Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to see if structural network parameters provide additional insights into the effectiveness of MS treatment after immunoablation and autologous stem cell transplantation, focusing on patients whose relapses were suppressed.
- - Researchers analyzed data from 24 MS patients before and after treatment, assessing brain health markers like N-acetylaspartate to creatine ratio (NAA/Cr) and serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) in relation to network parameters.
- - Results showed that changes in network parameters post-treatment were significantly linked to improved measures of neuronal injury, suggesting these parameters could serve as valuable indicators of disease severity in progressive MS.
The health of Canadians is already impacted by climate change due to wildfire smoke, heat domes, floods, droughts, and the changing distribution of vector borne disease. The healthcare sector contributes to climate change, accounting for approximately 4.6% of annual greenhouse gas emissions in Canada.
