Interferon-α for Immune Modulation in Chronic Hepatitis B Toward Functional Cure [PDF]
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) remains a major global health challenge, largely due to the persistence of covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) and impaired host immunity.

Management and Treatment of Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B: Towards Personalized Medicine
The currently available antiviral treatments (Peg-Interferon-α and Nucleos(t)ide Analogues, NA) for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) achieve a functional cure (serum HBsAg and HDV-DNA clearance) of HBV infection in a limited number of patients.

OBESITY AND DYSLIPIDEMIA IN CHILDREN WITH CHRONIC HEPATITIS [PDF]
Chronic hepatitis association with various types of dyslipidemia is a reality not only for the obese pediatric patient, in which we expect to find hypercholesterolemia and / or hypertriglyceridemias, but also for normal weight children with hepatitis ...
