Objectives: Hepatitis A incidence in Korea has dramatically increased in recent years. Individuals in their twenties and thirties, who account for majority of the workforce in Korea, are particularly susceptible to infection owing to a low seroprevalence of
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to know the prevalence of previous infection markers for hepatitis A and B viruses in a pediatric-juvenile population from Gijón, Spain.
METHODS
A representative (according to the census) transversal randomized sample of a population from 6 to 25 years in age
The immune reaction following vaccination against viral hepatitis A (HAV) and viral hepatitis B (HBV) can be influenced by a variety of factors. Among the most important are age, gender and body weight.
OBJECTIVE
This prospective randomized study compared immunogenicity of available vaccines against
Formalin-inactivated, alum-adsorbed, hepatitis A vaccine was evaluated in 100 healthy adults who were stratified at enrollment into two age groups: 18-39 years: n = 50; 40-65 years: n = 50. All individuals received vaccine at 25 U of viral antigen. After stratification, both groups were randomized
We previously observed 80.7% seropositivity and a significant interaction between gender and hepatitis A virus (HAV) vaccine type (Havrix vs. Epaxal) on the seropositivity approximately 11 months after single-dose HAV vaccinations in Korean young adults. Our objective was to evaluate seropositivity
Plasma-derived vaccines and yeast-derived recombinant vaccines against hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection have gained an acceptable record of efficacy. However, non- or hyporesponsiveness to immunization does not only occur in cases of obesity, renal failure or immune suppression, but also in healthy
OBJECTIVE
Assessing the immunogenicity of a single dose of hepatitis A virus (HAV) vaccines is important because some people receive only a single dose. However, previous studies have shown variable results and have not examined the effects of demographic characteristics other than gender. This
The aim of this study was to know the prevalence of hepatitis A, B and C markers in an adult population in Gijón, Spain. A randomized, transversal sample according to the census was made in a population between 26 and 65 years of age in Gijón, analyzing demographic, epidemiologic and clinical
BACKGROUND
Preoperative clinical and biochemical data and intraoperative liver biopsy of 1,000 obese patients submitted to biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) were analyzed, and correlations investigated.
METHODS
Of 2,645 patients submitted to BPD between May 1976 and November 2002, the last 1,000
OBJECTIVE
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with obesity and affects roughly 10% of children. However, NAFLD is often diagnosed by exclusion - that is, obese children with an elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) are screened for other liver diseases in the absence of a
Viral infections have been associated with the aetiology of obesity in animal models. This study investigates the association between 7 serological markers of infections and body mass index (BMI) in a population based sample. Individuals (n=985, mean age 42+/-97 (28-55) y, mean BMI 25.594.2) from
To compare the early biochemical response and rate of adverse effects in patients who received prednisolone (PRED)/azathioprine (AZA) and those who received budesonide (BUD)/AZA as the first-line treatment for autoimmune hepatitis.The study involved 25 Calciphylaxis is a form of vascular calcification more commonly associated with renal disease. While the exact mechanism of calciphylaxis is poorly understood, most cases are due to end stage kidney disease. However, it can also be found in patients without kidney disease and in such Cardiac and circulatory failure are the main causes of hypoxic hepatitis. In a prospective study of 142 cases of hypoxic hepatitis collected during a 10-year period, we encountered two cases resulting from extreme arterial hypoxemia without congestive heart failure, cor pulmonale, or circulatory
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the prevalence and clinical characteristics of Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) among asymptomatic Brazilian adolescents.
METHODS
Transversal observational study included asymptomatic adolescents with central obesity from private and public schools in Salvador-Bahia,
