Demyelinating disease of the central nervous system associated with antibodies to myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOGAD) has been proposed to be distinguished from neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) into a separate nosological form. The basis for the recognition of nosological independence was the presence of clinical features of this disease and the detection of a specific biomarker in the blood serum of patients - IgG class antibodies to MOG. The article summarizes the current data on the clinical and radiological phenotypes of MOGAD in children and adults and the features of the course of the disease.

The problem of pharmacotherapy of elderly and senile people is currently extremely relevant due to the aging of the population and the increase in the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases. One of the most serious problems of the elderly is the development of cognitive decline due to cerebrovascular pathology. However, elderly patients often have a large number of comorbid diseases, which leads to difficulties in diagnosing and managing these patients, and often to the development of polypharmacy, which can lead to deterioration in functional status, cognitive impairment, adverse reactions and drug interactions.

The review presents current data on the use of positron emission tomography and single-photon emission computed tomography in multiple sclerosis (MS) to assess the activity of the pathological process, including neuroinflammation, demyelination, activation of microglia, neurodegeneration and local blood flow disorders. These methodologies are a new approach for studying the mechanisms of action and evaluating the clinical effect of disease modifying therapy of MS, especially those capable of penetrating into brain tissue. Among them, the most attention is attracted by cladribine tablets acting on the mechanism of immune reconstitution therapy, most likely with the modulation of immune reactions directly in the brain tissue.

Vascular cognitive impairment is considered the second most common cause of dementia after Alzheimer's disease. One of the most significant factors leading to vascular dementia is stroke, which increases the risk of developing dementia by about 2 times. Delayed-onset post-stroke dementia is mainly due to severe small vessel disease, recurrent stroke, or concomitant Alzheimer's disease.
