COVID 19 stands for Corona virus disease 2019. It’s a highly contagious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2, SARS COV 2, a race of corona virus. Non-symptomatic carriers and asymptomatic transmission is a major cause of poor control over the disease. Older age is known for increased mortality.

However, the researchers noted that the emphasis on specificity can lead to disease under-staging. Using this, tumors were categorized into the following: viable (LI-RADS 4, 5, or treatment response), equivocal (LI-RADS 3 or treatment response), and no viable disease (only LI-RADS treatment response).

Microglia are immune cells in the brain that are thought to have a role in MS disease progression but cannot be seen by a routine MRI. Just as a smoldering fire can burn slowly without smoke or flame, smoldering inflammation may linger in patients with MS, driving disease progression and symptoms, even when it cannot be assessed on MRI.
