    Abstract Introduction: Natalizumab break exposes multiple sclerosis (MS) patients to a high risk of disease reactivation or rebound, whose prevention and treatment constitute a clinical challenge.
    Case presentation: We describe a dramatic case of MS rebound, characterized by the development of severe neurological and psychiatric symptoms, following natalizumab break. Alemtuzumab rapidly and completely suppressed brain inflammation as demonstrated by clinical and radiological findings.
    Conclusions: Our case further adds to the available literature evidence on Alemtuzumab as first-choice rescue therapy following Natalizumab discontinuation.

    Abstract Combined central and peripheral demyelination (CCPD) is a rare chronic inflammatory disorder of the nervous system. We describe the case of a patient with a history of recurrent myelitis that acutely and simultaneously developed a brain tumour-like lesion and a sensitive-motor demyelinating polyneuropathy. The diagnosis of CCPD was supported by a detailed diagnostic workup. Up to date, no similar cases have been reported in the literature.

    Abstract Background: The cause and clinical significance of the transient decrease in platelet (PLT) count observed in relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) during alemtuzumab administration remain undefined. The aim of this study was to analyse the kinetics and clinical relevance of early onset thrombocytopaenia in alemtuzumab-treated RRMS.
    Methods: A total of 26 patients with RRMS were included in a longitudinal study. Blood samples were collected immediately before the first alemtuzumab infusion (D0), and after 3 days (D3), 28 days (D28) and 49 days (D49). PLT, red blood cell (RC), leucocyte and lymphocyte counts, haemoglobin (Hb) concentration and haematocrit (Htc) were measured. Patients with MS were clinically evaluated every day of drug infusion and then at D28 and D49 to verify the presence of signs or symptoms suggestive of thrombocytopaenia.
    Results: PLT number significantly decreased at D3 (
    Conclusions: The early PLT decrease in alemtuzumab-treated patients is transient, mild, not associated with clinically relevant events and is probably related to the cytokine-released syndrome. Notwithstanding this, our findings suggest the opportunity for PLT monitoring during infusion and in the following 2 months, since a decrease in PLT count may occur.

    Abstract One of the significant challenges facing radiologists who perform and interpret studies of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary systems have been periodic interruptions in the availability of barium and iodinated contrast media specially formulated for gastrointestinal (GI) and genitourinary (GU) studies. These interruptions are due to the US Food and Drug Administration's recent requirement for more stringent documentation of the safety and efficacy of contrast media and the consolidation among contrast manufacturers. Therefore, radiologists may be required to recommend an alternative means of evaluation, such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance, or endoscopy, or they may need to substitute a different formulation of a contrast agent not specifically developed for GI or GU use, for example the utilization of an agent designed and marketed for vascular use. This article reviews the current status of fluoroscopic contrast media, and provides suggestions and recommendations for the optimal and alternative use of contrast media formulations.

    Abstract The cell wall of the human bacterial pathogen Group A Streptococcus (GAS) consists of peptidoglycan decorated with the Lancefield group A carbohydrate (GAC). GAC is a promising target for the development of GAS vaccines. In this study, employing chemical, compositional, and NMR methods, we show that GAC is attached to peptidoglycan via glucosamine 1-phosphate. This structural feature makes the GAC-peptidoglycan linkage highly sensitive to cleavage by nitrous acid and resistant to mild acid conditions. Using this characteristic of the GAS cell wall, we identify PplD as a protein required for deacetylation of linkage N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc). X-ray structural analysis indicates that PplD performs catalysis via a modified acid/base mechanism. Genetic surveys in silico together with functional analysis indicate that PplD homologs deacetylate the polysaccharide linkage in many streptococcal species. We further demonstrate that introduction of positive charges to the cell wall by GlcNAc deacetylation protects GAS against host cationic antimicrobial proteins.

    Abstract Objective: To explore the metabolic characteristics of arthritis and enthesitis using multispectral opto-acoustic tomography (MSOT), a technology using near-infrared multispectral laser to stimulate tissues and detect the emitted acoustic energy, enabling non-invasive quantification of tissue components in vivo based on differential absorbance at multiple wavelengths.
    Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study in patients with RA or PsA and healthy controls (HCs). Participants underwent clinical, ultrasonographic and MSOT examination of MCP and wrist joints as well as the entheses of the common extensor tendon at the lateral humeral epicondyles and of the patellar, quadriceps and Achilles tendon. MSOT-measured haemoglobin (Hb), oxygen saturation, collagen and lipid levels were quantified and scaled mean differences between affected and unaffected joints and entheses were calculated as defined by clinical examination or ultrasonography using linear mixed effects models.
    Results: We obtained 1535 MSOT and 982 ultrasonography scans from 87 participants (34 PsA, 17 RA, 36 HCs). Entheseal tenderness was not associated with significant metabolic changes, whereas enthesitis-related sonographic changes were associated with increased total Hb, oxygen saturation and collagen content. In contrast, the presence of arthritis-related clinical and sonographic findings showed increased Hb levels, reduced oxygen saturation and reduced collagen content. Synovial hypertrophy was associated with increased lipid content in the joints.
    Conclusion: MSOT allows determination of distinct metabolic differences between arthritis and enthesitis in a non-invasive setting in humans in vivo.
