Home‐Based Tele‐tDCS in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Feasibility, Safety, and Preliminary Efficacy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with limited treatment options. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) shows promise as a neuromodulatory intervention in various neurological disorders, but its application in ALS, particularly in a remote, home‐based format, remains underexplored.

Patients' Global Impression of Change (PGIC) Score Compared to Monthly Migraine Days to Evaluate Treatment Persistence With Anti‐CGRP Monoclonal Antibodies

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study assessed whether continued treatment with anti‐CGRP monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is driven more by reductions in monthly migraine days (MMDs) or patients' global impression of change (PGIC), a patient‐reported outcome. Among 169 patients treated with anti‐CGRP mAbs, 21.3% discontinued due to ineffectiveness. PGIC responders (≥ 5) at

Towards a phylogenetic measure to quantify HIV incidence [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
One of the cornerstones in combating the HIV pandemic is being able to assess the current state and evolution of local HIV epidemics. This remains a complex problem, as many HIV infected individuals remain unaware of their infection status, leading to parts of HIV epidemics being undiagnosed and under-reported.

KIF5A p.Pro986Leu Risk Variant and Accelerated Progression of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explored the impact of KIF5A rs113247976 (p.Pro986Leu), a risk allele for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), on phenotypic variability in two Italian ALS cohorts (discovery, n = 865; replication, n = 1174). The minor allele (T) frequency was 0.015.

arXiv, 2007
Contact patterns in populations fundamentally influence the spread of infectious diseases. Current mathematical methods for epidemiological forecasting on networks largely assume that contacts between individuals are fixed, at least for the duration of an outbreak.

Effectiveness of a Telephone‐Delivered Walk With Ease Program on Arthritis‐Related Symptoms, Function, and Activity: A Randomized Trial

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Walk With Ease (WWE) is a six‐week arthritis‐appropriate evidence‐based physical activity program traditionally offered in a face‐to‐face format. Because many populations encounter participation barriers to in‐person programs, WWE was modified for telephone delivery (WWE‐T).
