Background: Cognitive deficits are common in multiple sclerosis (MS) and affect patients at all stages of the disease, regardless of phenotype. Aims: This literature review focuses the cognitive deficits observed in secondary progressive MS (SPMS). It is

P2X 7-receptor binding in new-onset and secondary progressive MS – a [11C]SMW139 PET study [PDF]
Background PET imaging of activated microglia has improved our understanding of the pathology behind disability progression in MS, and pro-inflammatory microglia at ‘smoldering’ lesion rims have been implicated as drivers of disability progression.

Extracellular Vesicle-Associated miRNA in Multiple Sclerosis Subtypes: Differential Profiles in Secondary Progressive Disease and the Effect of One-Year Siponimod Treatment [PDF]
Circulating extracellular vesicle-associated microRNAs (EV-miRNAs) are emerging as promising peripheral biomarkers in multiple sclerosis (MS). This prospective, observational pilot study was conceived as a hypothesis-generating investigation to ...

New possibilities of siponimod therapy in patients with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis
The process of neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis (MS) remains an urgent problem of modern neurology; from the point of view of its therapy, it is especially important to identify this condition during the transition to secondary progression.

Delayed P100-Like Latencies in Multiple Sclerosis: A Preliminary Investigation Using Visual Evoked Spread Spectrum Analysis. [PDF]
Conduction along the optic nerve is often slowed in multiple sclerosis (MS). This is typically assessed by measuring the latency of the P100 component of the Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) using electroencephalography.

Retinal axonal loss begins early in the course of multiple sclerosis and is similar between progressive phenotypes. [PDF]
To determine whether retinal axonal loss is detectable in patients with a clinically isolated syndrome (CIS), a first clinical demyelinating attack suggestive of multiple sclerosis (MS), and examine patterns of retinal axonal loss across MS disease ...

Male Sex Is Independently Associated with Faster Disability Accumulation in Relapse-Onset MS but Not in Primary Progressive MS. [PDF]
Multiple Sclerosis is more common in women than men and females have more relapses than men. In a large international cohort we have evaluated the effect of gender on disability accumulation and disease progression to determine if male MS patients have a

Can we treat secondary progressive multiple sclerosis now?
Secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) is characterized by progressive accumulation of disability without intermittent recovery. Treatment of these patients is challenging due to limited understanding of pathogenesis and fewer therapeutic ...
