BACKGROUND GB virus C (GBV-C) or hepatitis G virus (HGV) is a newly discovered and enveloped RNA positive-stranded flavivirus-like particle, which has not yet been proven to have major negative effects on liver. OBJECTIVES Increasing the risk of blood-borne infections in hemodialysis patients is a main health care concern in different countries. Therefore, it is important to estimate the prev...

conclusions overall, 4.3% of patients had positive results for gbv-c/hgv and all negative for hiv, hcv and hbv. further studies are needed to elucidate real prevalence, risk factors and characteristics of hgv infection in iranian hemodialysis patients. results in total, 81 males and 57 females were included. the mean age of patients was 62.16 ± 14.86 years. six (4.3%) had positive results for g...

Hydrogen bonds (HBs) play an important role in the rotational dynamics of organic cations hybrid organic/inorganic halide perovskites, thus affecting structural and electronic properties perovskites. However, even existence HBs these perovskites are not well established. In this study, we investigate MAPbBr3 (MA+ = CH3NH3+), FAPbI3 (FA+ CH(NH2)2+), their solid solution with composition (FAPbI3)...

introduction : regular blood transfusions for patients with thalassemia major have improved their overall survival, but carry a definite risk of being infected with blood born viruses especially hepatitis b and c. nowadays, it has remained as main health concern about these patients. in this study, we tried to define the prevalence rate of hepatitis b and c and survey the related risk factors a...

BACKGROUND The risk of infection with transfusion-transmitted viruses, such as Hepatitis B virus (HBV), has been reduced markedly. However, a zero-risk blood supply remains a popular goal. Anti-hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc) is considered to be an effective marker for occult HBV infection, and it has served a significant role in improving blood safety. The purpose of this study was to dete...
