Overview
In this recorded Neurology Grand Rounds presentation, Stanford Neurology Resident Dr. Nate Lee discusses health and neuroimmunology and breaking global barriers. IDr. Lees’ presentation focuses on multiple sclerosis (MS) as a quintessential inflammatory demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system. Dr. Lee highlights the increasing prevalence of MS, discussing the challenges in understanding the pathobiology of MS and the limitations of current treatments. Dr. Lee emphasizes the dynamic nature of MS lesions and the diversity of MS types, which contribute to diagnostic challenges. He discusses the difficulties in diagnosing and treating MS in low-resource settings, including limited access to MRI and lumbar punctures. Dr. Lee also addresses the impact of social determinants of health on MS diagnosis and treatment. The discussion concludes with advice for trainees interested in global neurology and neuroimmunology.
