This document discusses hepatitis B and hepatitis C infections. It covers transmission risks, testing and diagnosis, disease progression, complications, global prevalence, and treatment approaches. Treatment goals include preventing disease progression, achieving sustained virologic response, and promoting compliance. Treatment options discussed include various antiviral medications and consideration of host and viral factors in determining appropriate therapy. Vaccination strategies are outlined for pre-exposure, post-exposure, and acute or chronic hepatitis B infection. Eligibility criteria and standard/newer treatment regimens are also summarized.
HIV Salvage Therapy (Holden Young - Roseman University of Health Sciences)HoldenYoung3
HIV is a virus that attacks the immune system and can lead to AIDS if untreated. Salvage therapy involves using alternative treatment options for patients with multidrug-resistant HIV after previous treatments have failed or resulted in incomplete viral suppression. Two potential salvage therapy drugs are fostemsavir and ibalizumab, which work by blocking HIV's attachment to CD4 cells. Clinical trials found that both drugs led to decreases in viral load when added to optimized background regimens in treatment-experienced patients with multidrug-resistant HIV. Salvage therapy aims to maximally suppress the virus or reduce it to the lowest level possible.

This document provides information about hepatitis B prevention and control. It discusses risk groups for hepatitis B, including parenteral drug users, homosexual men, and people who have close contact with infected individuals. Control measures include immunization, awareness campaigns, screening blood and blood products, and practicing good hygiene. Prevention involves hepatitis B vaccines and immunoglobulin. Hepatitis B vaccines are effective and provide long-term protection against the virus.
New Treatment Options for Hepatitis C in 2014Bradley Jobling
- New drugs have been developed that can cure Hepatitis C in the majority of patients, providing a significant improvement over previous treatments.
- Between 4-5 million Americans are infected with Hepatitis C, which can cause liver failure and cancer if left untreated. Many were infected decades ago through blood transfusions or intravenous drug use.
- Sofosbuvir was approved in 2013 and can cure Hepatitis C in 12 weeks when combined with ribavirin or interferon, offering cure rates over 90% and eliminating the need for interferon in some cases.
1) Around 1 in 4 people living with HIV are also coinfected with hepatitis C. Coinfection increases the risk of cirrhosis, liver failure, and death compared to hepatitis C alone.
2) New protease inhibitor drugs like Victrelis and Incivek have shown cure rates up to 79% for coinfected individuals, a major improvement over previous treatments. However, these new drugs are very expensive and can have severe side effects and drug interactions.
3) Treating the large number of coinfected individuals will be challenging for health departments and require improved coordination of HIV and hepatitis C care, as well as advocacy to expand access to expensive new treatments.
What the new hepatitis C protease inhibitors Incivek and Victrelis mean for people coinfected with HIV & HCV and for health departments. Presented at the NASTAD annual meeting 5/23/11.
The document discusses the different types of hepatitis viruses. It states that hepatitis A, B, and C are the most common types, which can be contracted through contaminated food/water or bodily fluids.

Managing cirrhotic HCV patients. Whom to treat, how to treat.2014Hivlife Info
Marc Bourlière, MD and Graham R. Foster, FRCP, PhD presented on managing cirrhotic HCV patients. They discussed which cirrhotic patients should be treated, how to treat them, and ensuring informed decision making. Patients with Child-Pugh A cirrhosis should be strongly advised to undergo therapy, while more advanced cases require careful consideration. New direct-acting antiviral regimens have increased sustained virologic response rates in cirrhotic patients, but they still face higher risks of side effects and disease progression if treatment is delayed. Physicians must fully inform patients of risks from both immediate treatment and deferring treatment to facilitate shared decision making.
Managing cirrhotic HCV patients. Whom to treat, how to treat.2014hivlifeinfo
Cirrhotic patients are the most in need of HCV treatment but also face challenges. Treatment is recommended for Child-Pugh A patients but more advanced cirrhosis requires caution. New drug combinations with direct-acting antivirals and pegylated interferon/ribavirin have increased sustained virologic response rates in cirrhotic patients, though they remain at risk for side effects and worsening liver function. Careful monitoring is needed when treating cirrhotic patients, especially those with significant risk factors like low platelet count or albumin level. Promising interferon-free regimens show high response rates even in prior treatment failures and may improve options for cirrhotic patients.

