Risk knowledge of people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis – Results of an international survey

Veröffentlicht: von & gespeichert unter Allgemein.

BACKGROUND: Adequate disease and treatment-related risk knowledge of people with Multiple Sclerosis (pwMS) is a prerequisite for informed choices in medical encounters. Previous work showed that MS risk knowledge is low among pwMS and role preferences are different in Italy and Germany. OBJECTIVE: We investigated the level of risk knowledge and role preferences in 8… Read more »

In search of distinct MS-related fatigue subtypes: results from a multi-cohort analysis in 1.403 MS patients.

Fatigue is among the most disabling symptoms in patients with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). The common distinction between cognitive and motor fatigue is typically incorporated in self-rating instruments, such as the Chalder Fatigue Questionnaire (CFQ), the Fatigue Scale for Motor and Cognitive Functions (FSMC) or the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS). The present study investigated the… Read more »

Bassoon proteinopathy drives neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by inflammatory insults that drive neuroaxonal injury. However, knowledge about neuron-intrinsic responses to inflammation is limited. By leveraging neuron-specific messenger RNA profiling, we found that neuroinflammation leads to induction and toxic accumulation of the synaptic protein bassoon (Bsn) in the neuronal somata of mice and patients with MS. Neuronal overexpression… Read more »
