Summary: Multimodal agility-based exercise training (MAT) is a valuable framework for improving cardiovascular, neuromuscular, and cognitive function. However, current exercise recommendations for persons with Multiple Sclerosis (pwMS) are difficult to implement and lack effective and engaging training methods. Therefore, it is recommended to investigate multimodal exercise interventions, such as MAT, and compare them to unimodal approaches.

Summary: Multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory and degenerative disease of the central nervous system triggered by unknown environmental factors in patients with genetic risk profiles. Prevention of neurological disability is essential, but mechanisms driving disease progression remain unknown. Lack of markers for early detection and varying definitions of disability progression complicate assessment in clinical practice.

Summary: This paper proposes a transfer learning chatter detection framework that does not rely on any experimental data. The framework consists of a dynamic milling process model, DAOCNN, and an ensemble prediction strategy. The proposed method accurately and efficiently predicts milling stability, making it a promising tool for online chatter detection.

Summary: MiR-142-3p is a potential negative prognostic CSF marker of MS, showing positive correlations with clinical progression, IL-1 beta signalling, and synaptic excitability. Treatment with DMF, a disease-modifying therapy, had a superior effect on patients with low levels of miR-142-3p.

Summary: This paper presents a new and efficient trajectory planning paradigm for robotics and manufacturing systems. The proposed approach offers a flexible solution to a classical problem by using a common data structure based on time-parameterized curves. It also introduces computer-aided design concepts to constrain and optimize the trajectories. A benchmark is proposed to demonstrate the advantages of the new approach, and an experimental case study is provided for illustration.

Summary: By molecular dynamics simulation, the ultralight monolayer covalent organic framework (COF), a novel 2D crystalline polymer, was found to possess superior impact resistant capability under high-velocity impact. The hexagonal nanopores integrated by polymer chains show large deformation compatibility and effectively restrain crack propagation, enabling COF to resist multiple impacts.

Summary: The use of kinetic models is crucial for the manufacturing of high value chemicals. This research introduces a nonlinear dynamic optimization framework for discovering governing reaction networks and learning model parameters from data. The proposed framework can produce accurate reduced-order microkinetic models that are computationally efficient. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the key properties of the approach.

Summary: In this paper, an end-to-end framework is presented, which utilizes auto-encoders and probabilistic models to understand system processes' behavior and detect deviant behaviors. By creating a fine-grained model that exploits previously unused properties of system calls, a dynamic anomaly detection framework is created that evolves as threats change.

Summary: The negative impact of smoking in multiple sclerosis is well documented, but there is limited evidence on the benefits of smoking cessation for disease progression. This study found that current smokers had higher disability scores compared to those who had never smoked, and there was no improvement in scores with increasing time since quitting. However, when smokers quit, the rate of motor disability deterioration slowed down to match that of non-smokers. This suggests that smoking cessation is beneficial for people with multiple sclerosis.

Summary: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS) and results in significant neurodegeneration. A genome-wide association study identified a significant association between the rs10191329 polymorphism in the DYSF-ZNF638 locus and MS severity. This polymorphism was also associated with earlier need for a walking aid and increased brain pathology. Another polymorphism in the DNM3-PIGC locus showed suggestive association with MS, and there was significant heritability enrichment in CNS tissues. Mendelian randomization analyses suggested a potential protective effect of higher educational attainment in MS.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the potential of serum biomarker levels in predicting disability progression in patients with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS). The study found that levels of neurofilament light chain (sNfL), glial fibrillar acidic protein (sGFAP), and chitinase 3-like 1 (sCHI3L1) were associated with changes in the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) over different time periods.

Summary: This study investigated the susceptibility of normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) in newly diagnosed multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and found that quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) in the NAWM can predict the increment of the expanded disability status scale (EDSS) over time. This finding may help identify patients at an increased risk of early disability progression.

Summary: The study aimed to identify biomarkers associated with treatment response in patients with multiple sclerosis treated with oral therapies. The results showed that serum levels of CXCL13 and TNF-alpha were significantly decreased in patients with no evidence of disease activity (NEDA) after 1 year of treatment. Therefore, CXCL13 can serve as a biomarker for treatment response and identify optimal responders to the treatment.

Summary: This study found an association between the CYP24A1 rs2762943 polymorphism and increased risk of multiple sclerosis (MS). Carriers of this risk allele had lower levels of active vitamin D and higher levels of inflammatory factors. However, this genetic variant had no significant impact on disease activity and disability outcomes of MS patients, only with a younger age at disease onset.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of peripheral upper limb cooling on tremor severity and functional performance in multiple sclerosis patients with intention tremor. The results showed that cooling the forearm significantly reduced tremor severity and improved functional performance, and cooling the whole upper limb had a noticeable effect on tremor severity during the first half-hour after cooling.

Summary: This study found that natalizumab can diffuse in different anatomical compartments, including cerebrospinal fluid and milk. By developing a flow-cytometry-based assay and applying it to quantify natalizumab in body fluids, including cerebrospinal fluid, breastmilk, and serum, a better understanding of the safety of therapeutic antibody administration during pregnancy and lactation can be achieved.
