Hepatitis refers to an inflammatory condition of the liver. It’s commonly caused by a viral infection, but there are other possible causes of hepatitis. These include autoimmune hepatitis and hepatitis that occurs as a secondary result of medications, drugs, toxins, and alcohol. Autoimmune hepatitis is a disease that occurs when your body makes antibodies against your liver tissue.
World Hepatitis Day 2015: Hepatitis prevention
This document discusses hepatitis prevention and the burden of hepatitis globally and in Sri Lanka. Some key points:
- Globally, 400 million people live with chronic hepatitis B or C, causing over 1.4 million deaths per year. Chronic hepatitis B prevalence is highest in East Asia and Africa, while HCV prevalence is high in Central/East Asia and North Africa.
- In Sri Lanka, over 7,000 hepatitis cases were reported from 2010-2014, with over half occurring in 4 districts. The disease affects males more than females and incidence increases with age. Overall HBV and HCV seroprevalence is low (<2% and <1%).

Hepatitis A is a viral liver disease transmitted through ingestion of contaminated food, water, or direct contact. It affects over 1.4 million people globally each year. While symptoms can range from mild to severe, it is rarely fatal and does not typically cause chronic liver disease. Improved sanitation and vaccination are the most effective prevention methods. An analysis of South African surveillance data from January to March 2014 found the highest number of cases in KwaZulu-Natal and Western Cape provinces.
Hepatitis C in Egypt
Hepatitis C is a liver disease that can range from mild to severe, leading to cirrhosis or liver cancer. About 150 million people are chronically infected worldwide each year. Egypt has one of the highest rates globally, with 14.7% of its population infected, mostly through unsafe medical practices. Common routes of transmission include injections, medical procedures, dental work, and birth from an infected mother. While the disease can be treated, there is no vaccine. Egypt faces a public health emergency due to hepatitis C, and reducing transmission requires improved infection control and safe practices in healthcare settings.

Viral Hepatitis in a nutshell. I don't own the information within the slides, I've only made the PowerPoint presentation.
Viral hepatitis
A. The document discusses viral hepatitis, providing information on the different types of hepatitis viruses (A, B, C, D, E). It describes the viruses' characteristics such as their structure, incubation period, transmission route, and ability to cause chronic infection.
B. Diagnosis of the hepatitis viruses involves detecting viral antigens, antibodies, RNA, or DNA in blood or liver tissue. Some types like hepatitis A can be prevented through vaccination and hygiene practices. Treatment focuses on suppressing viral replication through antiviral drugs.
C. While most hepatitis viruses cause acute, self-limiting illness, hepatitis B and C frequently result in chronic infection and long-term complications like cirrhosis if left untreated.
Hepatitis A
This document provides information about Hepatitis A Virus. It discusses that Hepatitis A is a picornavirus that infects humans and is transmitted through the fecal-oral route. While symptoms are usually mild and self-limiting, there can be complications in some cases including fulminant hepatitis. Prevention strategies include vaccination, improved sanitation and hygiene. The vaccine is effective but underutilized in many developing countries due to cost considerations.
Hepatitis C Presentation 2014
Hepatitis C continues to infect individuals in Saskatchewan. While Hep-C may be treatable, untreated Hep-C is a significant health threat. Transmission routes include shared drug equipment, dry blood contact, exposure during vacations, tattoos or piercing, and exposure through personal items such as razors and toothbrushes.
Hepatitis a & c
Hepatitis A & C are viral infections that cause inflammation of the liver. Hepatitis A is transmitted through contaminated food or water while Hepatitis C is transmitted through blood exposure and can become chronic. Symptoms of hepatitis include jaundice, fatigue and abdominal pain. While there is no treatment for Hepatitis A, which resolves on its own, Hepatitis C requires antiviral medication and lifestyle changes to prevent further liver damage. Vaccination and proper hygiene are important for preventing the spread of Hepatitis A.
Hepatitis a-1
Hepatitis A is an inflammation of the liver caused by the hepatitis A virus. It is usually transmitted through the fecal-oral route by consuming food or water contaminated with the stool of an infected person. Common symptoms include jaundice, dark urine, nausea, and fatigue. Diagnosis involves blood tests to detect signs of the virus. While most people fully recover on their own, vaccination is recommended for those at high risk of infection. Proper hygiene and sanitation are important to prevent the spread of hepatitis A.
Viral hepatitis
This document discusses the different types of viral hepatitis. It explains that hepatitis means inflammation of the liver and can be caused by viruses or toxins. The five main types of hepatitis viruses are A, B, C, D, and E. Hepatitis A is generally mild and transmitted through food or water. Hepatitis B can be chronic and is transmitted sexually or through blood. Hepatitis C is also often chronic and transmitted through blood. Symptoms include fatigue, fever and jaundice. While there are no specific treatments for types A and C, vaccines exist to prevent all major types of hepatitis.

