Comparison of Phenotypic Characteristics and Prognosis Between Black and White Patients in a Tertiary ALS Clinic.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Antiretroviral therapy has improved survival for HIV-1-infected individuals. The neuroepidemiologic implications of HIV-1 in an aging population are not well known, particularly the prevalence of HIV-associated dementia (HAD). METHODS:The authors report a baseline cross-sectional analysis of 202 HIV-1-serop...
