Lip augmentation has become one of the most popular esthetic procedures globally, driven by societal standards that equate full lips with youth and sensuality. While young individuals often seek volume enhancement for lip beautification, older adults pursue lip rejuvenation to counter aging effects, such as volume loss, fine lines, and reduced definition. A range of techniques has been developed to meet these esthetic goals, but achieving natural and safe results remains a challenge.

We aimed to explore the feasibility of a single, unified set of diagnostic criteria when applied to patients with suspected PPMS.
Methods: We retrospectively identified patients evaluated for suspected PPMS at 5 European centers.

- This study investigated cortical demyelination and remyelination in 140 MS patients over 5 years using magnetization transfer imaging (MTI), revealing significant changes in myelin content.
- Results showed that the degree of cortical demyelination was associated with increased cortical atrophy and clinical progression, regardless of age or MS type.
- Although remyelination occurred in many patients, it was less successful near cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) areas, indicating that effective repair processes may not fully prevent disease progression.
