Objectives A pilot study to estimate the prevalence of psoriasis in MS cohorts in the Australian population. Methods A survey was conducted on 82 MS patients aged 18 and above who attended MS clinics in 2018. Results Data was recorded for 82 patients. The mean age was 48 years for the entire cohort and 48.0 years (SD ±11.30) for patients diagnosed with psoriasis. The observed prevalence of psoriasis in MS patients was 12.19% however, the true prevalence is likely to be much higher as various symptoms of psoriasis were reported by a much larger proportion of MS patients. Of the 72 cases without psoriasis, various skin symptoms that were reported were intermittent irritation (for at least 6 months) or erythematous rash (35.4%), seasonal skin changes (39.0%) and thickened scaly skin behind ears and scalps (18.3%). Moreover, 18.3% had flaky, peeling or scaly skin while 24.4% experienced dandruff; 17.1% reported nail changes, and 13.4% reported a family history of psoriasis. The study also showed that combined psoriasis and eczema was relatively common at 3.7%. Conclusions In this pilot study there is a high prevalence of psoriasis in patients with MS suggesting an immunopathological association between the two diseases and indicates that further studies should be done to elucidate common mechanisms,and the nature of this phenotype.

Collectively, the limited literature indicates a reduction in short-chain fatty-acid–producing bacteria that negatively influence colonic permeability and inflammation. We investigated GM composition in association with various clinical features and nutritional data in a large cross-sectional Australian PD cohort, to determine whether short-chain fatty-acid–producing bacteria representation in the GM was altered in association with clinical or nutritional differences between PD patients and controls. Methods Clinical outcome measures derived from PD-validated questionnaires and stool samples were collected from 103 PD patients and 81 spousal healthy controls (HCs). GM composition, determined from 16S amplicon sequencing of the V3-V4 region of stool bacterial DNA, was compared between groups and with clinical outcome measures. Results We identified significant compositional differences in the GM profiles of PD patients compared to HCs, across order, family and genus taxonomic levels. Multiple taxa were associated with a variety of clinical PD characteristics. Predictive models using GM profiles were developed to identify PD and were improved by incorporating nutritional data. Conclusions We identified notable differences in microbial diversity and GM composition in PD patients compared to HCs that, along with nutritional data, enabled the development of predictive modelling to identify PD. These findings further support the GM as a potentially useful biomarker of PD pathophysiology.","PeriodicalId":19692,"journal":{"name":"Oral abstracts","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84969819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding the nature and prevalence of these neurologic manifestations is essential for identifying higher-risk patients and projecting demand for ongoing resource utilisation. This review and meta-analysis report the neurologic manifestations identified in hospitalised COVID-19 patients and provide a preliminary estimate of disease prevalence. Methods MEDLINE, Embase and Scopus were searched for studies reporting the occurrence of neurological complications in hospitalised COVID-19 patients. Results A total of 2207 unique entries were identified and screened, among which 14 cohort studies and 53 case reports were included, reporting on a total of 8,577 patients. Central nervous system manifestations included ischemic stroke (n=226), delirium (n=79), intracranial haemorrhage (ICH, n=57), meningoencephalitis (n=13), seizures (n=3), and acute demyelinating encephalitis (n=2). Peripheral nervous system manifestations included Guillain-Barre Syndrome (n=21) and other peripheral neuropathies (n=3). The pooled period prevalence of ischemic stroke from identified studies was 1.3% [95%CI: 0.9% – 1.8%, 102/7715] in all hospitalised COVID-19 patients, and 2.8% [95%CI: 1.0% - 4.6%, 9/318] among COVID-19 patients admitted to ICU. The pooled prevalence of ICH was estimated at 0.4% [95%CI: 0%-0.8%, 6/1006]. Conclusions The COVID-19 pandemic exerts a substantial neurologic burden which may have residual effects on patients and healthcare systems for years. Low quality evidence impedes the ability to accurately predict the magnitude of this burden. Robust studies with standardised screening and case definitions are required to improve understanding of this disease and optimise treatment of individuals at higher risk for neurologic sequelae.","PeriodicalId":19692,"journal":{"name":"Oral abstracts","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75946475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods Twenty-six patients with epilepsy, onset after 50 years of age, with new cognitive complaints and 26 patients with clinically diagnosed Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) were recruited. These participants had comprehensive neuropsychological and neuroimaging assessments. A subset of 17 participants from the Epilepsy group underwent longitudinal neuropsychological assessment. Results In the Epilepsy group, the neuropsychological profile of cognitive impairment was consistent with the foci and severity of seizure activity in 46% of participants; subcortical microvascular change in 15%; mood disturbance in 15%; medication in 15%; alcohol in 4% and AD in 4%. Compared with the Epilepsy group, the AD group had a lower Addenbrookes Cognitive Examination III (ACE-III) score (79.3±10.8 versus 87.5±6.5, p=0.01); specifically in the attention, memory and visuospatial subdomains (p=0.004, p=0.002 and p=0.02) but not fluency and language subdomains (p>0.05); and lower scores on additional assessments of naming, visuospatial and executive function (p≤ 0.001).

Testing sessions were completed 6-monthly with the option of additional home based testing. Participants who completed at least three testing sessions over a minimum of 180 days were included in the analysis. Longitudinal reaction times were modelled using Latent Class Mixed Models to group individuals sharing similar latent characteristics.

Results A total of 460 relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis patients were included. For each task of the MSReactor computerised cognitive battery, the optimal model comprised of 3 latent classes. All tasks could identify a group with high probability of reaction time slowing.

Methods In our paper, we describe key findings in a large UK cohort of 52 patients, pertinent to the diagnosis and management of ATS. We report a new point prevalence of 0.105 per 100 000 (increased from 0.08 per 100 000). Results While ATS has historically been considered a triad of episodic weakness, cardiac arrhythmias and dysmorphic features, we show that there is considerable variability to this phenotype. Pure cardiac or muscle phenotypes may exist. The absence of dysmorphic features does not exclude the diagnosis. Similarly, a normal long exercise test was seen in five patients. Importantly, we identify that the phenotype includes a significant risk of cardiac morbidity and mortality with 13% of our cohort requiring cardiac defibrillator or pacemaker insertion and an additional 23% reporting syncope. Syncope has been recently associated with an increased risk of life threatening arhythmic events in this cohort. Severe fixed myopathy was seen in a quarter of our cohort with 14% requiring a wheelchair or gait aid.
