Article Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system. Common symptoms include physical disability, cognitive impairment, spasticity, fatigue, bowel/bladder dysfunction and depression. The use of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) can be used to systematically assess the burden of the disease and its impact on treatment and health-related quality of life. Assessment of PROs in routine care of people with MS provides a unique and personal insight into the multifaceted impact of the disease, while avoiding perpetuating the paternalistic medical approach that privileges objective medical measurement.This review highlights the potential benefits of integrating PROs in MS routine care from the patient and clinician perspective, describes challenges associated with PRO data collection and their use in routine settings. Challenges in the integration of PROs into routine care include (1) selection of PRO measures, (2) provider and technical workflow and (3) equity, diversity and inclusivity challenges. In addition, the review provides solutions and recommendations to facilitate the integration of PROs in MS care. The adoption of PROs in MS routine care is essential to improve MS individuals' quality of care and deliver patient-centred care, which can lead to increased treatment adherence and patient outcomes.

Randomized Controlled Trial of Impact of Mobile Health Technologies on Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Uptake in Mothers of Vaccine-Eligible Girls in Lagos, Nigeria (mHealth-HPVac).

Purpose: Expanding high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine coverage in resource-constrained settings is critical to bridging the cervical cancer gap and achieving the global action plan for elimination. Mobile health (mHealth) technology via short message services (SMS) has the potential to improve HPV vaccination uptake. The mHealth-HPVac study evaluated the effectiveness of mHealth interventions in increasing HPV vaccine uptake among mothers of unvaccinated girls aged 9-14 years in Lagos, Nigeria.

Background And Objectives: While reductions in optical coherence tomography (OCT) pRNFL and ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer thicknesses have been shown to be associated with brain atrophy in adult-onset MS (AOMS) cohorts, the relationship between OCT and brain MRI measures is less established in pediatric-onset MS (POMS). Our aim was to examine the associations of OCT measures with volumetric MRI in a cohort of patients with POMS to determine whether OCT measures reflect CNS neurodegeneration in this patient population, as is seen in AOMS cohorts.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with retrospective ascertainment of patients with POMS evaluated at a single center with expertise in POMS and neuro-ophthalmology.

Fingerprints are routinely used as evidence in forensic investigations. Fingermarks, any mark left by a donor whether a complete print or not, include sweat and oil excreted by the donor. The chemical components of fingermarks are typically analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

Purpose: This study aimed to develop an ICF core set for assessing stroke survivors in community-based rehabilitation settings in Hong Kong.
Material And Methods: A three-round Delphi process which involved 39 multidisciplinary experts in community-based rehabilitation services was conducted to reach consensus on a preliminary version of ICF core set for stroke survivors. The initial questionnaire included 130 second-level ICF categories while the panel was invited to suggest additional categories.

Background: Older patients presenting with nonspecific complaints (NSC) in the Emergency Department (ED) pose diagnostic challenges. The lack of clear symptoms leads to high misdiagnosis rates, extended hospital stays, and functional impairment. However, limited research exists on diagnostic test utilization for this population.
