Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder in which the immunopathogenesis is not fully understood. In the recent years, the role of gut microbiome in the pathogenesis of this disorder has been highlighted. Bifidobacteria as a component of gut microbiome might also be involved in MS pathogenesis. Being emerged in early days after birth, bifidobacteria have a prominent role in immune system maturation and function. Some factors like mode of delivery, breast feeding, mother's blood group and her secretory state and also environmental factors could influence its level in the early infancy, which may remain throughout lifetime. In this review, we discussed possible immunopathogenic link between the bifidobacteria and MS.

Background: Cognitive deterioration is common in multiple sclerosis (MS) and requires regular follow-up. Currently, cognitive status is measured in clinical practice using paper-and-pencil tests, which are both time-consuming and costly. Remote monitoring of cognitive status could offer a solution because previous studies on telemedicine tools have proved its feasibility and acceptance among people with MS.

Cellular Senescence in Glial Cells: Implications for Multiple Sclerosis.

J Neurochem

Department of Biological Sciences, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana, USA.

Aging is the most common risk factor for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) disease progression. Cellular senescence, the irreversible state of cell cycle arrest, is the main driver of aging and has been found to accumulate prematurely in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Cellular senescence in the central nervous system of MS patients has recently gained attention, with several studies providing evidence that demyelination induces cellular senescence, with common hallmarks of p16INK4A and p21 expression, oxidative stress, and senescence-associated secreted factors.

A 16-year-old boy was diagnosed from multiple sclerosis (MS) after suffering from paresthesia in upper limbs and VI cranial nerve paresis. Corticosteroids and fingolimod were started. After 13 months a worsening of liver biochemical tests (LBT) was noticed: ALP 787 U/L, GGT 737 U/L, AST 195, ALT 321, Bi 0.

Preliminary validation of CCRacer serious game for assessing executive function after acquired brain injury.

Int J Rehabil Res

January 2025

Department for the Rehabilitation of Patients After TBI, Multiple Sclerosis and Other Neurological Diseases, University Rehabilitation Institute, Linhartova cesta Ljubljana.

Acquired brain injuries can profoundly impact executive functioning, yet traditional neuropsychological assessments often have limitations, such as being time-intensive, lacking ecological validity, or failing to engage patients effectively. To address these challenges, CCRacer, a serious game, was developed as a novel tool for assessing executive functions in clinical populations. This study evaluated the convergent and discriminant validity of CCRacer by applying it alongside established neuropsychological tests to a sample of 78 participants with acquired brain injury.

Analysis of Drug-Related Tinnitus Based on the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System Database.

Br J Hosp Med (Lond)

December 2024

Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Jinhua Hospital of Zhejiang University, Jinhua, Zhejiang, China.

Tinnitus is a very common condition, and is a side effect of many medications. The panorama of drug-induced tinnitus has widened in recent decades, and post-marketing data are needed to gain a better insight into adverse drug reactions related to tinnitus. However, there are currently few studies on drug-induced tinnitus.
