A Controlled Prospective Study of Transfusion-Associated Hepatitis
HepatitisThis protocol represents a continuation of a series of prospective studies to define the incidence and etiology of transfusion-associated hepatitis (TAH) and to examine the impact on TAH of various modifications in the selection of blood donors. The primary goal of the study will be to determine TAH incidence after the institution of a variety of interventive measures to exclude hepatitis and AIDS virus carriers: including surrogate assays (ALT, anti-HBc), a specific assay for the hepatitis C virus (HCV), a specific assay for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and intensified donor questioning for high-risk behavior patterns. There is high probability that the exclusion of donors at high risk for AIDS transmission will also exclude donors at high risk for hepatitis transmission. Incidence data obtained in the study will be enhanced by the simultaneous follow-up of a control population undergoing identical surgical procedures, but receiving no blood or only autologous blood. This control population, made possible by the recent dramatic increase in the amount of autologous blood utilized, will allow for a clear distinction between transfusion-associated hepatitis and that due to nosocomial transmission or other background causes of hepatocellular inflammation in cardiac surgery patients.
Anticipated and Perceived Benefits Following Hepatitis C Treatment
Hepatitis CHepatitis C1 moreThe study is both qualitative and quantitative, gathering patient's perceptions of HCV treatment benefits before and after HCV treatment by administering surveys and conducting in-depth qualitative patient interviews. The study seeks to understand all anticipated and actual benefits patients perceive before and after viral eradication.
Autoimmune Hepatitis in Pediatric Patients
Autoimmune HepatitisAutoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is an immune-mediated and inflammatory liver disorder. It is currently divided into types 1 and 2, differentiated and defined by the presence of specific autoantibodies. The objectives are to describe the prevalence and incidence of type 1 and 2 autoimmune hepatitis and to analyze the clinics, biochemical and histopathological profiles at diagnosis and follow-up, initial therapy, response to therapy and long-term follow-up in three Italian centers of patients with type 1 and type 2 AIH.

Does Hepatitis C Management Protect Egyptian Population Against Severe Corona Virus Disease-2019?...
Corona Virus InfectionHepatitisModulation of the renin angiotensin system by the chronic hepatitis C virus treatment either by (Daclatasvir and Sofosbuvir), (Daclatasvir and Sofosbuvir plus Ribavirin), or (Ribavirin and Interferon) protocols could give an explanation for the low incidence of COVID-19 among Egyptian population. Adding it may play a role in COVID 19 prophylaxis.
