Lately, I have been loosely following the Women's World Cup. The fact that the soccer (or football, for non-US readers) games take place in France and the decent performance of the French team certainly contribute to ignite my interest. But what is the relationship with MS? I was contacted by a person with MS from the United States, who wanted to attend some of the games in person and needed an accessible seat, as well as mobility equipment to navigate the stadiums. This prompted me to investigate what accommodations were offered to persons with disabilities. I was pleased to discover that “Special Access” tickets were sold, with three categories of seats depending on one's level of walking limitations. It is heartwarming to learn that our patients, even when severely affected by MS, may be able to enjoy special events like this if they wish to do so. Unfortunately, the person who contacted me was having difficulty getting a response to his e-mail inquiries from the organizers. In event organization as in health care, communication is key, and opportunities for improvement always exist.The article featured for educational credit in this issue will undoubtedly resonate with many MS health care providers. Benjaminy and colleagues investigated the perceptions of MS patients and clinicians about time frames for stem cell research. Stem cells are not a new topic; when I was a resident, there was great enthusiasm about treating Parkinson disease with stem cells. However, in this time of social media and growing medical tourism, it is more essential than ever to understand perceptions in order to find avenues for communication between patients and clinicians, so that “informed hope” may be fostered. “Time is brain,” states one of the clinicians interviewed in this study, echoing the message of the Letter to the Editor from our founding editor Dr. Herndon.The other articles contained in this issue can be divided into two categories: comorbidities and the use of technology. Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a comorbidity often mentioned but seldom researched in MS. Carnero Contentti and colleagues found a higher frequency of RLS in 189 patients with MS compared with 238 controls and identified factors associated with the presence of RLS. Psychiatric comorbidities are known to be highly prevalent in MS, although more attention has been paid to depression than to anxiety. Vissicchio and colleagues found that anxiety has an indirect effect on verbal learning through processing speed, illustrating the existence of negative synergies between various symptoms and comorbidities often witnessed in clinical practice.Technology comes in many forms and has many applications in MS care, particularly in MS rehabilitation. Functional electrical stimulation for foot drop constitutes an example of commercially available technology that improves gait and walking in some people with MS. In their literature review, Renfrew and colleagues found evidence of a positive impact of functional electrical stimulation on various aspects of quality of life. Antigravity treadmills provide an opportunity for aerobic exercise and gait training even in the presence of significant gait impairment. Using this technology, Willingham and colleagues observed improvement in muscle oxidative capacity and endurance in six people with MS and moderate-to-severe levels of disability.“Virtual consultations” between MS experts and community health care providers are made possible by advancements in communication technology, as illustrated in Project ECHO, a program already described in the November–December 2017 issue of IJMSC. In a follow-up article herein, Alschuler and colleagues report that participating providers perceived a positive impact on the care of their patients with MS.The recently released 2018 CiteScore value for IJMSC (up 24% from the previous value) reflects the continued year-to-year increase in the journal's scholarly impact. We are particularly grateful to our authors and reviewers for their contribution to this success.
