Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFactors Affecting the Response to Interferon Alpha Therapy in Egyptian HCV PatientsNaglaa F. Alhusseini, Fathy M. Serry, Ashraf A. Kadry, Heba KhairyHepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection is one of the main causes of chronic liver disease worldwide. Egypt has the highest prevalence of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) in the world, estimated nationally at 14.7%. knowledge of the predictors of Sustained Viral Response (SVR) to Pegylated Interferon (PEG-INF) and Ribavirin (RBV) therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C is crucial for selecting … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2015 · 6,619 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDetection of HCV Components and Pathological Reactions in Apoptotic Hepatocytes from Chronically HCV-infected PatientsViviana Falcón, Nelson Acosta-Rivero, Mineko Shibayama et al.Analysis of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)-infected hepatocytes at the cellular level may contribute to elucidate the mechanisms of HCV pathogenesis. In this work, the presence of HCV components and pathological reactions in apoptotic hepatocytes from chronic HCV-infected patients were studied by electron microscopy and confocal microscopy. Eight samples of liver biopsies from patients with chronic hepatitis C were studied by … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,907 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe HCV Replicase InteractomeAntonio Mas, Pilar Clemente-Casares, Eugenio Ramírez, Rosario SabariegosViruses are obligate parasites and can only reproduce within host cells because they lack metabolic pathways to complete their replication cycles. Host factors required in viral replication are mainly those involved in lipid metabolism, cell cycle control and apoptosis, cell-to-cell interactions, immune system regulation, etc. Several inhibitors targeting viral polymerases have been designed. However, the rapid appearance of resistant mutants, … …Current Research in Virology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 27 Jul 2016 · 13,210 accessesView PDFCite

Recently, direct Acting Anti-viral Drugs (DAA) have been endorsed as standard of care for treatment for HCV. To study the HRQL in patients with HCV and cirrhosis before and after DAA. Study design: Prospective cohort hospital based study. We included 500 patients with HCV … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 29 Apr 2020 · 7,145 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEpigenetic Mechanisms in Hepatitis C Virus-Associated Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Potential New Link Between Stem Cells, Virology and CancerQinghua Feng, Sajida Hassan, Trina Das et al.Recent studies suggest that epigenetic mechanisms are not only essential for the dynamic transcriptional regulation in embryonic and somatic stem cells, but are also actively involved in tumorigenesis: genes important for pluripotency are epigenetically regulated and aberrant epigenetic changes have been detected in virtually all human malignancies studied, including Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). Infection with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is a … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2013 · 8,038 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMiliary Tuberculosis: A Case ReportZhinous Bayat Makoo, Roshanak Bayat Makoo, Omid MashrabiProblem statement: During the last years it is more than evident that the prevalence of pulmonary and extrapulmonary Tuberculosis (TB), mainly in western European countries, has risen significantly. The aetiology of this phenomenon is multifactorial. Miliary tuberculosis is a form of tuberculosis that is characterized by millet-like seeding of TB bacilli in the lung, as evidenced on chest radiography.