Boosted Protease Inhibitors. Current and Future Role in HIV Therapy.2014hivlifeinfo
The document discusses boosted protease inhibitors and their current and future role in HIV therapy. It provides an overview of boosted protease inhibitors, including their evolution from multiple pills per day to current once-daily single tablet regimens. It reviews clinical trial data supporting the use of atazanavir/ritonavir and darunavir/ritonavir as recommended first-line treatment options for treatment-naive patients.
Chair, Paul Kwo, MD, AGAF, FACG, FAASLD, prepared useful Practice Aids pertaining to hepatitis B for this CME/MOC activity titled “HBV Is Primary! Your Role in the ‘Call to Action’ to Eliminate Viral Hepatitis By 2030.” For the full presentation, downloadable Practice Aids, and complete CME/MOC information, and to apply for credit, please visit us at https://bit.ly/3EYVafQ. CME/MOC credit will be available until March 21, 2024.
The document provides information about hepatitis B virus (HBV) including its causes, transmission, signs and symptoms, prevention, and the differences between acute and chronic infection. Some key points:
- HBV is a serious liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus that can be either acute (less than 6 months) or chronic (lasting over 6 months, increasing risk of liver damage).
- It spreads through contact with infected blood and body fluids and can be prevented with vaccination.
- Symptoms range from mild to severe including abdominal pain, jaundice, fatigue and nausea. Chronic infection often has no symptoms.
- Having unprotected sex, sharing needles, needle sticks or being born to an infected
The challenge:
Cancer sucks. Many people suffer from cancer worldwide, but still a large part of the cancer treatments fail. This costs cancer patients lives and brings a large monetary cost to society as well. The challenge is that the effectiveness of cancer therapies can only be seen after weeks. Differences between people give rise to different reactions to therapies. Currently, a mix of drugs is given without knowing if they will work. To examine the effectiveness of drugs on individuals, we present the CTCPure.
The solution:
The CTCPure isolates and then characterizes circulating tumour cells from the human blood stream. By doing this characterization, a better prognosis and associated treatment can be done for each patient. Instead of determining treatments based on chance of success, treatment will be tailor made to each patient using the CTCPure. By doing this all on one chip, the process is cheap and fool-proof.
Comprehending Hepatitis B: Origins, Signs, Preventive measures, and Managementkkaif2906
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that primarily affects the liver. It is caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV), which can be transmitted through contact with infected blood, semen, or other bodily fluids. Hepatitis B can manifest as an acute or chronic condition, with symptoms including fatigue, fever, nausea, abdominal pain, and jaundice. Chronic Hepatitis B can lead to serious liver complications such as cirrhosis and liver cancer. Prevention strategies include vaccination, practicing safe sex, avoiding needle sharing, and screening pregnant women for HBV. While there is no cure for Hepatitis B, antiviral medications can help manage the infection and reduce the risk of complications. Regular monitoring is essential for individuals with chronic Hepatitis B to assess disease progression and determine the need for treatment adjustments.
1. The document describes four case studies used for small group discussion on the management of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) co-infection.
2. Case 1 involves a 52-year-old male who failed previous HCV therapy and relapsed. Case 2 describes a 76-year-old female who failed two prior HCV treatment attempts. Case 3 is about a 45-year-old female with diabetes and end-stage renal disease seeking HCV treatment.
3. The document provides guidance on pre-treatment assessment, physical exam findings suggestive of liver disease, optimal testing and immunization for HCV patients, and a proposed treatment protocol for HCV in Myanmar based on fibrosis staging and clinical presentation.
This document discusses hepatitis, specifically hepatitis B. It provides information on the following key points in 3 sentences:
Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver that is commonly caused by five types of viruses, most notably hepatitis B and C. Hepatitis B can be transmitted through contact with infected blood or bodily fluids or from mother to child during birth. Symptoms of hepatitis B may include fatigue, abdominal pain, jaundice, and nausea, though many people do not experience symptoms in the early stages of infection.
An 8-week regimen of sofosbuvir plus ledipasvir was found to be effective for many hepatitis C patients in real-world studies, even those who did not meet the official criteria for the shortened treatment. A review of five real-world studies involving over 600 patients found sustained viral response rates of 97% or higher with the 8-week regimen. The results provide reassurance that clinical trial results translate to real-world practice and suggest the criteria for the 8-week regimen could be expanded.
Hepatitis A, B, and C are viral infections that cause inflammation of the liver. Hepatitis A spreads through ingestion of contaminated food or water. Hepatitis B spreads through bodily fluids and can be sexually transmitted or spread by sharing needles. Hepatitis C primarily spreads through exposure to infected blood, such as sharing needles. While symptoms are usually mild and resolve on their own for Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B and C can become chronic infections requiring treatment to prevent further liver damage. Testing identifies exposure and active infections, and immunizations protect against Hepatitis A and B.

Harvoni and Alcohol Hepatitis C TreatmentsSunny Meredith
This document addresses common patient questions about drinking alcohol while taking Harvoni treatment. It states that while Harvoni and alcohol both process through the liver, they have very different effects. Harvoni treats HCV and protects the liver, while alcohol accelerates liver damage. The document warns that drinking during Harvoni treatment could be a terrible idea as alcohol undermines the medication's benefits.

Tips for Navigating Insurance Prior Authorizations for Hep C Cure
1. Last week I blogged about Harvoni, the new hepatitis C
wonder drug. Unfortunately, Harvoni’s price is creating
obstacles to hepatitis C treatment. Reacting to the cost of
Sovaldi and by extension, Harvoni, state Medicaid
programs and insurance companies are deny treatment to
most except those who have cirrhosis, or are nearly
cirrhotic with stage 3 fibrosis. Patients have been waiting
years, sometimes decades for hepatitis C drugs that will
cure them without practically killing them in the process.
Now they may have to wait even longer.
How do we justify this policy to Barb S who posted a
comment to my blog:
When on triple therapy, I was detectable at eight weeks
with a very low (300) viral count. Undetectable at 12
weeks, they decided to stop all drugs at 36 weeks instead
of 48. I questioned this deviation in protocol on several
occasions but was told the decision was based on the Dr.’s
experience with boceprevir. I’ve spent the last 2 years
wondering if the relapse was due to a lapse in protocol.
Naturally anxious to start hepatitis C treatment with
Harvoni, Barb contacted her GI clinic and received the
following rely:
We are still working out the details on how to effectively
treat those needing treatment in the most efficient way. If
you don’t hear from us in the next few months, call.
This is wrong on so many levels. I’ll save my discussion for
why it is wrong for another time, and concentrate on what
you can do about this.
