In MS, a fl icker can inform the future

DISEASE ACTIVITY AND PERMANENT DAMAGEEven a fl icker of disease activity can have potentially substantial consequences for MS patients. In MS, clinical and subclinical disease activity can occur early in the disease course and persist throughout the disease.1-3

KEEPING FUTURES BRIGHTClinical evidence shows that achieving tighter control of MS disease activity may predict long-term reduction in accumulation of disability.4 New questions are also rising to the surface: can more aggressive control—even early in the course of the disease—help reduce the accumulation of disability?

IF SUBCLINICAL ACTIVITY IS NOT ADDRESSED EARLIER IN THE

DISEASE COURSE, WHAT ARE THE CLINICAL CONSEQUENCES?

WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM EVEN SMALL AMOUNTS OF SUBCLINICAL ACTIVITY- A study of RRMS patients with sustained

disability progression during IFNβ treatment showed that the appearance of one or more T2 lesions can increase patients’ risk for disability progression greater than 15-fold, even in the absence of clinical relapses3

-This study was a single-center, prospective, observational, postmarketing study of RRMS patients during at least 1 year of treatment with one of the available IFNβ formulations

disease activity in MS.

The CMSC schedule boasts a compelling cross-section of interesting sessions on basic science, psychosocial issues, disease-modifying treatment and symptom management, nursing, rehabilitation, skills development, research, and of course, comprehensive management—a topic near and dear to the CMSC’s mission and heart. Health providers of all disciplines with an interest in MS—physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and rehabilita-tion professionals—can earn CME/CE/CEU credits for attending the Annual Meeting. Each day offers a host of complimentary meals, multiple educational sessions, and independent symposia.

It’s annual meeting time, and this year the CMSC is convening at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center

in National Harbor, Maryland. It may sound a little off the beaten track, but in truth the

Gaylord complex is just south of Washington, DC. (There’s even a shuttle bus from the resort to the National Mall.) In addition, the resort itself has a lot to offer in terms of dining and entertainment. That adds up to a great trip for CMSC attendees and their families.

Enjoy!

Welcome Meeting Preview

“The 2016 Annual Meeting of the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers (CMSC) marks the 30th anniversary of the founding of our organization. We invite you to celebrate 30 years of achievement; not only for the CMSC, but for all MS healthcare professionals and researchers. The world of MS has changed: New and promising therapies have emerged, international recognition of the value of the team approach has increased, and advanced models of care have risen to prominence. Each year, the content of the Annual Meeting reflects the evolution of MS care and research. This year, like no other, we will be able to celebrate with one another, learn together, and participate in unique and exciting activities that reflect our members’ learning needs as well as the needs of those whom we serve—our patients and

their families.”June Halper, MSN, APN-C, MSCN, FAANCMSC Chief Executive Officer

The Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center is a spectacular waterfront hotel on the banks of the Potomac River that is operated by Marriott Interna-tional. It is adjacent to the National Harbor enter-tainment, dining, and shopping district, a 300-acre development just eight miles south of Washington, DC. The first-class resort houses a large spa, indoor pool, whirlpool, fitness center, restaurants, and shops, and is connected via an indoor walkway to the convention center. A two-story rooftop lounge offers picturesque late-night views of the nation’s capital.

There is a daily resort fee of $15/night, which includes basic high-speed Internet service in guest rooms, access to the fitness center and indoor pool, and two bottles of water daily. All rooms are non-smoking. An 18% tax is added to the room rate nightly, and all taxes and fees are subject to change.

The White House1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW202-456-7041www.whitehouse.gov

7:30 AM – 11:30 AM Tuesday through Thursday7:30 AM – 1:30 PM Friday and SaturdayFree tours (must be booked in advance)

Home to every president since John Adams (George Wash-ington chose the site but never actually lived there), Theo-dore Roosevelt named 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue “The White House” in 1901. To take a tour, request tickets up to 6 months in

The attractions and restaurants of the National Harbor complex are within walking distance of the Gaylord hotel and convention center.

