From Phenotypes to Spectrum: Rethinking RRMS, SPMS and PPMS in the Era of PIRA—A Framework Integrating PIRA, Smouldering-Associated Worsening, and Neurologic Reserve to Facilitate Earlier Recognition of Progression

Neurology International
The conventional classification of multiple sclerosis (MS) into relapsing–remitting, secondary progressive, and primary progressive phenotypes has long guided diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic decision-making. However, accumulating evidence indicates

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.

Generalized Dystonia With Cervical Predominance in a Patient With a De Novo TCF20 Variant

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT TCF20 has been implicated in developmental delay and intellectual disability, with dystonia reported less frequently. We describe a woman in her early twenties with childhood‐onset learning difficulties, progressive dysarthria, tremor, and generalized dystonia with marked cervical predominance, associated with a de novo TCF20 frameshift ...

Systemic inflammation in progressive multiple sclerosis involves follicular T-helper, Th17- and activated B-cells and correlates with progression.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Pathology studies of progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) indicate a major role of inflammation including Th17-cells and meningeal inflammation with ectopic lymphoid follicles, B-cells and plasma cells, the latter indicating a possible role of the newly ...

Engagement Patterns With an Artificial Intelligence Health Coach for Systemic Sclerosis Self‐Management: A Mixed Methods Study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective To evaluate utility of an artificial intelligence (AI) health coach for systemic sclerosis (SSc) self‐management and identify patterns associated with participant engagement. Methods We conducted a mixed methods study in which an AI health coach, powered by a large language model (LLM), was used to support self‐management for SSc.

Clinical and laboratory characteristics of secondary progressive MS.

, 2003
Secondary progressive (SP) MS follows on from but is distinct in its clinical picture from relapsing remitting (RR) MS. Diagnosis is usually straightforward except during the transitional stage when the two phenotypes merge.

Real‐World Effectiveness and Safety of Secukinumab in Giant Cell Arteritis: An Italian Multicenter Cohort Study

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the real‐world effectiveness and safety of secukinumab in patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA). Methods This multicenter retrospective study included patients with GCA who received secukinumab at 14 Italian centers with at least six months of follow‐up.

Urinary Exosomal microRNAs as a Novel Approach to Study People with Multiple Sclerosis and Severe Gait Disability: A Preliminary Observation

Non-Coding RNA
Background: MiRNAs within extracellular vesicles can encompass body barriers, reflecting stage, progression, and response to treatments of various diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS)—a chronic immune-mediated disease of the central nervous system

Serum heat shock protein 70 levels as a biomarker for inflammatory processes in multiple sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis Journal - Experimental, Translational and Clinical, 2018
Background Inflammatory and neurodegenerative processes are hallmarks of multiple sclerosis (MS). The synthesis of the major stress-inducible heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) is induced by inflammation.

Patients improve, patterns persist: longitudinal stability of RA joint involvement patterns

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective Rheumatoid arthritis is a heterogeneous disease. Data‐driven approaches, from synovial histology to joint involvement patterns (JIPs), have sought to define clinically meaningful subgroups. Whether these subgroups represent stable phenotypes or transient disease states remains unclear.
