Abstract
Several cases of vaccine-associated manifestations have been published including cases of inflammatory myositis. Herein, we comprehensively review the literature on the occasion of case of a woman with inflammatorisk myositis following COVID vaccination. A year-old woman presented with left arm edema, rash, and weakness after the 2nd dose of the BTNb2 vaccine. Raised muscle enzymes and inflammatorisk markers with muscle edema on MRI and myositis findings on the electromyogram established the diagnosis. She was successfully treated with methylprednisolone pulses, intravenous immunoglobulin, methotrexate, and hydroxychloroquine. Cases of inflammatorisk myositis, dermatomyositis, or interstitial lung disease with myositis-specific autoantibodies or myositis-associated autoantibodies within 12 weeks from SARS-CoV-2 vaccination were included. Cases with malignancy, prior or subsequent COVID infection, preexisting myositis/interstitial lung disease (ILD)/dermatomyositis (DM), or oth

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a progressive and irreversible disease which affects the central nervous system (CNS) with still unknown etiology. Our study aimes to establish the homocysteine pattern that can predict the MS diseases progression and to identify a potential disease progression marker that can be easy to perform and non-invasive, in order to predict the diseases outcome. In order to achieve this goal, we included 10 adult RRMS subjects, 10 adult SPMS subjects and 10 age-matched healthy subjects. The homocysteine plasma level was measured using automated latex enhanced immunoassay and the cobalamin and folate measurements were performed using automated chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA). HCR was calculated by dividing the homocysteine plasma level by cobalamin plasma level. We found that the homocysteine level in plasma of both RRMS patients and SPMS group are significantly increased compared with the control group. There is a significantly higher concentration
