As we age, our bodies undergo biological changes. Our immune system changes. Our brain changes with age. Our cognitive abilities change, as do our physical abilities. These changes impact everyone. But these biological processes may impact people with MS differently. And MS may impact these biological processes differently. Just a couple of weeks ago, the International Advisory Committee on Clinical Trials in MS brought together 100 top experts for a 3-day workshop dedicated to exploring how these many and varied changes can impact MS care. In Part 2 of our coverage, we're taking you back inside this workshop, where you'll hear from some of the top MS researchers and clinicians who participated in this important meeting.

As people age, their immune systems change. Their level of physical and cognitive reserve changes. They often develop additional health issues. They frequently experience changes in their mobility. And these are people who aren't living with MS. When you combine the health issues related to aging with the health issues that are related to MS, you end up with a sum that is exponentially larger than its parts. And when you consider that there are more people living with MS who are over the age of 65 than there are people living with MS under the age of 45, it's not surprising that the subject of aging with MS has become an area of increasing interest among researchers, clinicians, and people affected by MS. That's why, last week, the International Advisory Committee for Clinical Trials in Multiple Sclerosis invited a select group of 100 MS researchers and clinical specialists from around the world to participate in a three-day deep dive exploring aging and MS. In Part 1 of our coverage, we're taking you inside this meeting, where you'll hear from some of the expert presenters who were in attendance. We have a lot to talk about!

In a landscape where funding is increasingly difficult to obtain, the importance of conducting research that has the greatest impact has never been more important. In the case of women with MS, a large-scale scoping review,* conducted on behalf of the International Advisory Committee on Clinical Trials in MS, sheds light on the research gaps related to female health. ln this episode, host Brett Drummond of MSTranslate talks with two of its authors -- Lindsay Ross, an assistant professor at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine, and Ruth Ann Marrie, professor of medicine and community health sciences at the University of Manitoba in Canada. *Ross, L., Finlayson, M., Amato, M.

Host: Ashley Baker, MSN, PMHNP Guest: Amber Salter, PhD In 2016, an International Advisory Committee on Clinical Trials in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) recommended that comorbidities be more clearly and consistently described in enrolled clinical trial populations for common comorbidities so we can better understand the applicability of these trial findings to those in clinical practice. And so a recent study investigated the prevalence of comorbidities in MS clinical trial populations and found that 46 percent of the participants had one or more comorbid condition. Dive further into the findings from the study that was presented at the 2023 joint ECTRIMS-ACTRIMS meeting with Ashley Baker and Dr. Amber Salter, Associate Professor of Biostatistics at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.

Discussions are ongoing to change the way MS patients are diagnosed and treated. In this episode,  Xavier Montalban, Chair of the International Advisory Committee on Clinical Trials in Multiple Sclerosis, which is leading the discussions, explains the evolution of the McDonald criteria and why these proposed revisions are important for clinicians and patients alike.

This week, I'm revisiting the proposal from the International Advisory Committee on Clinical Trials in MS that recommended adopting a new framework that leverages what scientists are continuing to learn about MS and redefines how we talk about MS, how we research MS, how we diagnose MS, and how we treat MS. This proposed framework holds the promise of taking MS care to the next level. This new framework was first proposed in a paper published in November 2022, and last January, I spoke with the lead author of that paper, Professor Tanja Kuhlmann. We discussed why an international panel of distinguished MS experts was recommending changing something that has been in place for decades. The following week, I reached out to the National MS Society's Chief Advocacy, Services, and Science Officer, Dr. Tim Coetzee, and we talked about how this new framework for describing MS would impact people living with MS.

We've been using the same MS clinical course descriptors (relapsing-remitting, secondary progressive, and primary progressive) for almost three decades. As research has provided so much additional information and insight, is it time to update the way we describe, diagnose, and treat MS? The International Advisory Committee on Clinical Trials in Multiple Sclerosis has established a working group to explore this question. And, as a means of eliciting feedback from stakeholders around the world, a global survey was launched. The National MS Society's Chief Advocacy, Services, and Science Officer, Dr. Tim Coetzee, joins me to share the results of this survey, which may represent a first step toward delivering next-generation MS care. We're just two days away from the Hispanic/Latinx MS Experience Summit! We'll tell you why you don't want to miss this free online event, and we'll even tell you how to register. We're sharing the results of a study that provides strong evidence for adopting hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) as a standard treatment option for people living with relapsing-remitting MS. And we're sharing evidence from a Phase 3 clinical trial that demonstrates how cognitive behavioral therapy delivered over the internet significantly reduces depressive symptoms and improves the quality of life for people with MS.

Every episode of RealTalk MS features updates and reports about emerging science. And, as you listen, some of you may wonder, 'When will these scientific achievements benefit me? When will these breakthroughs and advancements make their way from the laboratory workbench to the clinic?'   That's exactly what the panel of MS experts who comprise the International Advisory Committee on Clinical Trials in MS are proposing in a new framework that leverages what scientists are continuing to learn and re-defines how we talk about MS, research MS, diagnose MS, and treat MS.  The new framework being recommended by the committee is broadly outlined in a paper that was published about 8 weeks ago. Joining me to discuss what this proposed framework is all about is the paper's lead author, Professor Tanja Kuhlmann. We're also talking about the new high-efficacy disease-modifying therapy that received its FDA approval last week. We're sharing the details behind the FDA's approval of a Phase 3 clinical trial for Masitinib, an investigational therapy for treating progressive MS. We'll tell you about Abata Therapeutics' first T-cell treatment candidate for treating progressive MS. And you'll hear about the results of a study that compared the outcome of treating people living with secondary progressive MS with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) versus treatment by disease-modifying therapies.

