Multiple sclerosis (MS), a debilitating autoimmune disorder targeting the central nervous system (CNS), is marked by relentless demyelination and inflammation. Clinically, it presents in three distinct forms: relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), primary progressive MS (PPMS), and secondary progressive MS (SPMS).

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-bound structures that carry proteins, lipids, RNA, and DNA, playing key roles in cell communication and material transport. Recent research highlights their potential as disease biomarkers due to their stability in bodily fluids. This study explores using tau and TDP-43 proteins in plasma EVs as diagnostic biomarkers for frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

The effectiveness of the interventions in the Therapeutic communities (TC) depends not only on the quality of the specialized knowledge and methodologies adopted, but also on the meanings consumers give to them. Building the therapeutic alliance is a key element in reducing high drop-out rates and predicting more favorable outcomes. This research investigated the discourses practiced by 45 people with substance use disorders who had been accessing a therapeutic community for less than 15 days, with the aim of delving into the meanings given to treatment and pathway goals in the service, to analyze what theories are used to explain consumption and therapeutic change.
