    Abstract Introduction: To evaluate an updated algorithm in the detection of urinary tract infection (UTI) prior to high-dose corticosteroid treatment in acute relapses in multiple sclerosis (MS). This updated algorithm aimed to decrease the unnecessary use of antibiotics, whilst maintaining accuracy and safety.
    Methods: Prospective cohort study of 471 consecutive patients with MS relapses in a hospital-based outpatient acute relapse clinic. 172 patients met exclusion criteria, leaving 299 patients for analysis. Patients underwent urine dipstick and were treated for UTI if 2 or more of: nitrites, leukocyte esterase and cloudy urine were positive. Patients with confirmed acute MS relapse were treated with high dose intravenous or oral methylprednisolone.
    Results: Significant bacteriuria (>10
    Conclusion: With an improved specificity, this updated algorithm addresses previous issues concerning the unnecessary prescription of antibiotics, whilst improving accuracy and maintaining safety.

    Abstract Background: 1
    Purpose: To assess the effect on neurometabolites from three candidate drugs after 96-weeks as seen by
    Study-type: Longitudinal.
    Population: 108 participants with SPMS randomized to receive neuroprotective drugs amiloride [mean age 55.4 (SD 7.4), 61% female], fluoxetine [55.6 (6.6), 71%], riluzole [54.6 (6.3), 68%], or placebo [54.8 (7.9), 67%].
    Field strength/sequence: 3-Tesla. Chemical-shift-imaging 2D-point-resolved-spectroscopy (PRESS), 3DT1.
    Assessment: Brain metabolites in normal appearing white matter (NAWM) and gray matter (GM), brain volume, lesion load, nine-hole peg test (9HPT), and paced auditory serial addition test were measured at baseline and at 96-weeks.
    Statistical tests: Paired t-test was used to analyze metabolite changes in the placebo arm over 96-weeks. Metabolite differences between treatment arms and placebo; and associations between baseline metabolites and upper limb function/information processing speed at 96-weeks assessed using multiple linear regression models. P-value<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
    Results: In the placebo arm, tCho increased in GM (mean difference = -0.32 IU) but decreased in NAWM (mean difference = 0.13 IU). Compared to placebo, in the fluoxetine arm, mIns/tCr was lower (β = -0.21); in the riluzole arm, GM Glx (β = -0.25) and Glx/tCr (β = -0.29) were reduced. Baseline tNAA(β = 0.22) and tNAA/tCr (β = 0.23) in NAWM were associated with 9HPT scores at 96-weeks.
    Data conclusion: 1
    Level of evidence: 1 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 4.
