Objective: To demonstrate the experience of a personalized approach to the treatment of pediatric patients with multiple sclerosis using the example of the Moscow patient population.
Materials And Methods: The authors describe the clinical follow-up of 79 pediatric patients with demyelinating diseases of the nervous system during 2019, including 39 patients with multiple sclerosis, including one patient with a primary progressive course of the disease (clinical case).
Results: The experience of the Moscow office for the treatment of multiple sclerosis in children and adolescents demonstrates the effectiveness of the personalized approach to the treatment of pediatric cases confirmed by the case report of biological therapy by recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody directed against CD20-expressing B-cells for early treatment of the adolescent patient with primary progressive multiple sclerosis.
Conclusion: The identification of patient's groups with different levels of disease activity and different risks of disability progression is highly relevant in the pediatric population of patients with multiple sclerosis, especially in the context of expanding therapeutic opportunities.

The complex set of interactions between the immune system and metabolism, known as immunometabolism, has emerged as a critical regulator of disease outcomes in the central nervous system. Numerous studies have linked metabolic disturbances to impaired immune responses in brain aging, neurodegenerative disorders, and brain injury. In this review, we will discuss how disruptions in brain immunometabolism balance contribute to the pathophysiology of brain dysfunction.

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression, but we have limited insight into their role in age-related cerebral pathologies. Here, we investigated the association between miRNAs and nine age-related cerebral pathologies in participants of the ROS/MAP cohorts.
Method: MiRNA sequencing was performed on samples from the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex of 617 brain donors from participants of the ROS/MAP cohorts.

Background: Examining the neuropathology of the oldest-old has significantly advanced our understanding of the multiple etiologies in very late life. Most studies have included exclusively White decedents with limited ethnoracial diversity. Our goal was to characterize neuropathology in a cohort of ethnically and racially diverse oldest-old decedents.

Background: Limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy neuropathologic change (LATE-NC) denotes TDP-43 deposition in older age and is consequential for cognitive function. Currently there is no way to identify LATE-NC during life. Some forms of TDP-43 deposition in younger age, related to frontotemporal dementia (FTD), are associated with pronounced asymmetrical atrophy of the temporal lobe.
