Quantitative anti-HBc combined with quantitative HBsAg can predict HBsAg clearance in sequential combination therapy with PEG-IFN-α in NA-suppressed chronic hepatitis B patients

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Background and aimsPrecise predictors are lacking for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) clearance under the combination therapy of nucleos(t)ide analogs (NA) and pegylated interferon-alpha (PEG-IFN-α) in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).

Clinical significance of isolated anti-HBc positivity in cases of chronic liver disease in New Delhi, India

Journal of Global Infectious Diseases, 2009
Background: The presence of anti-HBc IgG in the absence of HBsAg is usually indicative of a past self-limiting HBV infection. But it is frequently associated with co-infection with HCV which can worsen the existing status of chronic liver disease (CLD).

An Action for Black Hole Membranes [PDF]

, 1997
The membrane paradigm is the remarkable view that, to an external observer, a black hole appears to behave exactly like a dynamical fluid membrane, obeying such pre-relativistic equations as Ohm's law and the Navier-Stokes equation.

Serological Patterns of Hepstitis B Virus Among HBsAg Negative Blood Donors in Baghdad, Iraq by Using Architect System

مجلة كلية الطب, 2016
Background: About 10-15% of population HBV infection becomes chronic, and 85-90% are resolved. In Iraq, HBs-Ag assay by ELISA is only mandatory test for detection of HBV infection in blood donors. Anti- HBc and anti-HBs were not detectable in their sera.
