Retrospective OCT Analysis of Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Modulator Fingolimod in Multiple Sclerosis by Wilson X. Wang, MD, MPhil, Helen Rossmiller, BS, Henok Getahun, BS, Aditya Santoki, BS, Dana C. Perantie, MPH, Robert T. Naismith, MD, Rajendra S. Apte, MD, PhD

“…Purpose: Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) plays a pivotal role in cells as a bioactive lipid mediator, with emerging evidence suggesting that it may play a role in retinal ganglion cell survival, axonal growth, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) barrier function, and photoreceptor function. While previous studies have documented associated ophthalmic effects such as fingolimod-associated macular edema, the specific impact of S1P receptor modulators on inner and outer retinal layer thicknesses requires further elucidation. …”

Need to assess the effect of therapy? Ask the patient! by E. Yu. Polishchuk, A. E. Karateev, A. S. Potapova, E. S. Filatova, V. N. Khlaboshchina, V. N. Amirjanova, A. M. Lila

“…Moreover, in 20–30% of cases there is a major discrepancy in the assessment of therapy outcome between the patient and physician. Therefore, a more accurate assessment of the patient’s condition requires, in addition to the calculation of standard indices, the mandatory analysis of patient-reported outcomes – pain, functional impairment, general assessment of disease activity, fatigue, etc. …”

Mapping the cellular basis of species differences in oxytocin and dopamine receptor expression in the vole nucleus accumbens by Meredith K. Loth, Julia C. Schmidt, Cassandra A. Gonzalez, Liza E. Brusman, Julie M. Sadino, Kelly E. Winther, David S. W. Protter, Zoe R. Donaldson

“…Using multiplex in situ hybridization, we mapped Oxtr, Drd1, and Drd2 expression in sexually naïve and mate-paired prairie and meadow voles. Prairie voles have more Oxtr+ cells than meadow voles, but Oxtr distribution across dopamine-receptor cell class was similar, indicating a general upregulation rather than cell class bias. …”
