Clinical reports and descriptions of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and chronic ciguatera fish poisoning (CCFP) show great similarities in clinical symptomology. These similarities in the literature suggested the exploration of lipids in sera of CFS, CCFP, and other diseases with the membrane
BACKGROUND
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a serious and prevalent disease which may negatively influence health related quality of life (HRQOL) and fatigue. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between demographic variables, HRQOL, and fatigue.
METHODS
A cross-sectional study
BACKGROUND
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) that defines by prolonged fatigue and other manifestations, was recently integrated into a spectrum of central sensitivity syndromes including several diseases as fibromylagia. CFS etiology is multi-factorial commonly triggered by infectious agents.
Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of psychiatric morbidity, fatigue, stigma and quality of life (QOL) of patients with hepatitis B infection. Additional aim of the study was to evaluate the correlates of psychiatric
OBJECTIVE
Even though various experimental therapeutic approaches for chronic hepatitis B infection have been reported, few of them have been verified by clinical trials. We have developed an antigen-antibody (HBsAg-HBIG) immunogenic complex therapeutic vaccine candidate with alum as adjuvant (YIC),
Vaccinating infants against hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the most effective way of preventing the disease. However, since HBV exposure can increase during adolescence, it is essential that antibody persistence is maintained. We evaluated the antibody persistence and immune memory against hepatitis B,
BACKGROUND
Telbivudine (LdT) is an L-nucleoside that is structurally related to lamivudine. It is highly selective for hepatitis B virus (HBV) and inhibits viral DNA synthesis. LdT was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration on October 25, 2006, for the treatment of chronic HBV infection in
This study was conducted to understand the symptomatology, attitudes, and behaviours of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients in the USA. CHB patients enrolled in this study were recruited through multiple methods, including newspaper advertisements. Interviews were conducted in multiple languages, and
We conducted a prospective, randomized trial to study the efficacy and tolerance of long-term versus short-term treatment with recombinant interferon alfa-2a in patients with chronic hepatitis B. Ten patients were randomly assigned to a 6-month interferon regimen, and 10 patients were assigned to a
We report on a 19-year-old male patient with chronic HBeAg-positive hepatitis B-infection and agranulocytosis as a severe side effect of pegylated interferon alpha therapy. Within the first six months of therapy the hepatitis B virus DNA became undetectable in parallel with a significant decrease of
Entecavir (Baraclude®) is an oral antiviral drug used for the treatment of HBV. Entecavir is a reverse transcriptase inhibitor which prevents the HBV from multiplying. Most common adverse reactions caused by entecavir are headache, fatigue, dizziness, and nausea. Until now, there has been no report
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation associated with radiotherapy is rare. The present study reports the case of a 46-year-old man that experienced fatal HBV reactivation. The patient suffered from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein tumor thrombus, which was treated by radiotherapy at a
BACKGROUND
Because drug-resistant strains of hepatitis B virus (HBV) have developed, and because serum HBV-DNA levels may rebound in patients who receive treatment with nucleoside/nucleotide analogues for up to 2 years, there remains a largely unmet clinical need for agents to induce potent
A 42-year-old female who was an asymptomatic carrier of hepatitis B virus (HBV) was diagnosed with antineutrophil cytoplasm antibody- (ANCA-) associated vasculitis and was induced to remission with 30 mg/day prednisolone nine years ago. Four years ago, she suffered recurrence of ANCA-associated
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate outcomes of yttrium-90 radioembolization performed with glass-based microspheres in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) secondary to the hepatitis B virus (HBV).
METHODS
A total of 675 patients treated between January 2006 and July 2014 were reviewed, of which 45
