TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarized studies that either support or present evidence against the hypothesized association between infection and NMOSD and provided some beneficial properties that infectious elements may have based on the hygiene hypothesis.

TL;DR: A significant association between pregnancy and NMOSD in the Chinese population is shown, and negative anti-aquaporin-4 IgG, concomitance with autoimmune diseases/antibodies, and no treatment in remission were risk factors of recurrence.

TL;DR: SUDOSCAN was able to effectively identify autonomic neuropathy in PD patients and was correlated with PD-related autonomic symptoms, and the results indicated that levodopa exposure and a higher HCY level may be risk factors for PD- related autonomic Neuropathy.

TL;DR: A higher proportion of MOG-ab patients than AQP4-AB patients had brain lesions in white matter, and among the MOG/AQP4 patients with spinal attack, 65.5% also had LETM during the disease course.

TL;DR: Elevated GGT and CRP levels within their normal ranges in NMO and MS may be associated with inflammatory response, oxidative stress and BBB disturbance in the diseases.
