Estimation of hepatitis B (HBV) viral load (VL) is critical in hepatitis-B cascade-of-care and at present there is no point of care (POC) molecular assay available for the same. This study evaluated the performance of a new near...
Occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (OBI) is associated with transfusion-transmitted HBV infection and hepatocellular carcinoma. Studies on OBI genesis concentrated on mutations in the S region and the regulatory elements....
Currently, treatment of chronic hepatitis C is based on a combination of direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) which achieve HCV clearance in more than 95% of patients. Despite this high rate of cure, treatment failures can...
Alcoholic hepatitis (AH) is characterized by high morbidity and mortality. MicroRNA-494-3p is possibly involved in the regulation of cancers, but its role in AH has been rarely studied.AH mice model and primarily cultured mice...
Infection with herpes simplex virus (HSV) typically causes limited oral and genital symptoms, however HSV can also affect the larynx and result in severe aerodigestive symptoms. Due to the rarity of HSV laryngitis, the symptoms...
To assess the impact of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in women on In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) outcomes.An observational monocentric case-control cohort study conducted between 2012 and 2019 compared the outcomes of the...
Natural history of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in the head and neck region is poorly understood, and their impact on collective HPV-specific immunity is not known.In this study, we have performed a systematic analysis...
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the primary cause of cervical cancer. In 2018, the World Health Organization (WHO) Director General announced his commitment to eliminate cervical cancer, with HPV vaccination as a...
High-level disinfection protects tens-of-millions of patients from the transmission of viruses on reusable medical devices. The efficacy of high-level disinfectants for preventing human papillomavirus (HPV) transmission has been...
An increasing number of hepatitis E virus (HEV) infections in industrialized countries have been foodborne and linked to the consumption of undercooked pork products. To date, data on the prevalence of HEV in pork products sold...
Spontaneous regression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a rare condition. However, although there have been multiple reports of spontaneous regression, the definitive pathogenic mechanism of this phenomenon is still...
We generated an Immuno-Clinic score (ICS) model to evaluate T cell immunity based on the clustering of antiviral cytokines and inhibitory molecules in 229 naïve chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. 126 patients receiving...
