Attention-related changes in short-term cortical plasticity help to explain fatigue in multiple sclerosis
Conclusion:
Short-term and long-term plasticity mechanisms are abnormal in MS possibly owing to widespread changes in ion-channel expression. Fatigue in MS reflects disrupted cortical attentional networks related to movement control. (Source: Multiple Sclerosis)

A comparative analysis of Patient-Reported Expanded Disability Status Scale tools
Conclusion:
This analysis will (1) enable researchers and service providers to make an informed choice of PREDSS tool, depending on their individual requirements, and (2) facilitate improvement of current PREDSS tools. (Source: Multiple Sclerosis)

Efficacy of intravenous methylprednisolone pulse therapy in patients with multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica
Conclusion:
IVMP is effective in MS from the first to third courses, and in NMO at the first course. Additionally, IVMP is more efficacious in MS than NMO patients, even at the first course. (Source: Multiple Sclerosis)

Localized atrophy of the thalamus and slowed cognitive processing speed in MS patients
Conclusions:
These findings highlight the role of atrophy in the anterior nucleus of the thalamus and its relation to cognitive decline in MS. (Source: Multiple Sclerosis)

Natalizumab versus fingolimod in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis non-responding to first-line injectable therapies
Conclusion:
Natalizumab is superior to fingolimod in RRMS patients non-responding to first-line agents. (Source: Multiple Sclerosis)

Ultra-high field MTR and qR2* differentiates subpial cortical lesions from normal-appearing gray matter in multiple sclerosis
Conclusion:
qMRI at 7T can provide additional information on extent of cortical pathology, especially concerning subpial lesions. This may be relevant for monitoring disease progression and potential treatment effects. (Source: Multiple Sclerosis)

Inclusion of brain volume loss in a revised measure of 'no evidence of disease activity (NEDA-4) in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis
Conclusion:
NEDA-4 has the potential to capture the impact of therapies on both inflammation and neurodegeneration, and deserves further evaluation across different compounds and in long-term studies. (Source: Multiple Sclerosis)

Imaging central veins in brain lesions with 3-T T2*-weighted magnetic resonance imaging differentiates multiple sclerosis from microangiopathic brain lesions
Conclusion:
3-T T2*-weighted brain MRI distinguishes perivenous MS lesions from microangiopathic lesions. Clinical application of this technique could supplement existing diagnostic algorithms. (Source: Multiple Sclerosis)

High-resolution T1-relaxation time mapping displays subtle, clinically relevant, gray matter damage in long-standing multiple sclerosis
Conclusion:
Subtle GM damage was present in the cortex and thalamus of MS patients, as indicated by increased T1-RT skewness. Increased cortical skewness emerged as an independent predictor of cognitive dysfunction. (Source: Multiple Sclerosis)
