Telaprevir for previously untreated chronic hepatitis C virus infection.
BACKGROUND In phase 2 trials, telaprevir, a hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 protease inhibitor, in combination with peginterferon-ribavirin, as compared with peginterferon-ribavirin alone, has shown improved efficacy, with potential for shortening the

Abstract Introduction The inclusion of people who use drugs in the design and evaluation of their health services remains a relatively new phenomenon. The aim of the research was to explore the experiences and perceptions of people accessing the Medical Supervised Injecting Centre (MSIC), and Clinic 180, Sydney Australia, and the factors facilitating ...

Global analysis of a spatiotemporal cellular model for the transmission of hepatitis C virus with Hattaf-Yousfi functional response [PDF]
In this paper, a mathematical analysis of the global dynamics of a partial differential equation viral infection cellular model is carried out. We study the dynamics of a hepatitis C virus (HCV) model, under therapy, that considers both absorption phenomenon and diffusion of virions, infected and uninfected cells in liver. Firstly, we prove boundedness

Predictability of IL-28B-polymorphism on protease-inhibitor-based triple-therapy in chronic HCV-genotype-1 patients: A meta-analysis [PDF]
AIM: To investigate the predictability of interleukin-28B single nucleotide polymorphism rs12979860 with respect to sustained virological response (SVR) in chronically hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype-1 patients treated with a protease-inhibitor and pegylated interferon-$\alpha$ (Peg-INF-$\alpha$) based triple-therapy.

Hepatitis C infection is a treatable disease.1 Generally, people with chronic hepatitis C are relatively asymptomatic but risk progression over time to cirrhosis and its complications. Combination antiviral therapy with pegylated interferon and ribavirin achieves sustained virological response rates of 42-80% depending on genotype.2 In August 2006 the ...
