Background: Serum neurofilament light (sNfL) reflects neuroaxonal damage and is now used as an outcome in treatment trials of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). However, the diagnostic properties of sNfL for monitoring disease activity in individual patients warrant further investigations.
Method: Patients with suspected relapse and/or contrast-enhancing lesions (CELs) were consecutively included and performed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain at baseline and weeks 28 and 48.
Background: Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction is an acknowledged peri-operative risk factor that should be identified before surgery. This study aimed to evaluate a simplified echocardiographic method using e' and E/e' for identification and grading of diastolic dysfunction pre-operatively.
Methods: Ninety six ambulatory surgical patients were consecutively included to this prospective observational study.
Background: Left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction is an acknowledged perioperative risk factor and should be identified before surgery. Conventional echocardiographic assessment of LV ejection fraction (LVEF) obtained by biplane LV volumes is the gold standard to detect LV systolic dysfunction. However, this modality needs extensive training and is time consuming.

Background: Cardiac disease and aberrations in central volume status are risk factors for perioperative complications, and should be identified prior to surgery. This study investigated the benefit of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) for pre-operative identification of cardiac disease and hypovolemia in ambulatory surgery.
Methods: Ninety-six patients, with a mean age of 63.
