Individuals in this study were selected because they had a high risk of eventually developing clinically definite MS. In fact, the U.S. FDA recently extended the labeling of Avonex® (interferon beta-1a), one of several therapies available for treating MS, to include those who experience their first clinical episode and have MRI-detected brain lesions consistent with MS. While the presence of antibodies may help predict how soon the conversion to clinically definite MS may occur, an earlier diagnosis of MS may ultimately be made in the absence of antibodies, using specific MRI parameters, and such have recently been incorporated into formal revised diagnostic criteria. In an accompanying editorial, Jack P. Antel, MD, and Amit Bar-Or, MD (McGill University, Montreal) note that - if confirmed - these findings could improve the quality of diagnostic information that can be used to guide treatment in MS, and enhance insight into the development of disease. At present, the practical implications of this study and the potential for influencing early diagnosis or treatment remain to be determined

The Wednesday Letter subscription list is maintained on a secure server, no name is ever given or sold to anyone, and it is never used except for this Newsletter. It is automatically published on the Tuesday night just before the first Wednesday of every month. You can subscribe to this free monthly electronic letter by entering your eMail address and name below. You will then automatically receive a request for confirmation, sent to whatever address you have entered. If you do NOT receive this confirmation request, then you will not be subscribed. There may have been an error with your address and you should resubmit. The letter is never sent twice to the same address -- so you do not have to worry about a duplicate subscription. When you receive this confirmation request you must reply to it, or your subscription will not become active. No one can subscribe your name, and address, without you being notified, and if you get an unwanted notice of subscription you only need to DO NOTHING and the subscription will NOT be active. REMOVAL: You can remove yourself from the subscription list in several different ways. Click here to read about this entire newsletter system. Every edition of The Wednesday Letter is delivered to your address with YOUR name and address in view on the letter, with a link that allows you to remove THAT name from the subscription list. If you try to send this removal message from an address different from the one you used to send in your original confirmation, then you will get a warning notice first, sent to the subscription address, asking you to confirm that you want to be removed from the list -- by replying to THAT request for confirmation, you will then be automatically removed. Thus, no one else can unsubscribe you, from some other computer, without your knowledge. But, if you send in the unsubscribe notice from the same machine used to receive the Letter, then the removal from the subscription list is automatic. |
