Exacerbations1
- Multiple sclerosis is characterized by varied CNS deficits, with remissions and recurring exacerbations. (msdmanuals.com)
Neurology1
- Over the past several years we have seen a dramatic shift in the MS treatment landscape towards the use of B-cell therapy, which has shown to be highly effective in reducing relapses in patients," said Lawrence Steinman, MD , global study leader for the ULTIMATE 1 and 2 trials and professor of neurology and neurological sciences at Stanford Medicine in Palo Alto, California, in a press release .

Centre1
- Subjects of either gender attending the People's College of Dental Sciences and Research Centre, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India with active episodes of RAS as well as healthy controls were included in the study groups. (bvsalud.org)
Acute2
- [ 37 , 46 , 48 ] ADEM bears a striking clinical and pathological resemblance to other acute demyelinating syndromes (ADS) of childhood, including multiple sclerosis (MS). ADEM in children is readily distinguishable from alternative diagnoses on the basis of clinical features and findings on neuroimaging and laboratory investigations. (medscape.com)
- Multiple sclerosis (MS) and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) bear a close pathological resemblance, each resembling the pathology of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE). (medscape.com)
Inflammatory3
- There is growing evidence for the concept of multiple sclerosis (MS) as an inflammatory neurodegenerative disease, with a different pattern of atrophy evolution in grey matter (GM) and white matter (WM) tissue compartments. (bmj.com)
- This treatment has been used to treat highly active inflammatory MS for over two decades. (msaustralia.org.au)
- We can see that some of the changes in multiple sclerosis patients are also linked to the occurrence of inflammatory reactions in the body," says Sellebjerg. (neurosciencenews.com)

Diagnostic Criteria1
- This may be explained by several factors: change in the diagnostic criteria, more explicit inclusion criteria, exclusion of high-risk patients e.g. patients with co-morbidities, and more rigorous definitions of relapses and disease worsening. (ku.dk)
Rate2
- For the first time, an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody was able to produce an annualized relapse rate (ARR) of less than 0.10 in patients with relapsing MS, which translates to less than one relapse in 10 years, said Dr. Steinman. (everydayhealth.com)
- The results, published on August 25, 2022, in The New England Journal of Medicine , showed that treatment with Briumvi showed a statistically significant reduction in annualized relapse rate (ARR) over a 96-week period compared with Aubagio. (everydayhealth.com)

- This is the result of a major study of intestinal bacteria in multiple sclerosis patients and healthy control subjects, which was recently published in the journal Genome Medicine . (neurosciencenews.com)
- We also see that undergoing treatment for multiple sclerosis seems to be linked to a change in the composition of bacteria compared with patients who are not undergoing treatment," says Professor Finn Sellebjerg, clinical professor at Rigshospitalet and University of Copenhagen, who is one of the researchers behind the study. (neurosciencenews.com)
- The study includes 148 Danish multiple sclerosis patients and just as many healthy control subjects, who gave blood and fecal samples at the start of the study and again two years later. (neurosciencenews.com)
