Journal ArticleDOI

Safety and efficacy of eculizumab in anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody-positive refractory generalised myasthenia gravis (REGAIN): a phase 3, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre study

James F. Howard, +623 more
- 01 Dec 2017 - 
TL;DR: A phase 3, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre study in 76 hospitals and specialised clinics across North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia to assess the efficacy and safety of eculizumab in patients with refractory myasthenia gravis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficacy and Safety of Rituximab Therapy in Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Valentina Damato, +2 more
- 01 Nov 2016 - 
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that rituximab therapy reduces the frequency of NMOSD relapses and neurological disability in patients with NMOSDs, however, the safety profile suggests caution in prescribing ritUXimab as a first-line therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

A significant sex--but not elective cesarean section--effect on mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis C virus infection

Antonio Amoroso, +89 more
- 01 Dec 2005 - 
TL;DR: The results strongly suggest that women should neither be offered an elective CS nor be discouraged from breast-feeding on the basis of HCV infection alone, and the sex association is an intriguing finding that probably reflects biological differences in susceptibility or response to infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Updated estimate of AQP4-IgG serostatus and disability outcome in neuromyelitis optica

Yujuan Jiao, +13 more
- 01 Oct 2013 - 
TL;DR: AQP4-IgG–seronegative NMO is less frequent than previously reported and is clinically similar to AQP4–immunoglobulin G–seropositive NMO, and serological tests using recombinant AQP3 antigen are significantly more sensitive than tissue-based IIF for detecting AQP 4-IGG.
Journal ArticleDOI

Re-evaluation of the diagnostic criteria for Wilson disease in children with mild liver disease†‡

Emanuele Nicastro, +4 more
- 01 Dec 2010 - 
TL;DR: Urinary copper excretion greater than 40 μg/24 hours is suggestive of Wilson disease in asymptomatic children, whereas the penicillamine challenge test does not have a diagnostic role in this subset of patients.
