ABSTRACT The expanding therapeutic arsenal in multiple sclerosis (MS) has allowed for more effective and personalized treatment, but the choice management of disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) is becoming increasingly complex. In this context, experts from Brazilian Committee on Treatment Research Multiple Sclerosis Neuroimmunology Scientific Department Academy Neurology have convened to establish Consensus MS, based their understanding that neurologists should be able prescribe MS DMTs...
We report on nine patients (eight cases of MS and one case NMOSD) who presented a disease relapse in close temporal association with their first AZD1222 vaccination dose against COVID-19. These had been stable for median period six years, no evidence activity change medication. After 13 days (7 to 25 days) from vaccination, they developed new increased disability lesions magnetic resonance imaging. Although this may be rare, it might an adverse event AZD1222.
<h3>Background and Objectives</h3> To describe the clinical features disease outcomes of coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). <h3>Methods</h3> The Neuroimmunology Brazilian Study Group has set up report severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV2) cases NMOSD (pwNMOSD) using a designed web-based case form. All neuroimmunology outpatient centers individual neurologists were invited to register their across country. Data collected...
Little information is available regarding the incidence and clinical outcome of SARS-CoV2 infection in patients with multiple sclerosis (pwMS).To determine incidence, outcome, impact COVID-19 on pwMS.This observational study was prospectively performed a cohort pwMS (N = 11,560) followed up by 47 out 51 Brazilian MS referral centers that registered at REDONE platform from 13 March to 4 June 2020.The for 27.7/10,000 general population 29.2/10,000 inhabitants. A total 94 (77 women) patients,...
Prevalence rates of multiple sclerosis (MS) suggest an interrelationship between genetic and environmental factors, ranging worldwide.Objectives Clinical epidemiological characterization MS patients in João Pessoa, Paraíba city.Methods Study involving treated five services the city.Results It included 87 with MS, representing a prevalence 12.0 cases/100,000 population, mainly women (77%) white people (66.7%) mean age 43 years average first outbreak 32.2 years.

Abstract Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a demyelinating immune‐mediated disease characterized by bilateral and confluent lesions in white matter (WM), with an acute onset. This condition may arise due to myriad of etiological factors, encompassing mainly vaccines viral infections. case report describes 39‐y‐old patient who presented sudden onset fever, confusion, reduced level consciousness, associated paraparesis the lower limbs urinary retention, 2 d before admission...
O estudo possui como objetivo identificar as intervenções que alteram o desfecho da fase aguda do AVC. A presente pesquisa trata-se de uma revisão integrativa literatura. Para tal estudo, foi construída a seguinte pergunta norteadora: “Quais AVC.?”. Na elaboração norteadora e na busca evidências científicas utilizou-se estratégia PICO, significado: P paciente ou população; I intervenção indicador; C comparação controle outcome significa clínico, resposta resultado sendo se espera encontrar...
A Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite Measure (MSFC) é escala para avaliação dos pacientes portadores de esclerose múltipla, desenvolvida pela National Society EUA em 1994, que envolve uma composição três testes - 9-Hole Peg Test, Timed 25-Foot Walk e PASAT abrangendo maneira multidimensional as principais funções neurológicas comprometidas nestes pacientes. MSFC foi aplicada 91 indivíduos sadios com o objetivo padronizá-la na população brasileira posterior uso nos diversos centros...
The Scientific Department of Neuroimmunology the Brazilian Academy Neurology (DCNI/ABN) and Committee for Treatment Research in Multiple Sclerosis Neuroimmunological Diseases (BCTRIMS) provide recommendations this document vaccination population with demyelinating diseases central nervous system (CNS) against infections general severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes COVID-19. We emphasize seriousness current situation view spread COVID-19 our country....

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic and demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. Among symptoms that patients with MS may develop, depression stands out, which associated an important decline in quality life. The presence this symptom worse prognosis. There much support literature positive role non-pharmacological measures play controlling MS, range options for patient to choose from. Objectives: To analyze studies deal therapeutic strategies against MS. Methods:...
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease that manifests through neuronal inflammation and demyelination. Patients exhibit symptoms can reduce their physical mental well-being, including worsened sleep quality. Objectives: To verify if there relationship between the level of Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) quality in patients with MS. Methods: This an observational, field documentary study crosssectional, descriptive, quantitative approach. Sociodemographic...
Introduction: Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists have emerged as one of the most effective treatment options for patients with autoimmune diseases, including psoriatic arthritis. However, these agents carry a risk severe adverse effects, demyelinating disorders. The aim to report case multiple sclerosis associated use adalimumab. This is study. information this work was obtained through review medical record. Case report: A 40-year-old female arthritis on adalimumab (ADM) treatment. She...
