Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how clinical attacks contribute to ongoing disability in patients with aquaporin-4 antibody-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (AQP4-NMOSD).
  • A total of 165 patients were analyzed using disability scores recorded after at least six months post-attack, with findings showing a significant increase in disability scores correlating with the number and type of relapses.
  • Results indicated that specific relapse types, particularly the combination of transverse myelitis and optic neuritis, had the most substantial impact on increasing residual disability.

Article Synopsis
  • Acute severe asthma (ASA) is a major reason children visit the hospital, with standard treatments often inadequate for some patients, highlighting the need for improved therapies like high-flow humidified oxygen (HiFlo).
  • This study aims to determine if a full randomized controlled trial (RCT) on HiFlo therapy for ASA in children can be done effectively, evaluating recruitment methods and outcome measures.
  • A feasibility RCT was conducted with children aged 2-11 not responding to standard care to assess HiFlo's impact on treatment failure rates and hospital discharge times, gathering patient and parent feedback for comprehensive evaluation.

Objective: Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) can be monophasic or relapsing, with early relapse being a feature. However, the relevance of early relapse on longer-term relapse risk is unknown. Here, we investigate whether early relapses increase longer-term relapse risk in patients with MOGAD.

Importance: Longer-term outcomes and risk factors associated with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) are not well established.

Objective: To investigate longer-term risk of relapse and factors associated with this risk among patients with MOGAD.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This large, single-nation, prospective cohort study was conducted among 276 patients with MOGAD at 5 health care centers in the UK.
