Update on Neuroimaging Techniques to Detect Activity and Progression in MS: The Role of Novel Markers for Chronic Active Inflammation (PRLs, SELs)

Written by ParadigMS Foundation on .

•The central vein sign could be used for differential diagnosis. •PRLs appear in the early stages and are more common in inflammatory stages. •PRLs are related to more aggressive disease •Brain atrophy assessed could help us to assess progression •Smouldering MS and progressive MS can be imaged using classic and novel techniques •SELs are related to progressive phases of the disease BIOGRAPHY CELIA OREJA-GUEVARA Prof. Celia Oreja-Guevara is Vice Chair of Neurology and Head of Multiple Sclerosis Center at the University Hospital San Carlos, Madrid and Professor...

Patient-reported Outcomes: Novel Examination Techniques to Uncover Disability Accumulation

Written by ParadigMS Foundation on .

Identification of progression needs new (digital) tools: •Which can monitor different symptoma domains •Which can assessment neurological function in a quantitative way •Which are sensitive enough to detect even subtle changes Patient-reported outcomes can assist using innovative instruments to detect progression from the patient perspective. Data should be collected and analyzed on one platform.

Immunological Players in the Pathogenesis of MS

Written by ParadigMS Foundation on .

Inflammation is the driving force in the pathogenesis of MS. Over the past decades, we can observe increased recognition that various immune cells are involved: [CD4+ Tc, CD8+ Tc, macrophages] plus Bc plus microglia. As a consequence of gained knowledge in the immunopathogenesis of MS -> DMTs are, thus, increasingly developed towards targeted treatments (at the right time of the disease course…).  BIOGRAPHY THOMAS BERGER Prof. Thomas Berger, MD, MSc, FEAN, is Professor of Neurology and Chair of the Dept. of Neurology as well as Chair of the Comprehensive Center...
