Neurohospitalist Core Competencies.

The Neurohospitalist Core Competencies comprise a set of competency-based learning objectives that encapsulate the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of neurohospitalitists who specialize in the care of hospitalized patients with neurologic conditions. These competencies serve to characterize the rapidly expanding field of neurohospitalist medicine. The 27 chapters are divided into 3 sections entitled: neurological conditions, clinical interventions and interpretation of ancillary studies, and neurohospitalist role in the healthcare system.

Neurologic Outcomes in People With Multiple Sclerosis Treated With Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors for Oncologic Indications.

Background And Objectives: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are increasingly used against various cancers but are associated with immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Risk of irAEs may be higher in patients with certain preexisting autoimmune diseases, and these patients may also experience exacerbation of the underlying autoimmune disease following ICI initiation. People with multiple sclerosis (MS) have mostly been excluded from clinical trials of ICIs, so data on the safety of ICIs in MS are limited.

Inflammatory vaginitis in women with multiple sclerosis: a retrospective analysis of B-cell depleting therapy compared to other disease modifying therapies.

This study investigates the occurrence of inflammatory vaginitis in women with Multiple Sclerosis (wwMS) undergoing B-cell depleting therapy versus other disease-modifying therapies (DMTs). Retrospective analysis of medical records from Stanford University between 2015-2023 shows similar rates of vaginitis in both groups, suggesting no significant association with B-cell therapy. Despite this, inflammatory vaginitis remains prevalent in both treatment groups, warranting further investigation into its mechanisms and management.
