Analysis of changes in the chemokine CXC ligand 13 in serum and cerebrospinal fluid of patients with neuromyelitis optica by Juan Zhou, Shalin Luo, Xiaoxi Yao, Haipeng Li, Ying Wen

“…There was a positive correlation between the serum CXCL13 and the EDSS grades of both the NMO and MS groups(r = 0.884, P < 0.001); The cerebrospinal fluid CXCL13 of the NMO and MS groups showed a positive correlation with their EDSS grades(r = 0.681, P < 0.001). EDSS scores of NMO patients were positively correlated with their serum BLC-1 (r = 0.896, P < 0.001); EDSS scores of NMO patients were positively correlated with their cerebrospinal fluid BLC-1 (r = 0.678, P < 0.001).EDSS scores of MS patients were positively correlated with their serum BLC-1 (r = 0.852, P < 0.001); EDSS scores of MS patients were positively correlated with their cerebrospinal fluid BLC-1 (r = 0.613, P < 0.001). …”

Snapshot of health-related behaviours in adults living with disabilities 1 year into the COVID-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional survey study by Syeda F Hussain, Nikki Heinze, Claire L Castle, Lauren R Godier-McBard, Theofilos Kempapidis, Renata S M Gomes

“…There were statistically significant differences in the time spent self-isolating (U=2061, p=0.001), exercise frequency (U=1171.5, p=0.005) and the amount of food eaten (χ2 (2)=9.60, p=0.008, Cramer’s V=0.281). Although the majority in both groups reported exercising three to four times per week and eating what they should, those with disabilities were more likely to eat less than they should, not exercise at all and to have been self-isolating for over 6 months than participants with no disabilities.Conclusions The data in this study present some key differences between the two groups, with those living with disabilities being more likely to report that they had been self-isolating for prolonged periods of time, not exercising at all, and not eating as much as they should . …”
