Introduction: Vasectomy is a widely used, safe, effective method of permanent contraception and contributes to healthy sexuality.
Aims: We have conducted a 3-step observational clinical study to develop a vasectomy regret risk score and guide patients and clinicians when discussing a vasectomy.
Methods: A 3-step approach has been followed.

Objective: Previous studies reveal heterogeneity in terms of paramagnetic rim lesions (PRL) associated tissue damage. We investigated the physiopathology and clinical implications of this heterogeneity.
Methods: In 103 MS patients (72 relapsing and 31 progressive), brain lesions were manually segmented on 3T 3D-FLAIR and rim visibility was assessed with a visual confidence level score (VCLS) on 3D-EPI phase.
Background: Growing evidence links brain-MRI enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS) and multiple sclerosis (MS), but their role remains unclear.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the cross-sectional associations of EPVS with several neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative features in a large multicentric-MS cohort.
Methods: In total, 207 patients underwent 3T axial-T2-weighted brain-MRI for EPVS assessment (EPVS dichotomized into high/low according to ⩾ 2/< 2 rating categories).
