Distinct cytokine patterns in Occult Hepatitis C and Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background & Aim: The immunopathogenesis of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a matter of great controversy. The imbalance of T-helper lymphocyte cell cytokine production was believed to play an important pathogenic role in ...

Three broad modalities in the natural history of vertically acquired hepatitis C virus infection.

open access: yes, 2005
BACKGROUND: Little is known about the natural history of vertically acquired hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. METHODS: We performed a large, multicenter, prospective study of children born to HCV-infected women in Europe. Children were considered to

Chronobiology of Cancer: How Aging Fuels Oncogenesis at the Molecular Level

open access: yesAging and Cancer, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates the key biological pathways linking aging with cancer development and progression. In the upper left, cumulative exposure to ultraviolet radiation, toxins, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) causes DNA damage and genomic instability, whereas age‐related decline in repair mechanisms, such as ATM/ATR, BER, and NER ...

Genetic Evolution of Hepatitis E Virus

open access: yes, 2016
Comparative analysis of the genomic sequences of multiple hepatitis E virus (HEV) isolates has revealed extensive genomic diversity among them. Recently, a variety of genetically distinct HEV variants have also been isolated and identified from large ...

Comparative Effectiveness and Safety of Inebilizumab Versus Rituximab in AQP4‐IgG‐Positive NMOSD

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Rituximab (anti‐CD20, RTX) and inebilizumab (anti‐CD19, INE) represent B‐cell‐depleting therapies used for aquaporin‐4 antibody‐positive (AQP4‐IgG+) neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD); however, direct comparative evidence remains limited.

Leprosy and hepatitis B coinfection in southern Brazil

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2014
To investigate the association of leprosy with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, as yet unknown for South Brazil, we assessed hepatitis B virus coinfection in 199 South Brazilian leprosy patients (119 lepromatous, 15 tuberculoid, 30 borderline, 12 ...

Hepatitis E virus infections

open access: yesWorld Journal of Virology
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is now endemic worldwide. Most patients with acute infection recover uneventfully. Outbreaks and sporadic cases, particularly in high-risk individuals are emerging increasingly. The patients with risk factors like pregnancy and pre-existing chronic liver disease, present with or progress rapidly to severe disease ...

Overview of hepatitis E virus [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Infectious Disease Reports, 2002
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an enterically transmitted virus usually presenting as an acute self-limiting disease. However, mortality increases dramatically from around 1% to 20% in pregnant women. HEV has been the cause of very large outbreaks of hepatitis in developing countries and is also responsible for a significant number of sporadic cases. It is

Hepatitis E virus and fulminant hepatitis–a virus or host‐specific pathology? [PDF]

open access: yesLiver International, 2014
AbstractBackground & AimsFulminant hepatitis is a rare outcome of infection with hepatitis E virus. Several recent reports suggest that virus variation is an important determinant of disease progression. To critically examine the evidence that virus‐specific factors underlie the development of fulminant hepatitis following hepatitis E virus ...

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

open access: yesAnnals 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.
