OBJECTIVE: To analyze the treatment response in patients with primary angiitis of the central nervous system (PACNS). METHODS: In a single-center retrospective observational study, we assessed relapses, remission, and long-term outcome by use of the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) under different immunotherapies. Eligible patients had CNS biopsy in favor of PACNS or neuroimaging compatible with… Read more »

Impairment and restrictions in possibly benign multiple sclerosis.
OBJECTIVE: The aim was to describe a broad range of health dimensions in possibly benign multiple sclerosis (MS) hypothesizing that despite some limitations there is a high adaptation to the disease. METHODS: All patients from an outpatient university clinic data registry with an Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) ≤3.5 and disease duration ≥15 years were… Read more »
Development of Cortical Lesion Volumes on Double Inversion Recovery MRI in Patients With Relapse-Onset Multiple Sclerosis.
Background and Objective: In multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, Double Inversion Recovery (DIR) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to detect cortical lesions (CL). While the quantity and distribution of CLs seems to be associated with patients‘ disease course, literature lacks frequent assessments of CL volumes (CL-V) in this context. We investigated the reliability of… Read more »
Emotions towards magnetic resonance imaging in people with multiple sclerosis.
OBJECTIVES: People with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) often have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations. While MRI can help guide MS management, it may be a source of anxiety for pwMS. We aimed to develop and validate a questionnaire on the „EMotions and Attitudes towards MRI“ (MRI-EMA). MATERIAL & METHODS: The questionnaire was developed, tested in 2… Read more »
