- The study evaluates the immune response to COVID-19 vaccines in older people living with HIV (PWH), focusing on antibody durability over six months following the initial vaccination.
- At the six-month mark, all participants had detectable levels of antibodies, but there was a noted decline in antibody levels from the second visit to the third.
- The research also looks at T-cell responses and the side effects of booster shots, showing a comprehensive approach to understanding vaccine effectiveness in this demographic.
Improvement of Isolated Myoclonus Phenotype in Myoclonus Dystonia after Pallidal Deep Brain Stimulation.
