Validation of a Cellular Imaging‐Based Method as a Potential Biomarker for SPG4 Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) comprises a group of rare genetic diseases characterized by length‐dependent axonal degeneration of the corticospinal tracts and dorsal columns, whose main clinical feature is spastic gait. Pathogenic variants in the SPG4 gene cause Spastic Paraplegia Type 4 (SPG4‐HSP), the most common form of HSP.

The effects of parenteral or dietary omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in rat models of spinal cord injury [PDF]

, 2010
PhDThere is currently no effective treatment for spinal cord injury (SCI). Long chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) have beneficial effects in various neurological disorders.

Transplantation of olfactory ensheathing cells into spinal cord lesions restores breathing and climbing [PDF]

, 2003
One of the most devastating effects of damage to the upper spinal cord is the loss of the ability to breathe; patients suffering these injuries can be kept alive only with assisted ventilation. No known method for repairing these injuries exists.

Region Specific miRNA–mRNA Networks in Gray and White Matter Lesions of Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. This study aimed to identify micro‐RNA (miRNA)–mRNA regulatory networks underlying region‐specific molecular mechanisms in white matter and gray matter lesions in progressive MS.

“Low‐Positive” MOG‐IgG Cases Among Adults With a First Event Suggestive of Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To determine the prevalence and clinical characteristics of patients with “low‐positive” (LP) MOG‐IgG (titres 1:160–1:320) among adults with a first demyelinating event (FDE) suggestive of multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods From the Barcelona CIS inception cohort, we included adult patients with serum collected ≤ 6 months from the FDE.

Posterior Disconnection Syndrome in Early‐Stage Adult‐Onset Cerebral Adrenoleukodystrophy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Adult‐onset cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy is potentially treatable but often difficult to recognize before advanced cerebral involvement. Herein, we describe three men with early‐stage disease who initially presented with subtle visual complaints rather than subcortical dementia. Targeted neuropsychological testing revealed higher‐order visual