The Capital Wheel$15 for adults and $11.25 for kids 12 and underRide length varies from 12 to 15 minuteshttp://thecapitalwheel.com/

For a sky-high view, go for a spin on the Capital Wheel, a 180’ high observation wheel (much like the London Eye). It features climate-controlled, enclosed gondolas and offers spectacular views of the Potomac River, the Washington Monument, the US Capitol, Alexandria, Virginia, and Prince George’s County.

It takes half an hour, more or less depending on DC’s well-known traffic, to get from the Gaylord Resort to the National Mall and downtown area (and about 45 minutes to Georgetown). If you can spare the time, though, it’s well worth it since our capital city offers a wide variety of activities and dining experiences. As an American, there is no doubt that you will feel proud of your country once you see the beautiful city and buildings that represent us, from The White House to the Capitol Building to the Lincoln and Washington Memorials.

Memorials Along the National MallOpen 24 Hours a DayFree

There are, of course, no shortage of memorials in Washington, DC, and many are just blocks away from The White House. On the National Mall, a two-mile green built for strolling, you’ll find the imposing Lincoln Memorial at the far west and the Washington Monument a short walk away to the east. In between are the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall, WW II, Ko-rean War, and other memorials. Across the Tidal Basin are the Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Jefferson Memorials.

The US Capitol Building202-226-8000www.visitthecapitol.gov/plan-visit/book-tour-capitolFree

On the far east end of the National Mall lies the US Capitol, where the Congress convenes. The Capitol Visitor Center is open daily, but if you want a tour, you’ll need a ticket. You can book tours through your Representative or Senator or online, or you may be able to get a same-day tour pass at the Visitor Center.

Smithsonian MuseumsNational Mall and Downtown AreaFree

The revered Smithsonian Institution consists of 15 world-famous museums focusing on a variety of areas of interest. All of the museums are free to visit and many are clustered around the National Mall: the National Air and Space Museum, National Museum of African Art, National Museum of American His-tory, National Museum of Natural History, National Museum of the American Indian, the Hirshhorn Mu-

National Zoological Park3001 Connecticut Avenue, NW202-633-1000www.nationalzoo.si.eduFree

The Walrus Oyster and Ale House152 Waterfront Street301-567-6100www.walrusoysterandale.com/Lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch

The name, you might recall, is from the Lewis Carroll poem “The Walrus and the Carpenter,” and the cuisine is squarely rooted in Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay. That means fresh seafood (Maryland-style crab cakes!) and an oyster bar, complemented by 14 local tap beers, tap wines, and colorful frozen drinks. All dishes (and there are also chicken and beef options) are made from scratch with locally sourced ingredients. The restaurant is casual and fun in feel, and a 75-seat deck offers beautiful views of the Potomac River and Old Town Alexandria.

It’s advisable to make a reservation if you’d like to dine at any of the following popular DC eateries.

In MS, a fl icker can inform the future

DISEASE ACTIVITY AND PERMANENT DAMAGEEven a fl icker of disease activity can have potentially substantial consequences for MS patients. In MS, clinical and subclinical disease activity can occur early in the disease course and persist throughout the disease.1-3

KEEPING FUTURES BRIGHTClinical evidence shows that achieving tighter control of MS disease activity may predict long-term reduction in accumulation of disability.4 New questions are also rising to the surface: can more aggressive control—even early in the course of the disease—help reduce the accumulation of disability?

IF SUBCLINICAL ACTIVITY IS NOT ADDRESSED EARLIER IN THE

DISEASE COURSE, WHAT ARE THE CLINICAL CONSEQUENCES?

WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM EVEN SMALL AMOUNTS OF SUBCLINICAL ACTIVITY- A study of RRMS patients with sustained

disability progression during IFNβ treatment showed that the appearance of one or more T2 lesions can increase patients’ risk for disability progression greater than 15-fold, even in the absence of clinical relapses3

-This study was a single-center, prospective, observational, postmarketing study of RRMS patients during at least 1 year of treatment with one of the available IFNβ formulations

disease activity in MS.
