Comparative Effectiveness and Safety of Inebilizumab Versus Rituximab in AQP4‐IgG‐Positive NMOSD
ABSTRACT Objective Rituximab (anti‐CD20, RTX) and inebilizumab (anti‐CD19, INE) represent B‐cell‐depleting therapies used for aquaporin‐4 antibody‐positive (AQP4‐IgG+) neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD); however, direct comparative evidence remains limited.

The occurrence of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura during treatment of HCV with direct-acting antiviral agents [PDF]
Background and aim Experts have reported thrombocytopenia is linked to chronic liver disease in up to 70% of patients with advanced fibrosis and portal hypertension. The occurrence of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) with HCV infection is a rare

Estimating the cost-effectiveness of detecting cases of chronic hepatitis C infection on reception into prison [PDF]
Background In England and Wales where less than 1% of the population are Injecting drug users (IDUs), 97% of HCV reports are attributed to injecting drug use. As over 60% of the IDU population will have been imprisoned by the age of 30 years, prison may

Human Pegivirus Encephalitis With Brain Detection and Response to Sofosbuvir Ledipasvir
ABSTRACT Human pegivirus (HPgV‐1) has been associated with severe encephalomyelitis in immunocompromised patients. Its neurological spectrum remains poorly defined. We report a slowly progressive encephalitis in a person living with well‐controlled HIV, characterized by white matter abnormalities and inflammatory cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). HPgV RNA was

HCV-specific IL-21 responses correlate with HCV RNA levels in acute HIV/HCV coinfection.
Correlations between combined HCV NS3 and HCV NS4-induced IL-21 (A) and IL-17A (B) secretion from the PBMC of coinfected subjects and RNA levels were evaluated in individuals with acute HCV infection with prior HIV infection at the time of presentation ...

This study reports D34 as the first PROTAC degrader that targets the 3C protease of picornaviruses. D34 effectively degrades EV71 3C protease via the ubiquitin‐proteasome pathway. More importantly, D34 exhibits a high resistance barrier and shows broad‐spectrum antiviral activity against multiple picornaviruses, highlighting its potential as a novel ...
