Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hepatitis B continues to be a worldwide public health problem of major proportions, with over 10% of people in heavily populated endemic areas being chronic carriers of the virus. Enormous strides have been made in understanding the biology of HBV and in management. Overwhelming evidence demonstrates that long-term suppression of viral replication may prevent the dreaded long-term outcomes of this disease. Increasing numbers of drugs that can achieve this goal, without the high risk of emergent viral resistance that characterized treatment as recently as 5 years ago, are available and more will follow, but controversies abound about the most effective manner in which to use these agents and about which patients should be treated. Many experts believe we are moving into an era in which the spectrum of patients who we consider treatment candidates is expanding. A volume on our present understanding about the biology and immunology of HBV, along with a critical analysis of the complex therapeutic issues is most timely.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A recent Institute of Medicine report has concluded that "there is a lack of knowledge and awareness about chronic viral hepatitis on the part of health-care and social-service providers, as well as among at-risk populations, members of the public, and policy-makers. Due to the insufficient understanding about the extent and seriousness of this public-health problem, inadequate public resources are being allocated to prevention, control, and surveillance programs". It is with these concerns in mind that Dr. Tsai assembled a group of experts in this field to present their expertise in such a level, where the practicing clinicians who deal with this disease in their daily practice can understand thereby implement this knowledge into their own practice. Dr. Brian McMahon discusses the natural history of chronic hepatitis B with his vast knowledge and experience working with the high endemic population of Inuit in Alaska; Drs. Marc Ghany and Ed provide a very easy-to-understand description of HBV virology; Dr. Kyon-Mi Chang contributes an article on HBV immunology, which is the least understood area of this disease but has the most potential to improve our knowledge in the management of chronic hepatitis B; Dr. Anna Lok provides an authoritative review on the current issues and controversies of treatment of chronic hepatitis B; Dr. Stephen Locarnini, who has extensive experience in anti-viral resistance and its management, presents important issues in the usage of currently available anti-viral oral agents; Dr. Myron Tong discusses the current understanding of HBV carcinogenesis and updates HCC surveillance and treatment-- the most dreadful outcome of this disease; Dr. Paul Martin discusses management of end- stage chronic hepatitis B -anti-viral therapy, montherapy vs combo.therapy, choice of agent, when to start therapy and post-transplant patients including duration of HBIG therapy, HBcAb(+)only recipient) and Occult HBV infection; Dr. Tram Tran discuss the treatment in reproductive women, during pregnancy, and prevention of vertical transmission in third trimester with antiviral agents-- an area with significant lack of good clinical evidence; Dr. Steve Han discuss management of patients with acute hepatitis B, co-infection with HDV/HCV/HIV, pre-immuno-suppressive therapy, and management of renal and heart transplant patients with HBV infection; Dr. Mei Huei Chang discusses Taiwanese success in implementing universal vaccination leading to a remarkable reduction in both prevalence of chronic hepatitis B and incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma; and finally Drs. Michelle Lai and Yun Fan Liaw provide a rundown of what we have accomplished and the hope for the future in our fight to control this disease.

This book was released on 2024-01-22 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Human Hepatitis D virus (HDV) is one of the smallest human RNA viruses (22 nm), characterized by the peculiarity to require Hepatitis B virus (HBV) for its replication. Indeed, HDV utilizes HBV surface glycoprotein (HBsAg) for viral entry, assembly and release, implying the need for a intrahepatic transcriptionally active HBV to ensure HDV replication. Chronic HBV/HDV coinfection is associated with a high risk of developing liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma within 5–10 years, resulting in high fatality rate. Recent estimates suggest that 9-60 million individuals may be infected with HDV worldwide. However, these fluctuating estimates highlight a huge uncertainty about the real prevalence of HDV infection, mostly related to the lack of robust data on large populations of HBsAg positive patients undergoing HDV screening. This highlights the need of accurate screening programs that finely trace the circulation of HDV.
