Pain in neuromyelitis optic spectrum disorder.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 145 patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) admitted to a hospital between July 2016 and June 2019, revealing that the incidence of pain in NMOSD is high and can be used for disease localization.

Rating neurologic impairment in multiple sclerosis An expanded disability status scale (EDSS)

John F. Kurtzke
- 01 Nov 1983 - 
TL;DR: A new Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) is presented, with each of the former steps (1,2,3 … 9) now divided into two (1.0, 1.5, 2.0 … 9).

The clinical course of neuromyelitis optica (Devic's syndrome)

TL;DR: Clinical, laboratory, and imaging features generally distinguish neuromyelitis optica from MS, and patients with relapsing optic neuritis and myelitis may have neuromyeliitis opticas rather than MS.

Contrasting disease patterns in seropositive and seronegative neuromyelitis optica: A multicentre study of 175 patients

TL;DR: This study provides an overview of the clinical and paraclinical features of NMOSD in Caucasians and demonstrates a number of distinct disease characteristics in seropositive and seronegative patients.

Prognostic factors and disease course in aquaporin-4 antibody-positive patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder from the United Kingdom and Japan

TL;DR: Age at disease onset and genetic factors are both likely to be important in determining clinical outcomes in aquaporin-4 disease, since clinical features and outcomes appear not to be generic across populations and may need to be tailored to individual groups.

Short delay to initiate plasma exchange is the strongest predictor of outcome in severe attacks of NMO spectrum disorders

TL;DR: An improved clinical benefit of early initiation of PLEX during severe attacks of NMO-SD is confirmed, suggesting that perceiving PleX as a rescue therapy only after steroid failure could be deleterious.