This document discusses hepatitis, specifically types A, B, and C. It provides details on the viruses that cause each type of hepatitis, including their structure and life cycle. Key points covered include:
- Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver that can be caused by viruses or other infections/toxins. The major hepatitis viruses are types A, B, C, D, and E.
- Hepatitis A and E are typically spread through contaminated food or water, while B, C, and D are spread through contact with infected body fluids.
- Hepatitis A virus is non-enveloped and causes a self-limiting disease spread through the fecal-oral route. Prevention includes vaccination and san
HEPATITIS D
Hepatitis D is caused by the Hepatitis D virus (HDV) and requires co-infection with Hepatitis B. HDV is found worldwide but prevalence is highest in Italy, the Middle East, Central Asia, West Africa, and South America. HDV transmission occurs through the same routes as HBV, except it is not sexually transmitted. Infection depends on HBV replication as HBV provides the envelope for HDV. HDV infection is diagnosed through an HDV antibody test.
Hepatitis a & e
This document summarizes different types of viral hepatitis. It discusses Hepatitis A and E viruses, which cause waterborne hepatitis. Hepatitis A virus is non-enveloped and causes lifelong immunity after infection. Hepatitis A incidence is 10-15 per 100,000 annually. The disease severity increases with age. Hepatitis E virus causes sporadic or epidemic hepatitis, especially in pregnant women in their third trimester. While Hepatitis A and E infections do not result in chronic hepatitis, Hepatitis B, C and D viruses spread through parenteral routes and can cause chronic infections.
Hepatitis abcde.ppt
This document discusses the different types of viral hepatitis, caused by hepatitis viruses A, B, C, D, and E. It outlines the characteristics of each type including reservoirs, incubation periods, signs and symptoms, and modes of transmission. Hepatitis A is typically transmitted through fecal-oral routes, while hepatitis B, C, and D can be transmitted through blood or bodily fluids. Hepatitis E is often transmitted through contaminated water in areas with poor sanitation. The viruses cause inflammation of the liver and common symptoms include jaundice, abdominal pain, fatigue, and nausea.
Hepatitis D and E: The Forgotten Viruses
Dr. Robert G. Gish, MD, of UC San Diego Health System Hepatology Clinic, prsesents "Hepatitis D and E: The Forgotten Viruses"
Hepatitis D
Hepatitis D is a severe form of viral hepatitis that requires simultaneous infection with hepatitis B virus. It has the highest fatality rate of hepatitis infections at 20% and inhibits interferon-alpha signaling. The virus has two antigens, L-HDAg and S-HDAg, that play different roles in its life cycle and replication within human cells. Hepatitis D is transmitted through exposure to infected blood and bodily fluids, and can occur through co-infection or superinfection of individuals already chronically infected with hepatitis B. Diagnosis involves testing for antibodies to the virus and detecting its RNA. While there is no vaccine for hepatitis D specifically, the hepatitis B vaccine provides protection, and treatment with interferon alpha can reduce severity in some
Hepatitis b virus
Hepatitis B is a vaccine-preventable liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Hepatitis B is spread when blood, semen, or other body fluids from a person infected with the virus enters the body of someone who is not infected.
Viral Hepatitis
Viral hepatitis is an infection that causes liver inflammation and damage. There are 5 main types of viral hepatitis caused by different viruses: hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. They vary in their modes of transmission, with hepatitis A usually spreading through contaminated food or water, hepatitis B spreading through body fluids, and hepatitis C mostly spreading through blood exposure. Prevention methods include vaccination, safe sex practices, avoiding needle sharing and raw meat, and proper hand washing and food preparation when traveling.

It outlines the objectives of discussing PMTCT program prongs, HIV epidemiology in the Philippines, transmission and management principles, and screening/testing during pregnancy. It provides statistics on increasing HIV prevalence in the Philippines, especially among men who have sex with men, IV drug users, and teenagers/single mothers. Modes of HIV transmission include unprotected sex and needle sharing. The document emphasizes screening, counseling, and ARV treatment during pregnancy and delivery to reduce mother-to-child transmission risk, as well as strategies to prevent unintended pregnancy and support women living with HIV.
Measles cases in 2014 soaring in america
The number of measles cases in the United States has risen sharply in 2014, with 288 cases reported so far that year, the highest since 2000. More than half of cases have occurred in adults over age 20. Ohio saw the most cases with 138, followed by California with 60 and New York with 26. Many cases have been linked to international travel, including from the Philippines which saw a major outbreak. Public health officials are concerned because some doctors have never seen measles and may not properly diagnose it, potentially allowing the disease to spread further. Vaccination rates have decreased due to some opting out of vaccines, putting those around them at risk. The CDC aims to curb the rise in cases through vaccination programs and recommending all

A Community Assessment of Nutritional Needs/Status of HIV/AIDS among Latinos ...Kayoko Takada (Zahn)
This document summarizes a community assessment of nutritional needs and HIV/AIDS status among Latinos in the San Joaquin Valley region of California. It finds that Latinos, who make up a large portion of the agricultural workforce in the region, face numerous barriers to accessing HIV prevention, screening, and treatment services due to issues like poverty, lack of transportation, and immigration status. The assessment recommends improving access to existing services, increasing collaboration between organizations, and ensuring availability of nutrition assistance programs to support those at high risk of or living with HIV infection.AIDS
HIV/AIDS affects millions of people worldwide. It is caused by the HIV virus and develops into AIDS which destroys the immune system. People can contract HIV through unprotected sex, contaminated needles, or from mother to child. While there is no cure for AIDS, medication can suppress the virus.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.
