Seroprevalence Hepatitis E Infection in Healthy Blood Donors
Hepatitis EThis is a HEV seroprevalence in the health donors in the Canton Ticino study. The pre-donation sampling pouch of each blood donor coming form the Cantone Ticino region will be collected and tested for HEV serology (IgM and IgG).

Change of Glucose Metabolism and Fibrosis Markers in Patients With Hepatitis C Under Treatment With...
Glucose Metabolism DisordersLiver Fibrosis1 moreChronic hepatitis C infection is associated with changes of glucose metabolism end increased frequency of impaired glucose tolerance. This might be a additional risk factor for disease and fibrosis progression. The study aims to evaluate whether a therapy with direct-acting antiviral agents leading to a sustained virologic response directly impacts parameters reflecting glucose metabolism and fibrosis.

Prophylactic Treatment of Hepatic Dysplastic Nodules in HBsAg Positive Patients
Dysplastic Nodule of LiverChronic Hepatitis BThe aim of this study is to determine that for hepatic dysplastic nodules in patients with chronic hepatitis B, instead of enhanced follow-up, whether early minimally-invasive ablation therapy can reduce the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Factors Influencing Hepatitis B Virus Reactivation in Lymphoma Patients Treated With Rituximab
Patients With Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma or Follicular LymphomaPatients Treated With Rituximab-CHOP or Rituximab-CVPThis study is a retrospective analysis to identify factors influencing hepatitis B virus reactivation in patients treated with rituximab containing chemotherapy. Rituximab monoclonal antibody targeting CD20 induces B-cell depletion resulting in prolonged immune suppression. This leads to frequent reactivation of patients with a previous history of exposure to HBV or HBV carrier. We collect the clinical features and laboratory findings of patients satisfied the inclusion criteria as follows. Patients diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or \ follicular B-cell lymphoma (FL). Patients who had received at least two cycles of rituximab-CHOP or rituximab-CVP as a primary treatment Patients with a history of previous exposure to HBV HBV surface antigen (HBs Ag) positive Or HBV core antibody (IgG anti-HBc antibody) positive Then, we compare the HBV reactivation group with the control group (HBV reactivation does not happen) to find factors influencing HBV reactivation.

Treatment on HBeAg Positive or HBeAg Negative in Chronic Hepatitis B
CHRONIC HEPATITIS BPhyllanthus Urinaria - Adenosma Glutinosum - Eclipta Prostrata - Ascorbic Acid combination plus Tenofovir in treatment of acute and chronic hepatitis B. Method the combination of drugs derived from natural and artificial medicaments. Has stronger effect on immune system, effective good against HBV replication. This is a substantial new insight into the pathogenesis of disease, with a clear path toward clinical application, or which would lead to a substantial advance and perfect in management or public health policy.

Acoustic Liver Biopsy in Normals and in Patients With Cirrhosis Using Endoscopic Ultrasound
AlcoholismCirrhosis1 moreThe purpose of this study is to determine the amount of fibrosis in the liver of hepatitis C patients with advanced fibrosis, using endoscopic ultrasound.

Surveillance Study to Determine the Trends in Acute Hepatitis A Among Panamanian Children
Acute Hepatitis AHepatitisThe purpose of this study is to collect epidemiological and clinical data to assess the vaccine impact and occurrence of confirmed acute hepatitis A cases in sentinel hospitals after the introduction of Havrix™ into the Expanded Program of Immunization.

Risk of Hepatitis B Reactivation After Bone Marrow Transplantation With Prior Hepatitis B Virus...
Exposure to Hepatitis B VirusThe purpose of this study is to determine whether preemptive nucleoside analogue therapy or regular virologic monitoring is the preferred method in management patients with prior exposure to hepatitis B vius (HBV) and undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).

Prognostic Indicators as Provided by the EPIC ClearView
Coronary Artery DiseaseCongestive Heart Failure26 moreThe objective of this study is to determine whether the finger tip images captured by the EPIC ClearView device, when analyzed via the ClearView software, produce a Response Scale that characterizes trends consistent with known diagnoses identified by medical doctors. Specifically, the investigators hypothesize that the organ system involving any of a series of known active diagnoses will be identified in the EPIC ClearView Response Scale report with the intention of providing potential triage capabilities.

Three-year Follow-up Study of Subjects Who Participated in a Previous Lambda (BMS-914143) Chronic...
Hepatitis CThe primary purpose of this study is to determine whether the hepatitis C virus continues to remain unable to be detected in subjects who were previously treated with BMS-914143 and achieved sustained virologic response
