Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Vyanka Redenbaugh"
- Vyanka Redenbaugh's recent research primarily focuses on the diagnostic approaches and clinical characteristics of central nervous system demyelinating diseases, particularly aquaporin-4-IgG positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (AQP4+NMOSD) and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD).
- Key findings include the diagnostic efficacy of dried blood spots for AQP4-IgG testing, variations in MRI lesion dynamics during attacks of MOGAD compared to other conditions, and the utility of cerebrospinal fluid MOG-IgG testing to enhance diagnostic accuracy.
- Additionally, her studies have delved into clinical outcomes such as the impact of early relapses on long-term disease progression in MOGAD, identified specific biomarkers that can differentiate between seropositive and double seronegative patients, and characterized peripheral nervous system manifestations within these diseases.
