There are genetic risks associated with MS, there are demographic risks of experiencing a more severe disease course, and there are also behavioral and lifestyle risks that will increase the chance that someone will be diagnosed with MS. Joining me today to discuss behavioral and lifestyle MS risk factors and how they can be mitigated are Doctor Jared Bruce and Dr. Amanda Bruce.
Dr. Jared Bruce is a neuropsychologist and the director of psychiatric research at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine. Dr. Amanda Bruce is a clinical psychologist and an assistant professor in the Department of Behavioral Pediatrics at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
We're also reviewing the details of the Inflation Reduction Act, which means, beginning in 2025, significantly lower out-of-pocket costs for prescription medications for the quarter-million people with MS who are on Medicare.
We'll tell you about study results for a novel drug that was effective in remyelination and restoring lost function to mice with the mouse model of MS.
We'll share the details of a study that shows how specific comorbidities affect specific MS outcomes.
We'll review results of a study that shows men with MS who start a high-efficacy disease-modifying therapy experience fewer relapses.
And we'll tell you how an artificial intelligence chatbot soundly beat human experts in predicting the results of neuroscience studies.
We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
