Measuring brain volume changes over time is an objective and dependable surrogate marker for the pathological processes that damage in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). These measures are particularly valuable monitoring long-term impact of immunomodulatory treatments such as cladribine. To evaluate oral cladribine treatment on loss patients with RRMS. This real-world study processed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans using FreeSurfer's recon-all-clinical pipeline leveraging...
Accurate finger function assessment is crucial for monitoring the performance of daily hand activities. However, specialized digital applications are lacking evaluating various tasks. This study aims to develop a custom biosensing application assess dexterity. We developed compatible with smartphones and tablets that enables 3-min testing dexterity, measuring velocity accuracy each movement orientation. Data were collected dominant from large cohort healthy volunteers establish population...
Relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) affects predominantly young women within reproductive years. As an increased risk of relapses is known to occur during the post-partum period, it important consider treatment options.Evaluate effects intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIg) prevent relapses.We prospectively followed 198 pregnant female RRMS patients, 67 treated with IVIg pregnancy and three months post-partum, 131 untreated patients that served as controls.During pre-gestation year,...
Motivation: 3D visualisation of the spinal cord and vertebrae anatomy is critical for treatment planning assessment atrophy in neurodegenerative traumatic diseases. Goal(s): Develop a fully automatic segmentation whole cord, discs. Approach: The hybrid method combines nnU-Net with an iterative processing algorithm Spinal Cord Toolbox to conveniently generate ground truth labels. We used T1w T2w scans from three different databases. Results: A validation Dice score 0.928 was obtained...
During the COVID-19 pandemic, postexposure-vaccine-prophylaxis is not a practice. Following exposure, only patient isolation imposed. Moreover, no therapeutic prevention approach applied. We asked whether evidence exists for reduced mortality rate following postexposure-vaccine-prophylaxis. To estimate effectiveness of postexposure-vaccine-prophylaxis, we obtained data from Israeli Ministry Health registry. The study population consisted residents aged 12 years and older, identified first...
Abstract Background During the COVID-19 pandemic, post-exposure-prophylaxis is not a practice. Following exposure, only patient isolation imposed. Moreover, no therapeutic prevention approach applied. We asked whether evidence exists for reduced mortality rate following post-exposure-prophylaxis. Methods To estimate effectiveness of post-exposure-prophylaxis, we obtained data from Israeli Ministry Health (MoH) registry. The study population consisted residents aged 12 years and older,...
