Mathematical Analysis of Autonomous and Nonautonomous Hepatitis B Virus Transmission Models [PDF]
This study presents an improved mathematical model for Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) transmission dynamics by investigating autonomous and nonautonomous cases. The novel model incorporates the effects of medical treatment, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of HBV transmission and potential control measures.

Adaptive Learning Expert System for Diagnosis and Management of Viral Hepatitis [PDF]
Viral hepatitis is the regularly found health problem throughout the world among other easily transmitted diseases, such as tuberculosis, human immune virus, malaria and so on. Among all hepatitis viruses, the uppermost numbers of deaths are result from the long-lasting hepatitis C infection or long-lasting hepatitis B. In order to develop this system,

Mathematical model of immune response to hepatitis B [PDF]
A new detailed mathematical model for dynamics of immune response to hepatitis B is proposed, which takes into account contributions from innate and adaptive immune responses, as well as cytokines. Stability analysis of different steady states is performed to identify parameter regions where the model exhibits clearance of infection, maintenance of a ...

IFITM3 Interacts with the HBV/HDV Receptor NTCP and Modulates Virus Entry and Infection
The Na+/taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP, gene symbol SLC10A1) is both a physiological bile acid transporter and the high-affinity hepatic receptor for the hepatitis B and D viruses (HBV/HDV).

Implementation and Evaluation of a Multivariate Abstraction-Based, Interval-Based Dynamic Time-Warping Method as a Similarity Measure for Longitudinal Medical Records [PDF]
We extended dynamic time warping (DTW) into interval-based dynamic time warping (iDTW), including (A) interval-based representation (iRep): [1] abstracting raw, time-stamped data into interval-based abstractions, [2] comparison-period scoping, [3] partitioning abstract intervals into a given temporal granularity; (B) interval-based matching (iMatch ...

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

Hepatitis D Virus Entry Inhibitors Based on Repurposing Intestinal Bile Acid Reabsorption Inhibitors
Identification of Na+/taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP) as high-affinity hepatic entry receptor for the Hepatitis B and D viruses (HBV/HDV) opened the field for target-based development of cell-entry inhibitors. However, most of the HBV/HDV
