01 Hepatitis B(combined)

چکیده
Factor VII deficiency is a rare congenital blood disorder. Its clinical features are rather variable and ranges from epistaxis to massive intracranial haemorrhage. Treatment involves replacement therapy, which constitutes use of fresh frozen plasma, prothrombin complex concentrates or recombinant activated factor VII. Although it is a rare entity, one still needs to consider it as a probable diagnosis in a newborn with coagulopathy. We report here a case of Factor VII deficiency in a newborn who presented with subdural haemorrhage at day 4 of life.

A novel variant marking HLA-DP expression levels predicts recovery from hepatitis B virus infection.
Variants near the HLA-DP gene show the strongest genome-wide association with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and HBV recovery/persistence in Asians. To test the effect of the HLA-DP region on outcomes to HBV infection, we sequenced the polymorphic HLA-DPB1 and DPA1 coding exons and the corresponding 3' untranslated regions (3'UTRs) in 662 individuals of European-American and African-...
متن کاملA Novel Algorithm for Accurate Diagnosis of Hepatitis B and Its Severity
Background and Objectives: Accurate detection of type and severity of Hepatitis is crucial for effective treatment of the disease. While several computational algorithms for detection of Hepatitis have been proposed to date, their limited performance leaves room for further improvement. This paper proposes a novel computational method for the diagnosis of Hepatitis B using pattern detection tec...
متن کاملTryptic cleavage of antibody binding sites from hepatitis B surface antigen particles.
The sedimentation of radiolabelled 22 nm hepatitis B surface antigen particles was unaffected by treatment with either trypsin or SDS alone, but combined treatment disrupted the particulate nature of the radiolabelled material. Considerable antibody binding activity by the group-specific determinant (a) was preserved after combined SDS and trypsin treatment but was released from the bulk of the...
متن کاملSignificance of Hepatitis B Core Antibody as the Only Marker of Hepatitis B Virus Infection in High Risk Patients
Background and Objective: Presence of hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) in the absence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) is defined, as isolated anti-HBc. little is known about the clinical significance of the isolated anti-HBc in hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections. The aim of this study was to assess the significance of anti-HBc as the onl...
متن کاملExpression of Human Cytokine Genes Associated with Chronic Hepatitis B Disease Progression
Background: Hepatitis viruses are non-cytopathic viruses that lead to the infection and pathogenesis of liver diseases as a result of immunologically mediated event. Objective: To investigate the expression of human inflammatory cytokines in chronic hepatitis B patients according to the severity of the infection. Methods: We recruited a total of 120 patients, 40 of whom from cirrhotic, 40 non-c...
متن کاملVitiligo Complicating chronic Hepatitis B patients treated with α-Interferon (Report of two cases)
α-Interferon is an antiviral agent used in treatment of chronic hepatitis B. Triggering of the underlying autoimmune disease or exacerbation of pre-existing auto immune disease is documented with α-interferon, but there are few reports about occurrence of autoimmune disorders such as systemic lupus erythematosus, Vitiligo, hypo and hyperthyroidism after administration of α-interferon in the lit...
