Gene expression in multiple sclerosis during pregnancy based on integrated bioinformatics analysis.

Background: The modulation of the activity disease in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) that occurs during pregnancy is a helpful model which could provide insight into central disease mechanisms and facilitate treatment. Therefore, the aim of the study was to identify differentially expressed genes in-silico to perform biological function pathway enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction from pregnant women with MS.

Methods: Transcriptome data were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database.

Effect of Rituximab Compared with Natalizumab and Fingolimod in Patients with Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis: A Cohort Study.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical files of patients with RRMS who started rituximab (RTX) compared with a second-line treatment (natalizumab (NTZ) or fingolimod (FTY)). This was a historical cohort study. We compared the effect according to the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) and the number of relapses in RRMS patients receiving these treatments after a mean period of 12 months.

Molecular epidemiology of HIV type 1 in Mexico: emergence of BG and BF intersubtype recombinants.

The molecular epidemiology of subtypes and intersubtype recombinants (IRs) of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in Mexico has not been characterized fully. Understanding its regional distribution, prevalence, adaptability, viral fitness, pathogenicity, and immunogenicity is decisive for any design of an effective HIV vaccine. The aim of this study was to describe the presence of IRs types BG and BF in a Mexican population.
