Mediterranean and MIND diets track with cognitive benefits in MS
Adherence to either the Mediterranean or the Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diets was associated with better performance in certain areas of thinking and memory among people with multiple sclerosis (MS), a U.K. study suggests. The Mediterranean diet reflects foods traditionally eaten in countries around the Mediterranean Sea. It emphasizes fruits, vegetables, legumes, fish,…
The cost of ADA
Tweet Jamieson T, Tomini F, Gnanapavan S, Mihaylova B. Long-term effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of testing for alemtuzumab antidrug antibodies to guide treatment in multiple sclerosis: a modelling study. Eur J Health Econ. 2025 Nov 12. doi: 10.1007/s10198-025-01854-8 Biologic therapies are increasingly used in multiple sclerosis (MS), but often provoke anti-drug antibodies, potentially leading to treatment…
Water exercise beats standard PT for MS fatigue, balance issues
Aquatic therapy significantly eased fatigue and improved balance in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients in a clinical trial in Greece, outperforming results from a control group who participated in a conventional physiotherapy program. “Our work suggests that incorporating [aquatic therapy] into MS care can meaningfully alleviate fatigue and balance deficits, thereby improving patients’ functional capabilities and…

NEDA Fudge and Alemtuzumab
Tweet No evidence of disease control is typically no relapse no MRI lesions and no progression. Whilst as mentioned I think progtrssion is a composite surrogate of different biologies the question is how good are drugs at inducing NEDA. Here we hear about alemtuzumab and they tell us that the proportion of patients achieving NEDA-3…
Know One Know them All?
Tweet Are all the anti-CD20 depleting antibodies the same? This study aims to show if rituximab is inferior to ocrelizumab, MSBase said it was. I would ask why? What biology is different?….They are clearly not all the the same in how they do things but they all aim to kill circulating B cells. This study…
