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

Hepatitis B Genotypes in Chronic Hepatitis B and Lamivudine Therapy

Intervirology, 2003
The influence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes on the natural history and the response to treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis B are of potential interest. Compared to the patients with HBV genotype C, those with genotype B were of a younger age and had a higher cumulative rate of hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) seroconversion during the ...

Neurovascular Contacts in the Pathophysiology of Neuralgic Amyotrophy: An Observational Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) is a prevalent, monophasic, multifocal immune‐mediated neuropathy. A distinctive characteristic of the disease is the occurrence of nerve or fascicle constrictions and torsions (NA‐associated focal nerve lesions, NAFL). The pathophysiology underlying this phenomenon remains to be fully elucidated.

A 17 Year Old With Developmental Delay Presenting With Increasing Confusion and Imbalance

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Methylmalonic acidemia is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder primarily caused by defects in methylmalonyl‐CoA mutase and cobalamin (vitamin B12) metabolism. These defects disrupt the tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, leading to the abnormal accumulation of metabolic products such as methylmalonic acid, propionic acid,

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
