Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The aim of this meeting was to generate a common view on the management of paediatric multiple sclerosis patients, to help standardize treatment and to support clinicians with less experience in this field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantification of cervical cord pathology in primary progressive MS using diffusion tensor MRI
Federica Agosta,B. Benedetti,Maria A. Rocca,Paola Valsasina,Marco Rovaris,G. Comi,Massimo Filippi +6 more
TL;DR: DT-MRI of the cervical cord can quantify the extent of diffuse cord pathology in patients with primary progressive MS, and such cord diffusivity changes in Patients with PPMS are likely to reflect irreversible axonal injury and reactive gliosis and seem to be independent of brain damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain tissue loss occurs after suppression of enhancement in patients with multiple sclerosis treated with autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation
Matilde Inglese,G. L. Mancardi,Elisabetta Pagani,Maria A. Rocca,A. Murialdo,Riccardo Saccardi,G. Comi,Massimo Filippi +7 more
TL;DR: Brain volume changes from patients with rapidly evolving secondary progressive multiple sclerosis treated with autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation indicate that, in MS, progressive loss of tissue can occur independently of concomitant MRI-visible inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of a multiple sclerosis diagnosis in patients with clinically isolated syndrome using the 2016 MAGNIMS and 2010 McDonald criteria: a retrospective study.

TL;DR: The performance of the 2010 McDonald and 2016 MAGNIMS criteria for multiple sclerosis diagnosis in a large multicentre cohort of patients with CIS is compared to provide evidence to guide revisions of multiple sclerosis diagnostic criteria.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Better understanding of these mechanisms is necessary to develop more informative clinical measures, electrophysiological methods, fluid biomarkers, and imaging techniques to detect and monitor spinal cord involvement in the diagnosis and management of patients with multiple sclerosis or NMOSDs, and as outcome measures in clinical trials.
