Treatment of chronic hepatitis B with pattern recognition receptor agonists: Current status and potential for a cure JinhongChang,Ju-TaoGuo, inAntiviral Research, 2015 Abstract Hepatitis B virus(HBV) has been considered to be a “stealth virus” that induces negligible innate immune responses during...
Delivering a birth dose requires special programmatic measures and coordination between immunization and maternal health services. In many resource-poor countries, home births are common. Efforts to develop new heat-stable and freeze-stable hepatitis B vaccines are underway to support innovative outreach ...
Standard therapies for chronic HBV infection and hepatitis B are limited. Although research on specific nutritional strategies for HBV infection is not as broad as for hepatitis C (HCV) infection, evidence suggests that natural compounds can be of benefit for both conditions. ...
There is also discussion of special groups that require particular consideration and some of the open research questions and future research directions within the field.doi:10.1007/s11684-014-0335-1Jonathan SkupskyKeQin HuFrontiers of Medicine
The treatment recommendations from the 2005 Asian-Pacific Consensus Statement on the Management of Chronic Hepatitis B have been updated to incorporate these new therapeutic options. A summary of treatment recommendations for special patient populations is also included. 2006 Blackwell Munksgaard....
The hepatitis B vaccine has been linked to neurological disorders, multiple sclerosis, and death. In spite of medical denials, research indicates a likely connection.
(Supplementary Fig.S7b)47. These results are consistent with previous research. Genotype I was modeled as a recombinant derived from subgenotypes A and C (Supplementary dataS5). We did not detect recombination events in ancient HBV of genotype B from around 1000 years ago (Supplementary dataS6...

20 Therefore current routine clinical assays do not discriminate between antibodies specific for any of the 3 surface proteins and are reported as anti-hepatitis B surface antibodies (HBsAb).21 HBsAb have been a focus of intense research ever since the early discovery of HBV, given their ...
