Objective: Multidisciplinary care with free, rapid, and on-site bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (B/F/TAF) dispensation may improve health outcomes among migrants living with HIV. However, models for rapid B/F/TAF initiation are not well studied among migrants living with HIV, and an understanding of how social determinants of health (SDH) may affect HIV-related health outcomes for migrants enrolled in such care models is limited.
Methods: Within a 96-week pilot feasibility prospective cohort study at a multidisciplinary HIV clinic, participants received free B/F/TAF rapidly after care linkage.

We aimed to assess the long-term safety and effectiveness of ocrelizumab in a cohort of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) at high risk of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), previously treated with natalizumab in extending interval dosing (EID), who switched to ocrelizumab and to compare them with patients who continued EID-natalizumab. Thirty MS patients previously treated with natalizumab in EID (every 8 weeks) were included in this observational retrospective cohort study. Among them, 17 patients were switched to ocrelizumab and 13 continued with EID-natalizumab.

Background: In the ART-PRO pilot trial there were no virological failures through 48 weeks of treatment with dolutegravir plus lamivudine in suppressed individuals with and without archived lamivudine resistance-associated mutations (RAMs) detected through next-generation sequencing (NGS) but without evidence of lamivudine RAMs in baseline proviral DNA population sequencing.
Objectives: To present 96 week results from ART-PRO.
Methods: Open-label, single-arm pilot trial.

Antiretroviral therapies have been tested with the goal of maintaining virological suppression with a particular attention in limiting drug-related toxicity. With this aim we designed the DUAL study: a randomized, open-label, multicenter, 96 weeks-long pilot exploratory study in virologically suppressed HIV-1+ patients with the aim of evaluating the immunovirological success and the impact on non-HIV related morbidity of switching to a dual therapy with darunavir-ritonavir (DRV/r) and rilpivirine (RPV). We recruited patients who received a PI/r-containing HAART for ≥6 months, HIV-RNA < 50 cp/mL for ≥3 months, eGFR > 60 mL/min/1,73m2, without DRV or RPV RAMs.

Background: There is a significant need for a targeted therapy for essential tremor (ET), as medications have not been developed specifically for ET, and the ones prescribed are often not well-tolerated, so that many patients remain untreated. Recent work has shown that, unlike previous experience, kinematically guided individualized botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) injections provide benefit along with minimal weakness. Ours is the first long-term (96-week) safety and efficacy study of BoNT-A as monotherapy for ET using kinematically driven injection parameters.
