Second Quantization Approach to Stochastic Epidemic Models [PDF]
We show how the standard field theoretical language based on creation and annihilation operators may be used for a straightforward derivation of closed master equations describing the population dynamics of multivariate stochastic epidemic models. In order to do that, we introduce an SIR-inspired stochastic model for hepatitis C virus epidemic, from ...

The five known causes of acute hepatitis are the hepatitis A (HAV), B (HBV), C (HCV), D (HDV), and E (HEV) viruses. Hepatitis A and E are forms of infectious hepatitis which spread largely by the fecal-oral route, occur in outbreaks a well as ...

Future prevention and treatment of chronic hepatitis B infection [PDF]
Vaccination for hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and treatment for chronic hepatitis B, while effective for primary prevention and control of the disease, still have their limitations. Global coverage of HBV immunization needs improvement.

A Bayesian Evidence Synthesis Approach to Estimate Disease Prevalence in Hard-To-Reach Populations: Hepatitis C in New York City [PDF]
Existing methods to estimate the prevalence of chronic hepatitis C (HCV) in New York City (NYC) are limited in scope and fail to assess hard-to-reach subpopulations with highest risk such as injecting drug users (IDUs). To address these limitations, we employ a Bayesian multi-parameter evidence synthesis model to systematically combine multiple sources

THE EXPERIENCE OF ENTECAVIR USE IN PATIENTS WITH HEPATITIS B VIRAL INFECTION ON AN OUTPATIENT BASIS
Aim: To evaluate retrospectively the efficacy and safety of entecavir in treatment-naïve patients with hepatitis B viral infection.Materials and methods: Based on patient medical documentation, we analyzed the results of clinical, virologic and ...

Combination versus sequential monotherapy in chronic HBV infection: a mathematical approach [PDF]
Sequential monotherapy is the most widely used therapeutic approach in the treatment of HBV chronic infection. Unfortunately, under therapy, in some patients the hepatitis virus mutates and gives rise to variants which are drug resistant. We conjecture that combination therapy is able to delay drug resistance for a longer time than sequential ...
