Prognostic Factors Associated with Disability in a Cohort of Neuromyelitis Opti...

Introduction: Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) and MOG-associated disease (MOGAD) are an increasingly recognized group of demyelinating disorders of the central nervous system. Previous studies suggest that prognosis is predicted by older age at onset, number of relapses, the severity of the first attack and autoantibody status. Objective: To study prognostic factors associated with disability pr...

Superior Cerebellar Artery Dissection in a Patient Diagnosed with Reversible Ce...

Arterial dissection is an uncommon complication of reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS). We describe the case of a 35-year-old woman with a migraine history who presented with recurrent thunderclap headache and focal neurological signs, including right hemiataxia. She had been diagnosed with COVID-19 disease two weeks earlier. Neuroimaging revealed multifocal stenosis of the posterior circulatio...

A pioneering longterm experiment on mesophotic macrofouling communities in the ...

The mesophotic zone represents one of our planet's largest and least explored biomes. An increasing number of studies evidence the importance of macrofouling species in marine ecosystems, but information on these communities and the factors influencing their structures at mesophotic depths remain poor. This lack of understanding limits our ability to predict anthropogenic impacts or conduct restoration operatio...

Multiple Sclerosis Patient Management During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Practical R...

The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has imposed significant challenges on healthcare provision, requiring changes in the conventional patient management, particularly in chronic diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS). To increase patient safety and reduce the risk of infection, while ensuring an appropriate and regular follow-up, tele-medicine gained prominence as a valid alternative to face-to-face appointments...

Admission and Readmission/Death Patterns in Hospitalized and Non-hospitalized F...

Background: Hospitalization and readmission rates after a first-ever-in-a-lifetime stroke (FELS) are considered measures of quality of care and, importantly, may give valuable information to better allocate health-related resources. We aimed to investigate the hospitalization pattern and the unplanned readmissions or death of hospitalized (HospS) and non-hospitalized stroke (NHospS) patients 1 year after a FELS...

Natural history of relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis in a long-lasting coh...

Background: Several disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) have emerged in the last two decades for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). The increasing use of these therapies has enhanced the need to study its impact on long-term disease progression and on the natural history of MS. This study aimed to characterize a Portuguese MS patient cohort in what concerns the natural history of disease by exploring diff...
