Abstract Neurofilament light (NfL) protein is a marker of neuro-axonal damage and can be measured not only in cerebrospinal fluid but also serum, which allows for repeated assessments. There still limited knowledge regarding the association serum NfL (sNfL) with age subclinical morphologic brain changes their dynamics normal population. We sNfL by single molecule array (Simoa) assay 335 individuals participating population-based cohort study after mean follow-up time 5.9 years (n = 103)....

To explore whether serum neurofilament light chain protein (NfL) levels are increased in patients with MRI-confirmed recent small subcortical infarcts (RSSI) compared to healthy controls and determine the subsequent course determinants of NfL a longitudinal manner.In prospectively collected group symptomatic an RSSI (n = 79, mean age 61 ± 11 years, 67% male), we analyzed brain MRI using Single Molecule Array (Simoa) assay at baseline 3 15 months after stroke. Community-dwelling age-...

Abstract Aims To characterize the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of once‐weekly insulin icodec in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Materials Methods In an open‐label trial, 46 individuals with T2D (18‐75 years; body mass index 18.0‐38.0 kg/m ; glycated haemoglobin ≤75 mmol/mol [≤9%]; basal insulin‐treated) received subcutaneous for ≥8 weeks at individualized doses, aiming a pre‐breakfast plasma glucose concentration 4.4 to 7.0 mmol/L (80‐126 mg/dL) on last three mornings each weekly...

Background: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) immunoglobulin free light chains (FLC) have been suggested as quantitative alternative to oligoclonal bands (OCB) in the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS). However, little is known on their role predicting clinical and paraclinical disease progression, particularly early stages. Objective: To assess prognostic value FLC OCB-positive patients with clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) suggestive MS MS. Methods: We determined kappa (KFLC) lambda (LFLC) CSF...

Background: Serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) levels and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) are both emerging biomarkers of neuro-axonal damage in multiple sclerosis (MS). However, data on the relation between sNfL pRNFL scarce. Objective: We aimed to determine with thinning a large cohort relapsing–remitting (RR) MS patients. Methods: identified 80 patients from prospective, 3-year observational study changes RRMS annual blood samples available. were measured using...

Serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) is a promising biomarker of neuroaxonal damage in persons with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). In cross-sectional studies, sNfL has been associated disease activity and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) changes; however, it still unclear to what extent particular high levels impact on subsequent evolution.sNfL was quantified by an ultrasensitive single molecule array (Simoa) 199 pwMS (median age = 34.2 years, 64.3% female) 49 controls. All underwent 3-T...

The increasing armamentarium of disease-modifying therapies in multiple sclerosis is accompanied by potentially severe adverse effects. cell-adhesion molecule CD62L, which facilitates leukocyte extravasation, has been proposed as a predictive marker for treatment tolerability. However, pre-analytical procedures might impact test results, thereby limiting its clinical usability. Whether the immediate analysis CD62L expression peripheral blood mononuclear cells can aid decision making yet...

Background: Oxidative stress-induced neuronal damage in multiple sclerosis (MS) results from an imbalance between toxic free radicals and counteracting antioxidants, i.e., antioxidative capacity (AOC). The relation of AOC to outcome measures MS still remains inconclusive. We aimed compare cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) serum early controls assess its correlation with clinical/radiological measures.
