Sofosbuvir, a nucleotide inhibitor of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) polymerase, is a component of several all-oral HCV therapies. GS-331007, sofosbuvir’s predominant metabolite, is renally eliminated and accumulates 5-fold...
This paper is aimed at the development of a biosensor for direct detection of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) surface antigen: envelope protein (E2). A recombinant LEL fragment of biological cell receptor CD81 and two short synthetic...
People attending drug treatment centres have a high burden of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and face barriers to diagnosis and treatment. Dried blood spot (DBS) testing has been proposed to simplify diagnosis, but many patients remain...

Outcomes in children and adolescents with recurrent or progressive high-grade glioma are poor, with a historical median overall survival of 5.6 months. Pediatric high-grade gliomas are largely immunologically silent or...
Optimal surveillance paradigms for survivors of early stage human papillomavirus (HPV)-related oropharyngeal cancer are not well defined. This study aimed to characterize patient interest in and factors associated with an...
The strongly scented genus Adenosma R. Brown (Plantaginaceae) comprises between 26 and 29 species with mainly southeast Asian distributions. Several species are used traditionally, mostly in Asian countries, for medicinal...
This study aimed to assess the efficacy of acupuncture in patients with herpes zoster (HZ) based on current randomized clinical trials (RCTs).Five databases were screened for RCTs published until August 2019. Studies that...
We aimed to evaluate the frequency and associated factors of baseline NS5A resistance-associated substitutions (RASs) in patients coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) monoinfection with...
Most uterine cervical high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infections are transient, with only a small fraction developing into cervical cancer. Family aggregation studies and heritability estimates suggest a significant...
