Leading international virologists review the state-of-the-art in the biology, pathogenesis, and epidemiology of the hepatitis viruses. The authorities writing here examine the five well-recognized hepatitis viruses, A through E, and some of the newer agents, the so-called non- A-E hepatitis viruses. They also provide in-depth discussions of the ...
Current approaches to the diagnosis and management of viral hepatitis rely on understanding molecular virology. This book aims to bridge the widening rift between clinical and molecular aspects of viral hepatitis by providing an up-to-date overview of th
This up-to-date and informative guide that covers the molecular biology, clinical description, immunopathogenesis, diagnostic testing methods, therapy, and prevention of the recognized forms of human viral hepatitis, acute and chronic.
It is estimated that one in ten of the world's population is infected with hepatitis. Chronic hepatitis B and C are major aetiological factors in the development of end-stage liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma, leading to an increased burden of health care provision and transplant services throughout the world. The prevention of infection ...
"Frontiers in Viral Hepatitis" provides a compilation of the research from over 40 key opinion leaders in the field of Hepatitis. It focuses on the latest advances in the search for new, more effective therapeutic options and related topics in viral hepatitis. These include regulatory issues, epidemiology, and emerging viruses; immunology and ...
A number of viruses cause inflammation of the liver, and some forms of the disease can be life threatening. In common with many branches of virology, research in this area has moved very quickly with the advent of AIDS. This text discusses the pathology of viral hepatitis, and provides a summary of modern understanding of these diseases.
This volume contains the six viral hepatitis chapters from the definitive virology reference, Knipe and Howley's "Fields Virology, Fourth Edition", plus new information on pegylated interferons/ribavirin combination therapy for hepatitis C. Written by recognized leaders in the field, "Viral Hepatitis" covers both basic virology and clinical ...
All known types of viral hepatitis are endemic throughout the world. In the last few years the impact of molecular biological techniques on the study of viral hepatitis has been significant, particularly in our understanding of hepatitis C. This book covers all aspects of this important topic.
Leading scientists, clinicians, and clinical investigators comprehensively review the epidemiology, molecular virology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of chronic hepatitis caused by the B and C viruses. The discussion of patient management includes contributions on developing novel therapeutics, supporting patients during therapy, ...
With remarkable progress being reported in living donor liver transplants and small bowel transplantation, the 9th Keio International Symposium for Life Sciences and Medicine was auspiciously timed. Titled "Current Issues in Liver/Small Bowel Transplantation", the Tokyo symposium brought together researchers from Japan and other parts of the world ...
This is the second edition of the first comprehensive book on hepatitis, a field in which there has been an explosion in knowledge over the last two decades. The second edition brings not only a totally revised content, but also expanded coverage to be the most comprehensive resource available. Clinical focus has been improved to make the book ...
Primary liver cancer occurs when cancerous (malignant) cells begin to grow in the tissues of liver. Although many cancers are on the decline, the incidence of primary liver cancer in the United States increased over 70 percent between 1975 and 1995. The increase is linked to rising rates of hepatitis B and C infection - the leading causes of liver ...
The diagnosis and management of viral hepatitis relies increasingly on the application of molecular techniques for the detection of viruses and interpretation of their significance and limitations in clinical practice. This book bridges the gap between the clinical and molecular aspects of viral hepatitis. It provides a practical guide to the use ...
This is a review of the sorts of risks that practising surgeons can face today in operating on HIV patients or in dealing with those with hepatitis and other, life-threatening diseases. There is a overview of infectious diseases, the risks they present and a set of recommended precautions which have been validated by the Centre for Disease Control ...
Experienced scientists describe - in an easily-followed format - their state-of-the-art techniques for evaluating antiviral compounds. The assays described include systems for investigating drugs used against herpesviruses, hepatitis viruses, human immunodeficiency viruses, human papillomaviruses, and influenza viruses. These well-tested methods ...
With the vast number of hepatitis patients and asymptomatic carriers in China, the control and eradication of the disease has become a crucial public health task. This volume presents material regarding the etiology, pathology, clinical features, epidemiology and control of viral hepatitis that have emerged in response to this challenge. Several ...
