      INTERFERON-BETA TREATMENT AND DISABILITY PROGRESSION IN RELAPSING-REMITTING MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
We found no strong evidence that interferon-beta treatment was associated with a significant reduction of disability progression in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis in an observational study from British Columbia, Canada. Our findings suggest realistic expectations regarding the impact of interferon-beta treatment on multiple sclerosis disability progression in the “real-world” setting..

      THE SYSTEM XC- TRANSPORTER AND CANCER-INDUCED BONE PAIN
Cancer cells exist in conditions of elevated oxidative stress. To protect themselves, cancer cells increase the activity of a transport system called system xc- to import necessary cystine in exchange for glutamate. This glutamate is a cell-signalling molecule that has significant implications for bone cell metabolism and pain sensation..

      EVOLVING NEONATAL STEROID PRESCRIPTION HABITS AND PATIENT OUTCOMES.
Steroids have been used increasingly in critical situations (hypotension and respiratory insufficiency). Few authors have reported their local practices. In our cohort, most patients survived without significant disability. On the other hand, some patient died. In these patients, steroids might have been responsible for a delay in death..
