class

Неврология, нейропсихиатрия, психосоматика
Given the recent trends and accumulating evidence supporting the advantages of anti-B-cell therapy, early initiation of this treatment modality in multiple sclerosis (MS) has become increasingly relevant for controlling disease activity and reducing the ...

Early Clinical and Cerebrospinal Fluid Predictors of 1‐Year Recurrence in Autoimmune GFAP Astrocytopathy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Autoimmune glial fibrillary acidic protein astrocytopathy (GFAP‐A) is an inflammatory central nervous system disorder with variable outcomes. Relapse occurs in a subset of patients, but early predictors remain unclear. We aimed to identify admission‐available features associated with 1‐year recurrence and develop an interpretable ...
