Wolfram syndrome (WS), a rare genetic neurodegenerative condition, is primarily characterized by diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy, diabetes insipidus, and sensorineural hearing loss, along with diverse systemic manifestations. Late-stage cases exhibit widespread brain atrophy. While bleeding tendencies are not commonly observed in Type 2 WS (WS2), there is a distinctive bleeding tendency that is exclusive to WS2, with no documented occurrences in Type 1 WS (WS1).

- The study aims to compare cognitive functions and anxiety levels in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) to healthy controls (HCs) while also exploring the links between these factors and overall quality of life (QOL).
- In a sample of 21 RRMS patients and 21 matched HCs, assessments revealed that RRMS patients had significant cognitive deficits, higher trait anxiety, moderate state anxiety, and mild depression compared to HCs.
- The findings underscore the importance of addressing both cognitive and psychological issues in RRMS patients to improve their overall quality of life.
Background Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare, adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder marked by autonomic failure, parkinsonism, and cerebellar ataxia, with subtypes classified as parkinsonian (MSA-P), cerebellar (MSA-C), and autonomic (MSA-A). This study aims to identify MRI biomarkers for MSA and their correlation with disease severity. Methodology A total of 30 patients with probable MSA (20 MSA-C, 10 MSA-P) aged 45-65 years were studied.
