Article Synopsis
- A recent study examined a condition called "pure spinal" MS, which features demyelination mainly in the spinal cord, potentially responding well to disease-modifying treatments (DMT).
- Researchers analyzed data from around 8000 patients and identified 7 women with this condition, averaging 40 years old and having positive markers in their cerebrospinal fluid indicative of demyelination.
- Treatment with DMT resulted in reduced relapse rates and stabilization of symptoms in these patients, suggesting that pure spinal MS may merit further study and could lead to updates in diagnostic criteria for MS.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to compare the outcomes and complications of elective ureteroscopy performed within one week versus more than one week after renal colic caused by ureteral stones larger than 6 mm, involving 338 patients.
- - Results showed that patients in the early group (within one week) had a higher rate of stone residue (5.4% vs. 1.1%) and required repeat procedures more often (4.8% vs. 0.6%), indicating better outcomes for the late group.
- - Postoperative complications were significantly lower in the late group (16.2% vs. 32.1%), suggesting that delaying ureteroscopy beyond one week could lead to better overall recovery and fewer
