Hepatitis C Infection in World Trade Center Responders
Hepatitis C InfectionThis study provides Hepatitis C virus screening to the members of the World Trade Center Health Program followed at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai born during 1945-1965, and linkage to care for those found infected. The study will also determine if exposure to human remains, blood and/or bodily fluids during the World Trade Center Health Program activities are associated with Hepatitis C virus infection. These findings would be relevant to the larger United States population, especially to persons born during 1945-1965 who are at high risk of Hepatitis C virus infection.
Quality of Life Measurement in Treatment Naïve Patients With Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Genotype 1...
Chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)This is an observational, prospective, open-label, single-arm, multicenter, real-life study designed to observe the impact of paritaprevir/ritonavir/ombitasvir with dasabuvir regimen (Viekirax®/Exviera®, 3D regimen) on total daytime physical activity and fatigue in participants with HCV GT1.
Prediction Model Based on Computed Tomography Liver Volume for the Short-term Mortality in Hepatitis...
Acute-on-Chronic Liver FailureHepatitis B1 moreHBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) deteriorates rapidly with a high short-term mortality. Early identification and accurate prognostic prediction was critical to improve survival rate. This study was sought to determine the liver volumetry as predictor for short-term mortality in HBV-ACLF and develop a simpler prognostic model based on liver morphology. Liver volumetry were determined from CT at admission. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to identify the optimum prognostic indicators and develop prognostic model. Additionally, receiver operating characteristic curves were analyzed to evaluate the predictive ability of the model.
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.
Estimation of the Prevalence of HIV, Hepatitis C and Hepatitis B Infection Among Detainees in the...
HIV InfectionsHepatitis C1 morePeople in Administrative Detention Centers often come from areas of medium or high HIV, hepatitis C & B endemic, and are often unaware of their serological status. Currently, HIV, hepatitis C & B screening is not systematically performed at the CRA of Nîmes, and when performed, serological tests are used. The main disadvantage of this method is the length of time it takes to obtain the results, with subjects frequently discharged before receiving their results. To improve the care of these vulnerable persons, the aim of this study is to estimate the prevalence of HIV, hepatitis C and hepatitis B in the detainees of the administrative detention center of Nîmes, by systematically screening with a rapid diagnosis test. In case of a positive rapid diagnosis test test, a serology test will confirm the rapid diagnosis test result.
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.
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.
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.
