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 ...
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.
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
There has been an explosion of both the incidence and medical knowledge of viral hepatitis over the last two decades. Not only is the incidence of infection and disease increasing, but new hepatitis viruses have been discovered, as well as the launch of new pharmaceutical products. Previously published by Churchill Livingstone, "Viral Hepatitis" ...
This up-to-date reference serves as a comprehensive overview of, and patient treatment manual for, chronic viral hepatitis - accounting for subtleties in the diagnosis and treatment of individual patients, rapidly evolving concepts in patient management, and heightened public awareness of the disease. It illustrates how current advances in ...
This is an update of the molecular biology and clinical experience on the viruses which cause chronic hepatitis and liver carcinoma in humans and in model animals. Treatment of chronic hepatitis, reinfection after liver transplantation, in vitro replication of hepatitis B, C and D viruses, immunopathogenesis, variants of hepatitis viruses, ...
Chronic viral hepatitis is discussed here in a multidisciplinary approach. The editors' goal was to assemble contributions from clinicians, laboratory physicians, epidemiologists, pathologists, and molecular biologists to provide a synopsis of all the important aspects of this disease. A key element in the chronic evolution of viral hepatitis is ...
A series of international symposia on viral hepatitis and liver disease has been held triannially. This volume reports the results of the eighth of these "Olympiads", which was held in Tokyo in May 1993. The major topics discussed were the molecular biology of the five known hepatitis viruses (HAV, HBV, HCV, HDV, and HEV), clinical implications of ...
