The objective of this pilot study was to compare cerebral gray matter (GM) atrophy over 1 year in patients starting dimethyl fumarate (DMF) for multiple sclerosis (MS) to that of patients on no disease-modifying treatment (noDMT). DMF is an established therapy for relapsing–remitting (RR) MS. We retrospectively analyzed 20 patients with RRMS at the start of DMF [age (mean ± SD) 46.1 ± 10.2 years,...... hiện toàn bộ

Multiple sclerosis (MS) management presently aims to reach a state of no (or minimal) evidence of disease activity. The development and commercialization of new drugs has led to a renewed interest in family planning, since patients with MS may face a future with reduced (or no) disease-related neurological disability. The advice of neurologists is often sought by patients who want to have children...... hiện toàn bộ
Efficacy of Dimethyl Fumarate in Young Adults with Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis: Analysis of the DEFINE, CONFIRM, and ENDORSE StudiesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2023

Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) showed favorable benefit-risk in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) in phase 3 DEFINE and CONFIRM trials and in the ENDORSE extension study. Disease activity can differ in younger patients with MS compared with the overall population. Randomized patients received DMF 240 mg twice daily or placebo (PBO; years 0–2 DEFINE/CONFIRM), then DMF (years 3–10; ...... hiện toàn bộ
The Early Diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease: A Patient-Centred Conversation with the Care TeamSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 12 - Trang 11-23 - 2022

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder which accounts for 60–80% of dementia cases, affecting approximately 10 million people in Europe. Neuroimaging techniques and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers used in combination with cognitive assessment tools open the door to early diagnosis of AD. However, these tools present some challenges that need to be overcome, such as low sensitivity...... hiện toàn bộ
Migraine and Ischemic Stroke: A Mendelian Randomization StudySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 11 - Trang 237-246 - 2021
Mei-Jun Shu, Jia-Rui Li, Yi-Cheng Zhu, Hang Shen
Previous epidemiological studies have found an increased risk for ischemic stroke in patients with migraine; however, the evidence for a causal relationship between migraine and ischemic stroke is scarce. This study aims to explore the potential causal relationship between migraine and ischemic stroke and its subtypes [including large artery stroke (LAS), small vessel stroke (SVS), and cardioembo...... hiện toàn bộ

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the leading cause of cognitive impairment and dementia in older individuals (aged ≥ 65 years) throughout the world. As a result of these progressive deficits in cognitive, emotional, and physical function, AD dementia can cause functional disability and loss of independence. To gain a deeper understanding of the recent literature on the burden of AD, including that of m...... hiện toàn bộ
