Ofatumumab-exposed breastfeeding in multiple sclerosis patients.

Background: In Europe, ofatumumab is approved for breastfeeding, but data on its transfer into breast milk and clinical experience are lacking.

Objective: To analyze (1) health, development, and adverse events after live vaccination of ofatumumab-exposed breastfed infants and (2) detectability of ofatumumab in breast milk, and to calculate the relative infant dose (RID) using two methods, the traditional method and a second method considering maternal exposure to multiple ofatumumab doses and extended collection period.

Methods: In this observational study, clinical data were collected by standardized telephone interviews up to 2 years postpartum.

Impact of symptomatic multiple sclerosis therapy on pregnancy outcome.

Background: Information on symptomatic therapy (ST) use in women of childbearing age with multiple sclerosis is sparse, and data on the impact of ST pregnancy exposure on pregnancy outcome are lacking.

Objective: To investigate (1) ST use patterns pre-conception, during pregnancy and postpartum and (2) pregnancy outcomes.

Methods: Pregnancy data from the German Multiple Sclerosis and Pregnancy Registry were analyzed for the ST use from pre-conception to postpartum.

Clinical associations of complement-activating collectins, collectin-10, collectin-11 and mannose-binding lectin in preterm neonates.

Introduction: Premature and low-birthweight infants are at especially high risk of perinatal complications, including impaired thermoregulation, infections and respiratory distress. Such adverse effects and the need for invasive procedures are associated with high mortality among preterms. This study focused on the influence of the innate immune system and tested the levels of collectins, collectin-10 (CL-10), collectin-11 (CL-11) and mannose-binding lectin (MBL) in preterm neonates.

The Swiss Prison Study (SWIPS): Results from a registry-based study of prisoners in Switzerland from 2015 to 2020.

Aim Of The Study: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate demographic characteristics of inmates in the Canton of Zurich (exposure), and investigate the changes in diseases and drug use between 2015 and 2020 (outcome).

Methods: The study prospectively evaluated 51,989 inmates admitted to the Police Prison Zurich in Switzerland between 1 April 2015 and 31 August 2020 and who were systematically medically assessed. A total of 19,027 (37%) inmates had one or more health conditions, which the authors recorded according to the International Classification of Diseases-10 (ICD-10), in addition to demographic data (country of origin, sex, age, year of imprisonment), as well as details of any drugs used (type and dosage).
