Deep Learning-based Assessment of Hepatic Steatosis on chest CT [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Purpose: Automatic methods are required for the early detection of hepatic steatosis to avoid progression to cirrhosis and cancer. Here, we developed a fully automated deep learning pipeline to quantify hepatic steatosis on non-contrast enhanced chest computed tomography (CT) scans.

The importance of triple panel testing for hepatitis B and the burden of isolated anti-hepatitis B core antibodies within a community sample

Journal of Virus Eradication, 2023
Within the United States (US), 2.4 million individuals are living with chronic hepatitis B, but less than 20% are diagnosed. Isolated anti-hepatitis B core (iAHBc) antibodies indicate serology in an individual that is positive for anti-HBc antibodies ...

HCV and HBV prevalence based on home blood self-sampling and screening history in the general population in 2016: contribution to the new French screening strategy

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2019
Background The advent of effective direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), has prompted an assessment of the French Hepatitis C virus (HCV) screening strategy, which historically targeted high-risk groups. One of the options put forward is the implementation of

Prevalence of chronic hepatitis B in Oro Province, Papua New Guinea

Western Pacific Surveillance and Response, 2020
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) affects over 250 million people worldwide. In Papua New Guinea (PNG) CHB prevalence has been estimated to be over 8% and is a leading cause of death. To address this problem, an alliance between the government of Oro Province, a

Virologic Tools for HCV Drug Resistance Testing

Viruses, 2015
Recent advances in molecular biology have led to the development of new antiviral drugs that target specific steps of the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) lifecycle. These drugs, collectively termed direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), include non-structural (NS) HCV

Hepatitis B discrimination: global responses requiring global data

BMC Public Health
Over 250 million individuals live with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection worldwide. A significant proportion of these people often face discrimination defined as the unjust, unfair, or prejudicial treatment of a person on the grounds of their hepatitis

Mathematical Model and Analysis of Transmission Dynamics of Hepatitis B Virus [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Hepatitis B is a potentially life-threatening liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). In this paper, the transmission dynamics of hepatitis B is formulated with a mathematical model with considerations of different classes of individuals, namely immunized, susceptible, latent,infected and recovered class.

Intracellular Dynamics of Hepatitis B Virus Infection: A Mathematical Model and Global Sensitivity Analysis of Its Parameters [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Analysis of cell population can reveal the average information about the viral infection in host whereas single-cell analysis can capture the individual consideration. Single-cell analysis can also provide new ways to explore viral diversities and identify the intrinsic extreme phenotype of the cells. In this study, a single-cell hepatitis B virus (HBV)

Modeling the dynamics of the Hepatitis B virus via a variable-order discrete system [PDF]

Chaos Solitons Fractals 184 (2024), Art. 114987, 8pp
We investigate the dynamics of the hepatitis B virus by integrating variable-order calculus and discrete analysis. Specifically, we utilize the Caputo variable-order difference operator in this study. To establish the existence and uniqueness results of the model, we employ a fixed-point technique.
