Sofosbuvir and Velpatasvir for HCV Genotype 2 and 3 Infection.
BACKGROUND In phase 2 trials, treatment with the combination of the nucleotide polymerase inhibitor sofosbuvir and the NS5A inhibitor velpatasvir resulted in high rates of sustained virologic response in patients chronically infected with hepatitis C ...

The R Package HCV for Hierarchical Clustering from Vertex-links [PDF]
The HCV package implements the hierarchical clustering for spatial data. It requires clustering results not only homogeneous in non-geographical features among samples but also geographically close to each other within a cluster. We modified typically used hierarchical agglomerative clustering algorithms to introduce the spatial homogeneity, by ...

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is an important risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Despite effective antiviral therapies, the risk for HCC is decreased but not eliminated after a sustained virologic response (SVR)

An optimal control approach for the treatment of hepatitis C patients [PDF]
In this article, the feasibility of using optimal control theory will be studied to develop control theoretic methods for personalized treatment of HCV patients. The mathematical model for HCV progression includes compartments for healthy hepatocytes, infected hepatocytes, infectious virions and noninfectious virions.

Evaluate the prevalence of CCP and RF antibodies as a marker for diagnosis and progression of Rheumatoid Arthritis disease and assess the prevalence of HCV in RA patients [PDF]
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by the presence of autoantibodies like rheumatoid factor (RF). In the last few years, several other autoantibodies have been described of which anti-cyclic citrullinated

Telaprevir for retreatment of HCV infection.
BACKGROUND Up to 60% of patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 infection do not have a sustained virologic response to therapy with peginterferon alfa plus ribavirin.

HIV dynamics and natural history studies: Joint modeling with doubly interval-censored event time and infrequent longitudinal data [PDF]
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) coinfection has become one of the most challenging clinical situations to manage in HIV-infected patients. Recently the effect of HCV coinfection on HIV dynamics following initiation of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has drawn considerable attention.
