Abstract
In recent years, microRNAs (miRNAs) have gained increased attention from researchers around the globe. Although it is twenty nucleotides long, it can modulate several gene targets simultaneously. Their mal expression is a signature of various pathologies, and they provide the foundation to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of each pathology. Among the debilitating central nervous system (CNS) disorders with a growing prevalence globally is the multiple sclerosis (MS). Moreover, the diagnosis of MS is challenging due to the lack of disease-specific biomarkers, and the diagnosis mainly depends on ruling out other disabilities. MS could adversely affect patients' lives through its progression, and only symptomatic treatments are available as therapeutic options, but an exact cure is yet unavailable. Consequently, this review hopes to further the study of the biological features of miRNAs in MS and explore their potential as a therapeutic target.

Abstract
One of the leading symptoms in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) is cognitive impairment. It often affects aspects of cognition such as learning ability, memory, processing speed, and attention. It has been proven that patients often complain of difficulties in multitasking and choosing the right words. These problems are often underestimated. Various studies show that regular physical activity, mainly aerobic exercise, can potentially improve cognitive function. Positive effects on concentration, memory, and multitasking were described. In March 2019, the Tyumen regional center of MS, together with the clinical Institute of the brain (Yekaterinburg), launched a clinical study of methods for rehabilitation of cognitive disorders in patients with MS. There was a statistically significant improvement in MOCA-test scores, according to SDMT and PASSAT data in the main group of MS patients. Despite a significant improvement in cognitive function, the self-assessment of mental function according to the MSQOL54-MN test in this group of patients did not change. Our preliminary results suggest that a comprehensive and well-controlled training program can improve cognitive abilities in MS patients even after a short course of treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is no comprehensive and specific questionnaire translated, adapted and validated in the Polish language for evaluating symptoms, quality of life and complications associated with the neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD). The aim of this study was to translate, culturally adapt and validate a Polish version of the Neurogenic Bladder Symptom Score (NBSS) for patients who experience NLUTD. MATERIAL AND METHODS Standardised guidelines and well-established methods were used for translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the NBSS. Adult patients with multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injury completed the NBSS, the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF), the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and the SF-Qualiveen. Responses were recorded twice within a 14-day period. RESULTS Two hundred seventy-four Polish-speaking patients with NLUTD were included in the study. Content validity was optimal. Significant relationships between NBSS (Incontinence) and ICIQ-SF, NBSS (Storage and Voiding) and IPSS, and NBSS (Quality of Life) and SF-Qualiveen confirmed good construct/criterion validity. An intercorrelation study revealed that internal consistency was good for the total NBSS and specific domains (Cronbach's alpha >0.7). Test-retest reliability (reproducibility) demonstrated strong stability (intra-class correlation coefficients >0.7 for the total NBSS). No ceiling or floor effects were present. CONCLUSIONS The Polish NBSS demonstrated good measurement properties for a large cohort of patients with NLUTD. It is a suitable tool to assess NLUTD symptoms, consequences and quality of life. The Polish NBSS will support routine clinical practice of all types of physicians in Poland who care for patients with NLUTD.

Abstract
AIMS No specific questionnaire to date has been available in Polish for evaluating health-related quality of life for urinary dysfunctions associated with multiple sclerosis (MS). The aim of this study was to translate, culturally adapt, and validate Polish versions of the Qualiveen and SF-Qualiveen for use in patients with MS. METHODS Cross-cultural adaptation of the original English Qualiveen and SF-Qualiveen into Polish was performed according to international recommended and standard procedures. Adult patients with MS of the Department of Urology at the Jagiellonian University, Krakow, Poland, completed the Qualiveen, SF-Qualiveen, and International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF) twice: at baseline and 2 weeks later. RESULTS One hundred eighty-nine Polish-speaking patients with MS completed the questionnaires. An intercorrelation study revealed that internal consistency was good for the total Qualiveen and SF-Qualiveen (Cronbach's α >0.8). Test-retest reliability (reproducibility) demonstrated strong stability (intraclass correlation coefficient >0.8). Content validities were optimal. Significant relationships between the Qualiveen and the ICIQ-SF, as well as the SF-Qualiveen and the ICIQ-SF, confirmed good construct/criterion validity. CONCLUSION The Polish Qualiveen and SF-Qualiveen are reliable, valid, and consistent measures of urinary disorder-specific quality of life in patients with MS. After years of no appropriate Polish instrument being available for healthcare professionals to evaluate patients with MS, we provide these versions and recommend their use in research and clinical practice in Poland.

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a unique neurological disease with a broad spectrum of clinical presentations that are time- and disease course-related. Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are highly prevalent in this patient population, with approximately 90% showing some degree of voiding dysfunction and/or incontinence 6-8 years after the initial MS diagnosis. Major therapeutic goals include quality of life improvement and the avoidance of urological complications Owing to the wide divergence of clinical symptoms and disease course, evaluation and treatment differ between patients. Treatment must be customized for each patient based on disease phase, patient independence, manual dexterity, social support, and other medical- or MS-related issues. Ablative or irreversible therapies are indicated only when the disease course is stable. In most cases of "safe" bladder, behavioural treatment is considered first-line defense. Antimuscarinic drugs, alone or in combination with intermittent self-catheterization, are currently the mainstay of conservative treatment, and several other medications may help in specific disease conditions. Second-line treatment includes botulinum toxin A injection, neuromodulation, indwelling catheters, and surgery in well-selected cases.

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a unique neurological disease with a broad spectrum of clinical presentations that are time- and disease course-related. MS plaque location (intracranial and/or spinal) is a key feature in the pathophysiology of disease-related lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The prevalence of these symptoms in MS patients is very high, with nearly 90% of them experiencing some degree of voiding dysfunction and/or incontinence. LUTS rarely present as primary MS manifestations and usually appear 6-8 years after the initial diagnosis. Symptom severity usually correlates with the disability status of patients. Patient assessment comprises clinical and advanced investigations. Each patient should be evaluated uniquely, after taking into account his/her symptoms, disease course and length, comorbidities, physical status, and medications. Basic investigation includes detailed history-taking, physical examination, and post-void residual volume measurement. Advanced evaluation consists of imaging and specific testing, with pivotal importance on urodynamic study.
