Brain Changes May Explain Stroke Risk In Migraine Sufferers
Some people who get migraines do have a slightly higher risk of stroke. And some of the brain changes identified in the study look like mini strokes. "On the MRI migraines look like very tiny strokes," Lipton tells Shots. But the people aren't having any stroke symptoms. Still, Lipton is convinced that the process is the same. "We now know it's a risk factor for these very small silent strokes,"

Sunbathing more effective than vitamin D in preventing multiple sclerosis
A
little ray of sunshine can help combat fatigue and depression and
decrease the risk of multiple sclerosis, according to new findings.
GETTING a regular dose of sunshine is much more effective than vitamin D
at combating fatigue and depression. STUDY: Participants also reported
on the length of time they spent sunbathing. It emerged that those who
spent longer in the sun suffered less from fatigue and depression. MS study targets damage affecting nerves

A comparison of sagittal short T1 inversion recovery and T2-weighted FSE sequences for detection of multiple sclerosis spinal cord lesions.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common disabling CNS disease of young adults. Short T1 inversion recovery sequence imaging not only significantly improves detection of MS lesions within the spinal cord, but also provides better contrast and conspicuity of visible lesions, creating a more confident diagnostic measure of MS extent and progression. Short T1 inversion recovery sequences of the spinal cord should be routinely obtained during initial and routine follow-up of MS.

he Obama administration said Thursday that it would not challenge laws legalizing marijuana in Colorado and Washington State as long as those states maintain strict rules involving the sale and distribution of the drug.
In a memo to US Attorneys in all 50 States, Deputy Attorney General James M. Cole said the Justice Department is “committed to using its limited investigative and prosecutorial resources to address the most significant threats in the most effective, consistent and rational way.” He stressed that marijuana remains illegal under federal law.

Medication withdrawal may be an option for a select group of patients in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
This article describes the clinical and radiological evolution of a stable group of patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis that had their disease-modifying therapy (DMT) withdrawn. Withdrawal, however, should not be viewed as simply the suspension of treatment because these patients should be evaluated periodically, and the immunomodulators should be readily reintroduced if new attacks occur. Nonetheless, medication withdrawal is an option for a select group of patients.

Updates on clinically isolated syndrome and diagnostic criteria for multiple sclerosis.

Clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) is a central nervous system demyelinating event isolated in time that is compatible with the possible future development of multiple sclerosis (MS). Early risk stratification for conversion to MS helps with treatment decisions. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is currently the most useful tool to evaluate risk.

In fact, despite being the third oral DMT to reach the MS market, patient share for Tecfidera exceeds that for the first two oral DMTs for MS—Sanofi/Genzyme’s Aubagio (1 percent) and Novartis’s Gilenya (1 percent)—at the same stage of their respective launches.

Neurostimulators for the Treatment of Primary Headaches
Response rates reported in neurostimulation studies do not seem superior to those of the most effective prophylactic medications. Selection criteria for neurostimulation in headache patients are not uniform, and with few exceptions follow-up is too short to provide firm conclusions on long-term efficacy and safety, as well as costs. Notwithstanding these limitations, occipital nerve stimulation does seem to produce satisfactory improvement in chronic drug-resistant cluster headache and when it does not produce benefit, hypothalamic stimulation can be considered. Occipital nerve stimulation has been extensively investigated as a treatment of chronic migraine, but there is still some skepticism about its efficacy.[88]

Pilates for people with multiple sclerosis who use a wheelchair: feasibility, efficacy and participant experiences.
Pilates appears to be efficacious in improving sitting stability and posture and decreasing pain and was also well tolerated by wheelchair users with MS. Further mixed methods studies are warranted. Implications for Rehabilitation Group-based core stability exercise or Pilates for people with MS who use wheelchair is a feasible and safe way of exercising for this patient group. Pilates exercises for people moderately to severely affected by MS resulted in a decrease in back and shoulder pain and improvement in sitting balance. Future appropriately powered randomised controlled studies into Pilates for people with MS reliant on wheelchair are warranted.
