conclusions the results suggested that apr1 gene expression in c. albicans strains isolated from ms patients may be an important factor for invasive c. albicans strains in the progression of ms disease. results there was a statistically significant difference in apr1 gene expression of c. albicans strains between ms patients (mean ± sd: 0.5208 ± 0.11518) and the control group (mean ± sd: 0.7603...

OBJECTIVES Data on pregnancy long-term effects on multiple sclerosis (MS) course are still controversial; whether experiencing more than one pregnancy exposes one to risk of the disability's accrual is still unknown. We investigated differences existing in terms of disability progression among women with MS (wwMS) who had one or more children after their MS onset. METHODS Monoparous and multi...
