Spinal cord disease is important in most people with multiple sclerosis, but assessment remains less emphasized in patient care, basic and clinical research and therapeutic trials. The North American Imaging in Multiple Sclerosis Spinal Cord Interest Group was formed to determine and present the contemporary landscape of multiple sclerosis spinal cord evaluation, further existing and advanced spinal cord imaging techniques, and foster collaborative work. Important themes arose: (i) multiple sclerosis spinal cord lesions (differential diagnosis, association with clinical course); (ii) spinal cord radiological-pathological associations; (iii) 'critical' spinal cord lesions; (iv) multiple sclerosis topographical model; (v) spinal cord atrophy; and (vi) automated and special imaging techniques.

While prior conferences have included many opportunities for trans-disciplinary discussions and problem-solving, the IFISH Planning Committee has been exploring the option of developing a platform for collaboration and information exchange in between events, which only happen every few years. At the IFISH 6 Conference, held at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in Rome, participants were invited to attend the post-conference workshop, which was held on the final day of the conference.

- The study investigates the glymphatic system's role in disability due to multiple sclerosis (MS) using a non-invasive imaging technique called diffusion-tensor image analysis along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS).
- It involved 118 MS patients divided into two groups based on disability levels, measuring brain parenchymal fraction, lesion load, and DTI-ALPS index.
- Results showed significant differences in glymphatic function between the groups, with the DTI-ALPS index correlating with disease duration and disability, suggesting its potential as a biomarker for MS-related disability.
Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic has had a more significant negative impact on the health of food system (FS) essential workers compared to other worker categories, with notable disparities among different FS subpopulations.
- An analysis of data from over 151,000 essential worker respondents revealed that FS workers had lower vaccination rates and requirements for vaccines at work or school compared to non-food system (NFS) workers, despite similar experiences during the vaccination process.
- The study highlighted variations in vaccination intent and attitudes among unvaccinated FS workers; specifically, food manufacturing and beverage store workers were more open to vaccination, while those in agriculture and forestry showed more reluctance, emphasizing the need for targeted health initiatives.
