During the pandemic, avoiding hospitals has been advantageous. Natalizumab is usualy infused in hospital. In this study they looked at infusing at home and they concluded it was safe and cheaper to infuse at home. However, I would start to ask why bother? Subcutaneous natalizumab has been approved and whilst this will be intially administered in the hosptial environment…I can easily see...
It’s a bittersweet fact that wars spark big leaps in science, and this has unfortunately also been true for our fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. When it comes to treating MS, susceptibility to common infections and ability to mount vaccine responses have become important themes among neurologists. Furthermore, pwMS prefer drugs that do not require regular hospital or phlebotomist visits. One...
After about a decade ProfK gets the oral cladribine trial off the ground with the first person consented to the trial
Well done profK and the Team and thanks to Merck and the funders
Whilst we are on about antibody responses, this is a study from UK where people got pfizer or astrazeneca vaccine at about 10-11 week intervals and it was evident that antibody levels dropped overtime, so after “Frazer day” (OK abit amateur dramtics) on monday when we were all let loose to spread virus at will. Frazer from Dads Army Remember that the level of protection could drop a...
In our science jobs we have to justify our use and assess what impact our work has on Society. For Prof G is is easy. He is lead on a clinical trial of drug X and it works and is licensed and so it has impact on people with MS, but maybe drug X gets used in other autoimmunities and the impact gets bigger and it works in Cancer too a bit impact etc. Then there is impact on Society. Manufacturer of...
This freely accessible article published in Lancet Global Health is the most comprehensive data on the prevalence of neurological disorders across India to date. Around 18% of the worlds population live in India and like other nations they also have a significant level of morbidity related to those with neurological disorders. But, owing to a lack of resources as well as cultural taboos, it has...
No this is not a call for ProfK to become the next Prime Minister,but I am sure he would have done a better job. However, as German with a knowledge of oral Cladribine what are his Expert Thoughts? You will note there are nine german neurologists….PofK can be the tenth one Stangel M, Becker V, Elias-Hamp B, Havla J, Grothe C, Pul R, Rau D, Richter S, Schmidt S. Oral pulsed therapy of...
So to keep you in the loop, my spies have intercepted a communication by Prof Van-Tam, OK…it was sent to the Doctors. COVID-19 causes a variety of symptoms, Dr Angry says symptoms of COVID include loss of taste and you can see this symptom is on the increase all around London. Get ready for a Booster in Autumn 2021 Anyway back to the Medical Van th Man..He wrote: As you will be aware...
The CD20 onslaught continues at a pace and there is no refuting it, anti-CD20 depletion blocks the formation of vaccine response. I have seen this occur irrespective of the vaccine that was used. I am sorry to say if you are on anti-CD20 you are going to see this over and over again…it will be like-water torture, drip, drip, drip. Yep and I control the tap (faucet for our American readers:...
A few years ago I came up with the term of mushroom food to reflect SH1 from Bulls to say that what was written was probably not correct. This morning someone posted a web site which states: “COMPLETELY OVERCOMING AND GETTING RID OF MS IS POSSIBLE NOW“ They aim to sell you mushroom extract and other things….a mix of loads of differnt herbs including maca root. Is this some weird...
