Scalar mesons in a finite volume [PDF]

, 2010
Using effective field theory methods, we discuss the extraction of the mass and width of the scalar mesons f0(980) and a0(980) from the finite-volume spectrum in lattice QCD.

Novel Long‐Read Sequencing Method for Characterisation of Hepatitis B Transcripts Show High Expression of Chimeric HBV/Human RNA

Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Hepatitis B virus (HBV) genomes integrated into human DNA significantly contribute to surface antigen (HBsAg) production and may drive hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Long‐read sequencing methods like Nanopore offer advantages over short‐read next‐generation sequencing (NGS) by providing continuous reads of whole transcripts, but ...

Prevalence and Spectrum of Chronic Liver Disease Among Patients Seeking Health Care in Ghana

Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic liver diseases (CLD) leading to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in sub‐Saharan Africa and pose a significant burden on its health care systems. We aimed to elucidate the prevalence of fibrosis/cirrhosis in patients seeking health care in Kumasi, Ghana, and its underlying aetiologies.

T‐ and B‐cell responses and previous exposure to hepatitis B virus in ‘anti‐HBc alone’ patients

Journal of Viral Hepatitis, 2015
SummaryA serologic response to hepatitis B virus (HBV) defined as ‘anti‐HBc alone’ is commonly observed, but its significance remains unclear. This study aimed to define the relationship between ‘anti‐HBc alone’ serostatus and HBV infection, including HBV‐specific T‐ and B‐cell memory responses. We enrolled 31 ‘anti‐HBc alone’ patients.

Indeterminate Phase/Grey Zone of Chronic Hepatitis B: Clinical Features, Outcomes and Molecular Insights

Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a global public health challenge, with a high risk of complications such as cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and death. As outlined in current international society guidelines, antiviral therapies are aimed at preventing progression of liver disease to life‐threatening complications ...

A Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP) Model of Acute Hepatitis B Virus Infection: Mechanistic Insights and Foundations for Future Extensions

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a significant global health challenge. While the dynamic interplay between viral replication and host immune responses determines infection outcomes, the mechanisms driving the resolution of acute infection versus the emergence of chronicity remain incompletely understood.
