HBsAg in Cord Blood Qf Newborns of HBsAg-Positive Mothers

Paediatrica Indonesiana, 2018
Vertical transmission of hepatitis B infection that may occur during pregnancy at delivery-, in infancy, and early childhood has an important role in the development of chronic hepatitis B. Intrauterine infection is suspected to occur when hepatitis B viruses cross the placenta into fetal circulation due to failure of placental tissue function.

Switching to PegIFNα-2b leads to HBsAg loss in patients with low HBsAg levels and HBV DNA suppressed by NAs

Scientific Reports, 2017
Patients with low hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) levels and hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA suppression by nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs) achieve high rate of HBsAg loss through switching to PegIFNα in pre-registration study. The aim of this study was to

ADAR1 mRNA quantification for predicting HSIL in persons with HIV and abnormal anal cytology

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? This study introduces ADAR1 mRNA quantification as a promising biomarker for improving high‐grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) prediction in HIV‐positive individuals with abnormal anal cytology. With 92% specificity, it reduces unnecessary high‐resolution anoscopies (HRA) by 77%, offering a more efficient and targeted screening ...

The Fibrosis‐4 score is associated with overall mortality and severe haematological toxicity in older patients with cancer: Analysis of two prospective cohort studies

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Liver function decreases with age, affecting the metabolism of many chemotherapy drugs. For older cancer patients, however, a standardized liver status screening method is lacking. Here, Fibrosis‐4 (FIB‐4) score was investigated for its utility as a non‐invasive method in predicting treatment toxicity and mortality in cancer patients age 70

Hepatic flares promote rapid decline of serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in patients with HBsAg seroclearance: A long‐term follow‐up study

Hepatology Research, 2016
Serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) seroclearance is one of the ultimate goals of management of chronic hepatitis B. We investigated the kinetics of serum HBsAg before HBsAg seroclearance in patients with chronic hepatitis B.

Genetic variants underlying precancerous conditions of hepatocellular carcinoma

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Abstract Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common form of liver cancer, accounting for 80% of cases worldwide. While chronic hepatitis B and C infections remain primary risk factors, emerging evidence highlights the increasing contributions of metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and alcohol‐associated liver disease
