Hepatitis A: The changing epidemiology of hepatitis A [PDF]

Clinical Liver Disease, 2013
Hepatitis A is a communicable disease of the liver caused by hepatitis A virus (HAV), which is a single-stranded, linear, nonenveloped RNA virus of the Picornaviridae family. The incubation period is 14 to 28 days (up to 50 days). The diagnosis is made with a positive test for immunoglobulin M antibody to hepatitis A virus (anti-HAV), which is ...

Portosystemic hepatic encephalopathy model shows reversal learning impairment and dysfunction of neural activity in the prefrontal cortex and regions involved in motivated behavior [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience (2011)18(5):690-4, 2011
Hepatic encephalopathy is a neurological complication that affects attention and memory. Experimental animal models have been used to study hepatic Encephalopathy, the most frequent being the portacaval shunt. In order to determine learning impairment and brain functional alterations in this model, we assessed reversal learning and neural metabolic ...

Significant down-regulation of growth hormone receptor expression revealed as a new unfavorable prognos- tic factor in hepatitis C virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]

Clinical and Molecular Hepatology, 2021
Background/Aims Growth hormone (GH) is the main regulator of somatic growth, metabolism, and gender dimorphism in the liver. GH receptor (GHR) signaling in cancer is derived from a large body of evidence, although the GHR signaling pathway involved in ...

Hepatic Venography in Hepatic Tumors

The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1969
In order to establish the diagnosis of hepatic tumors, hepatic venography was performed in 9 cases of primary hepatic tumors and in 17 cases of metastatic hepatic tumors. The deformity of the hepatic veins due to compression by tumors was observed in 42 per cent of the cases.

Textual analysis of clinical notes on pathology request forms to determine sensitivity and specificity of Hepatitis B and C virus infection status [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Background: It is not established whether clinical notes provided on pathology request forms are useful as decision support data when assessing Hepatitis B and C viral infection status. Objective: To determine sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value of clinical notes for identifying infection status of Hepatitis B and C.
