Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver that can be caused by several viruses, including Hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. Hepatitis A causes an acute form of hepatitis without chronic infection and is transmitted through the fecal-oral route. Hepatitis B can cause both acute and chronic infections and is transmitted through blood and bodily fluids. Hepatitis C often causes no symptoms initially but persists in the liver in 75-85% of cases and is transmitted through blood. Hepatitis D can only infect in the presence of Hepatitis B and results in more severe complications. Hepatitis E has a fecal-oral transmission and occasionally develops into an acute, severe liver disease fatal in about 2% of cases, especially
Hepatitis
Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver that is usually caused by a viral infection or liver damage from alcohol, drugs, or autoimmune disease. There are several types of hepatitis defined by different viruses or causes. Viral hepatitis types include hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E which are transmitted through food/water (A), blood/body fluids (B, C, D), or water (E). The viruses enter the liver and replicate, triggering an immune response that causes liver inflammation and damage. This can lead to both acute and chronic liver disease depending on the virus type and individual factors. Chronic hepatitis infection can further progress to complications like cirrhosis and liver cancer if not treated.
There are Five Main Types of Viral Hepatitis (Generic Harvoni)
Hepatitis C is a liver infection that can range from mild to chronic, caused by contact with an infected person's blood. It is diagnosed through blood tests and while treatment with antiviral medication can cure it, chronic hepatitis C can severely damage the liver over time if left untreated. There is currently no vaccination for this condition.

Hepatitis C is a disease of the liver caused by the hepatitis C virus, which can lead to chronic infection in 60-70% of cases and cause cirrhosis in a small percentage over time. The patient's symptoms and blood test results indicate she has hepatitis C infection.
Obesity and anorex
Obesity is defined as having 20% more weight than others of the same age, sex and height. It is considered a health issue that increases the risk of diseases like cardiovascular disease, hypertension and stroke which are twice as common in obese individuals compared to those of normal weight. Anorexia is used as a medical term to describe loss of appetite but can occur in many diseases. Anorexia nervosa, however, is a disease characterized by self-induced weight loss accompanied by a distorted body image that can seriously impact a sufferer's health. There are two types of anorexia nervosa according to the DSM.
Hepatitis c
Hepatitis C is a virus that attacks the liver and often shows no symptoms. It is transmitted through infected blood, such as from shared needles or unsafe medical procedures before 1992. Those at highest risk include people who inject drugs or received infected blood transfusions. Screening is recommended for high-risk patients to determine infection status and severity of liver damage. Treatment involves antiviral medications intended to clear the virus, which may require multiple rounds and can cause side effects. For severe liver damage, transplantation may be necessary but the infection can recur.

Presentation on cirrhosis by elaheh.pdf
Cirrhosis is scarring of the liver caused by long-term liver damage and injury. It can be caused by excessive alcohol consumption over many years, viral hepatitis infections like hepatitis B and C, metabolic diseases like fatty liver disease, and certain autoimmune conditions. Common symptoms include fatigue, abdominal pain, jaundice, easy bruising, and fluid accumulation in the abdomen. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and severity of liver damage, but may include lifestyle changes, medications, and liver transplantation for severe cirrhosis.
Presentation on cirrhosis by elaheh.pdf
Cirrhosis is scarring of the liver caused by long-term liver damage and injury. It is the late stage of liver disease where regeneration of liver tissue is unable to keep up with damage. Common causes include viral hepatitis, excessive alcohol consumption, and metabolic/autoimmune conditions. Symptoms range from fatigue to liver failure. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and stage of disease, and may include lifestyle changes, medication, or liver transplantation.
Hepatitis A Virus
•Hepatitis A is an acute infectious disease caused by Hepatitis A virus
•It is formerly known as infectious hepatitis or epidemic jaundice
Hepatitis ppt
The document discusses hepatitis, an inflammatory condition of the liver. It defines hepatitis and outlines its various causes such as viruses, alcohol, drugs, toxins, and autoimmune responses. It then describes the different types of viral hepatitis (A, B, C, D, E) and non-viral hepatitis. For each type, it discusses etiology, risk factors, transmission, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management. It also covers complications of hepatitis, vaccines for prevention, and concludes with discussing a research study on knowledge and practices around hepatitis B among medical students.
Viral hepatitis
Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver that is usually caused by a viral infection. There are 5 main types of viral hepatitis: A, B, C, D, and E. Hepatitis A and E are typically transmitted through ingestion of contaminated food or water. Hepatitis B, C and D can be transmitted through contact with infected blood or bodily fluids. While hepatitis A only causes a short-term illness, hepatitis B and C can develop into chronic conditions that lead to serious liver problems like cirrhosis and cancer. Laboratory tests are used to diagnose hepatitis and detect the specific virus, and nursing care focuses on rest, diet, medication management, and health education to prevent transmission and complications.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Hepatitis C - Transmission and Symptoms
- 1. HEPATITIS C - TRANSMISSION AND SYMPTOMS Ellen Scharaga
- 2. Introduction Ellen Scharaga, who resides in Melville, NY, has worked in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry for about three decades. She currently serves as an operational consultant at Alegria Specialty Pharmacy. Ellen Scharaga helps to develop specialty medications for the treatment of Hepatitis C and other chronic conditions. Hepatitis C is a condition characterized by the inflammation of the liver. It results from infection with one of a number of hepatitis viruses. Acute hepatitis C sometimes clears on its own. Otherwise, patients respond to timely treatment. Left untreated, acute hepatitis may transition to the chronic form of the disease. The disease can be transmitted through needles, blood transfusions, and unprotected sex with an infected person. Most people with the disease experience no symptoms. Those who have symptoms may experience fatigue, joint pain, tenderness in the area near the liver, or nausea. Patients with more severe forms of the disease may notice symptoms such as dark urine, abdominal swelling, itching, and weight loss. The treatment of hepatitis C involves the administration of antiviral medications for 24 weeks or 48 weeks.
