Dynamic disability measures decrease the clinico-radiological gap in people with severely affected multiple sclerosis
No full textPwMS recruited from The Boston Home (TBH), a specialized residential facility for severly-affected pwMS and University at Buffalo (UB) MS Center were assessed using EDSS, MS Severity Scale, age-related MSS, Scripps Neurological Rating Scale (SNRS) and Combinatorial Weight-Adjusted Disability Score (CombiWISE). In all scores except SNRS, higher score indicates greater disability. MRI measures of T1, T2-lesion volume (LV), whole brain, gray matter, medulla oblongata and thalamic volumes (WBV, GMV, MOV, TV) and thalamic dysconnectivity were obtained. Results
Greatest disability differences between the TBH and UB pwMS were in SNRS (24.4 vs 71.9, p \u3c 0.001, Cohen\u27s d = 4.05) and CombiWISE (82.3 vs. 38.9, p \u3c 0.001, Cohen\u27s d= 4.02). In combined analysis of all pwMS, worse SNRS scores were correlated with worse MRI pathology in 8 out of 9 outcomes. EDSS only with 3 measures (GMV, MOV and TV). In severely-affected pwMS, SNRS was associated with T1-LV, T2-LV and WBV (not surviving false discovery rate (FDR) correction for multiple comparisons) whereas EDSS did not. Conclusion
Granular and dynamic disability measures may bridge the clinico-radiologcal gap present in severely affected pwMS

Prague Reflection
No full textThis summer, I had the privilege of studying at the renowned Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts (FAMU) in Prague through the Emerson College Prague Program, thanks to financial support from the Let’s Go Fund. The program was intense, requiring rapid pre-production, filming, and editing of original short films. I worked on multiple sets, developing key skills in problem-solving and collaboration. Beyond filmmaking, I formed close bonds with fellow students while exploring Prague’s rich culture. I’m deeply grateful to the Let’s Go Fund for making this transformative experience possible