Hitler, Stalin, and Mao ruled through violence, fear, and ideology. But in recent decades a new breed of media-savvy strongmen has been redesigning authoritarian rule for a more sophisticated, globally connected world. In place of overt, mass repression, rulers such as Vladimir Putin, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and Viktor Orbán control their citizens by distorting information and simulating democratic procedures. Like spin doctors in democracies, they spin the news to engineer support. Uncovering this new brand of authoritarianism, Sergei Guriev and Daniel Treisman explain the rise of such “spin dictators,” describing how they emerge and operate, the new threats they pose, and how democracies should respond. Spin Dictators traces how leaders such as Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew and Peru's Alberto Fujimori pioneered less violent, more covert, and more effective methods of monopolizing power. They cultivated an image of competence, concealed censorship, and used democratic institutions to undermine democracy, all while increasing international engagement for financial and reputational benefits. The book reveals why most of today's authoritarians are spin dictators—and how they differ from the remaining “fear dictators” such as Kim Jong-un and Bashar al-Assad. Spin Dictators: The Changing Face of Tyranny in the 21st Century (Princeton UP, 2022) is aimed at a general audience, synthesizing a vast amount of qualitative and quantitative research by the authors and many other scholars. The book is highly readable, with a great mix of anecdotes and examples along with plain-English explanations of academic research findings. However, it also provides an excellent overview of contemporary global authoritarianism for academics. Almost every claim in the book has an endnote reference to the original research for those who want to follow up. The endnotes mean that despite its moderately intimidating 340-page heft, the main text is a very approachable 219 pages. Daniel Treisman is a professor of political science at the University of California, Los Angeles and a research associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research. His research focuses on Russian politics and economics as well as comparative political economy, including in particular the analysis of democratization, the politics of authoritarian states, political decentralization, and corruption. In 2021-22, he was a visiting fellow at Stanford University's Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences and he was recently named a 2022 Andrew Carnegie Fellow. A graduate of Oxford University (B.A. Hons.) and Harvard University (Ph.D. 1995), he has published five books and numerous articles in leading political science and economics journals including The American Political Science Review and The American Economic Review, as well as in public affairs journals such as Foreign Affairs and Foreign Policy.

FDATA and Yodlee are optimistic on Open Finance: “the right data, in the right hands, at the right time, can change the world!” Interview with: Jamie Leach, FDATA and Tonia Berglund, Envestnet YodleeKey Points discussed include:CDR is more than Open Banking – it's open finance and open data – but what are the immediate opportunities, and what's coming in the longer term? Listen to this podcast to learn more.According to FDATA and Yodlee, there are three winners from Open Banking: consumers, fintechs and banks.Banks forced to share data; but banks can embrace banking – they can use data too - also banks can develop new services.Banks have legacy systems but getting ready for Open Banking means better quality data within the bank; this increases efficiencies for the bank.Open Finance delivers some very basic outcomes – more transparency, more insights into pricing; is crucial for transferring someone from another bank (switching campaigns will boom) Analytics and Apps are both crucial for fintechs as they drive innovationMany Business cases still not proven – will take time to understand what works and what doesn't.Plus, some way to go in terms of all banks sharing data: “we are two miles into the Marathon,” says Jamie Leach of FDATA. Jamie covers topic of cost and barriers to entry for fintechs - why is Australia 4 or 5 times the cost of UK to participate in the Open Data regime? (Note: UK doing 800 million API calls a month, and rate of growth is 100%+) Is the worry about security and consumer protection in Australia leading to higher costs?What are the issues for fintechs who want to switch from ‘screen scrapping' to Open Banking Data?Discussion of consent; how consumers give consent to FSIs to use their data; How important is Privacy by Design and what does it mean?Discussion on Data Collaboration and Data Standards; this is a new area for tech and for the law; where are we at in Australia?Discussion on how FSIs/fintech use the data they collect – especially using Ai to understand both individuals and trends; how does Ai blend with Open Banking? Jamie Leach is the Regional Director in Australia and NZ for The Financial Data and Technology Association, a role that see's Jamie work with government, regulatory authorities, and financial industry stakeholders to open up Australia's and New Zealand's financial sector so all companies can benefit from the Consumer Data Right, also known as Open Banking.Jamie is also the Founder of Open Data Australia, Board Chair of tech start-up GridQube, sits on the International Advisory Committee for the University of Melbourne Centre for Spatial Data Infrastructures and Land Administration, and is an expert on e-KYC and Digital Identity for the UN and the World Bank.Tonia Berglund is Director of Product at Envestnet Yodlee. Tonia is responsible for heading up Open Banking in Australia and New Zealand, bringing together the global open banking strategy for US based aggregator and Wealth Tech Company Fintech, Envestnet I Yodlee.  Tonia has spent the last 18 years driving digital change as a senior leader in the Technology and Finance sectors, working in large and small organisations including CBA, Westpac and the Federal Government. She holds Post Graduate Degrees in Business and Technology and has been at the forefront of heading up transformation programs moving systems and processes online across business, wealth and retail divisions.
