TL;DR: This study enhances the catalog of multiple sclerosis risk variants and illustrates the value of fine mapping in the resolution of GWAS signals.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Early treatment with glatiramer acetate is efficacious in delaying conversion to clinically definite multiple sclerosis in patients presenting with clinically isolated syndrome and brain lesions detected by MRI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abundant expression of HIV Nef and Rev proteins in brain astrocytes in vivo is associated with dementia
Annamari Ranki,Marcus Nyberg,Vladimir Ovod,M. Haltia,Irina Elovaara,Raili Raininko,Hannu Haapasalo,Kai Krohn +7 more
TL;DR: In adult human brain, astrocytes are infected by HIV and preferentially express HIV Nef and Rev proteins but are also sometimes productively infected, which agrees with recent knowledge on the housekeeping activities of astroCytes and their eventual role in learning and memory.
Journal ArticleDOI
EFNS guidelines for the use of intravenous immunoglobulin in treatment of neurological diseases: EFNS task force on the use of intravenous immunoglobulin in treatment of neurological diseases.

TL;DR: IVIG should be considered as a second or third‐line therapy in relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis, if conventional immunomodulatory therapies are not tolerated, and in relapses during pregnancy or post‐partum period.
