Article Synopsis
- The study focused on cerebral pseudotumoral lesions (CPTL) greater than 2 cm, primarily in patients referred for evaluation of multiple sclerosis (MS).
- Most of the 75 patients studied had MS (58.7%), with relapsing disease and specific lesion characteristics being significantly more common in this group compared to non-MS patients.
- Key indicators such as headache, the nature of disease progression, and certain MRI traits could help differentiate between MS and non-MS conditions, suggesting a need for further research with larger sample sizes.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to measure vascular age (VA) in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) in Belgrade, Serbia, and compare it to their chronological age (CA).
- It involved 274 participants who provided demographic data and underwent testing to assess their cardiovascular health, including blood samples to analyze lipid profiles.
- Results indicated significant differences between VA and CA across various groups, particularly noting that PwMS with multiple cardiovascular risks had the highest VA and the greatest age discrepancy.
Background: The aim of our study was to estimate the frequency of autoimmune comorbidities, in NMOSD patients from the national Serbian NMOSD Registry.
Methods: Our study comprises 136 patients with NMOSD, diagnosed according to the NMOSD criteria 2015. At the time of the study, in the Registry were collected demographic and clinical data, including those related to the coexisting comorbidities and pathogenic autoantibodies.
Purpose: Therapeutic plasma exchange (PLEX) is effective as a second-line treatment of severe relapses of multiple sclerosis (MS) that failed to respond to standard steroid therapy. Our objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of PLEX in the severe MS relapses in a cohort of patients treated at Neurology Clinic, University Clinical Centre of Serbia, Belgrade, from 2007 until 2020.
Methods: This retrospective study comprised 107 MS patients with 127 severe relapses treated with PLEX.
Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of familial MS (fMS) in Belgrade MS population, discern the differences between the persons with fMS and sporadic MS, and to detect the presence of anticipation phenomenon in fMS patients.
Methods: The data on the demographic and clinical characteristics of MS patients was obtained from the Belgrade MS population Registry. In cases of vertical transmission of MS, the family members were divided into the younger and older generation, in order to assess the potential presence of anticipation phenomenon.
