Objective: To develop an electronic registry of patients with MS in the Russian Federation and to analyze the collected epidemiological and clinical data.
Materials And Methods: Patients aged 18 and older with definite multiple sclerosis were included in the study. We designed a specialized electronic individual registration form (registry) to gather information about study participants. This paper presents data collected in the project between September 25, 2017 and March 25, 2020.
Results: We collected information on 2728 patients. This paper presents the results of data analysis from the registry of MS patients, including demographic, clinical and epidemiological characteristics, the type and timing of treatment received. Based on the data obtained, certain issues with primary diagnosis of multiple sclerosis and delayed initiation of disease-modifying therapy can be highlighted, which contribute to the transition of the disease to a secondary progressive course and disability increase.

Department of Neurology, Xuanwu Hospital Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Platelets and neutrophils are among the most abundant cell types in peripheral blood. Beyond their traditional roles in thrombosis and haemostasis, they also play an active role in modulating immune responses. Current knowledge on the role of platelet-neutrophil interactions in the immune system has been rapidly expanding.

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the microstructural dynamics of the subventricular zone (SVZ) with aging and their associations with clinical disability and brain structural damage in pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis (MS) patients.
Methods: One-hundred and forty-one pediatric-onset MS patients (67 pediatric and 74 adults with pediatric-onset) and 233 healthy controls (HC) underwent neurological and 3.0 T MRI assessment.

Comparative activity of dimethyl fumarate derivative IDMF in three models relevant to multiple sclerosis and psoriasis.
FEBS Open Bio

Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) is an anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory medication used to treat multiple sclerosis (MS) and psoriasis. Its skin sensitization property precludes its topical use, which is unfortunate for the treatment of psoriasis. Isosorbide di-(methyl fumarate) (IDMF), a novel derivative of DMF, was synthesized to circumvent this adverse reaction and unlock the potential of topical delivery, which could be useful for treating psoriasis in the subpopulation of psoriatic MS patients, as well as in the general population.

Background: Disease comorbidities and longer-term complications, arising from biologically related associations across phenotypes, can lead to increased risk of severe health outcomes. Given that many diseases exhibit sex-specific differences in their genetics, our objective was to determine whether genotype-by-sex (GxS) interactions similarly influence cross-phenotype associations. Through comparison of sex-stratified disease-disease networks (DDNs)-where nodes represent diseases and edges represent their relationships-we investigate sex differences in patterns of polygenicity and pleiotropy between diseases.
