Abstract:
Daclizumab, a MS treatment targeting IL2-receptor, has been recently withdrawn following reports of immune-mediated encephalitis. We report the case of a 39-years-old woman treated with daclizumab that presented a progressive decrease in the strength at her lower limbs which further worsened after the drug was stopped. Post-treatment MRI showed more than 20 new enhancing lesions. No symptoms nor signs associated with immune-mediated encephalitis were present. Our case highlights the problem of disease course after daclizumab discontinuation and urge neurologists to strictly monitor patients discontinuing the drug in order to exclude both the occurrence of immune-mediated encephalitis and disease reactivation.

Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...

Multiple Voltage Sources
In series, the positive terminal of one battery is connected to the negative terminal of another battery. Hence, the voltage of each battery is added to give the net voltage, which is increased because each battery boosts the electrons that enter it. The same current flows through each battery because they are connected in series.
Batteries are...
