Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to know the prevalence of previous infection markers for hepatitis A and B viruses in a pediatric-juvenile population from Gijón, Spain. METHODS A representative (according to the census) transversal randomized sample of a population from 6 to 25 years in age

[Immunogenicity of vaccines against viral hepatitis A and B in the population above 40 years of age -- impact of risk factors].

Only registered users can translate articles

The immune reaction following vaccination against viral hepatitis A (HAV) and viral hepatitis B (HBV) can be influenced by a variety of factors. Among the most important are age, gender and body weight. OBJECTIVE This prospective randomized study compared immunogenicity of available vaccines against

Formalin-inactivated, alum-adsorbed, hepatitis A vaccine was evaluated in 100 healthy adults who were stratified at enrollment into two age groups: 18-39 years: n = 50; 40-65 years: n = 50. All individuals received vaccine at 25 U of viral antigen. After stratification, both groups were randomized

Seropositivity among Korean Young Adults Approximately 2 Years after a Single-Dose Vaccination against Hepatitis A Virus.

We previously observed 80.7% seropositivity and a significant interaction between gender and hepatitis A virus (HAV) vaccine type (Havrix vs. Epaxal) on the seropositivity approximately 11 months after single-dose HAV vaccinations in Korean young adults. Our objective was to evaluate seropositivity

New approaches to hepatitis A and B vaccines.

Plasma-derived vaccines and yeast-derived recombinant vaccines against hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection have gained an acceptable record of efficacy. However, non- or hyporesponsiveness to immunization does not only occur in cases of obesity, renal failure or immune suppression, but also in healthy

The immunogenicity of a single dose of hepatitis A virus vaccines (Havrix® and Epaxal®) in Korean young adults.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Assessing the immunogenicity of a single dose of hepatitis A virus (HAV) vaccines is important because some people receive only a single dose. However, previous studies have shown variable results and have not examined the effects of demographic characteristics other than gender. This

BACKGROUND Preoperative clinical and biochemical data and intraoperative liver biopsy of 1,000 obese patients submitted to biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) were analyzed, and correlations investigated. METHODS Of 2,645 patients submitted to BPD between May 1976 and November 2002, the last 1,000

Yield of diagnostic tests in obese children with an elevated alanine aminotransferase.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with obesity and affects roughly 10% of children. However, NAFLD is often diagnosed by exclusion - that is, obese children with an elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) are screened for other liver diseases in the absence of a

Infections and obesity: A multinational epidemiological study.

To compare the early biochemical response and rate of adverse effects in patients who received prednisolone (PRED)/azathioprine (AZA) and those who received budesonide (BUD)/AZA as the first-line treatment for autoimmune hepatitis.The study involved 25

Non-uremic calciphylaxis associated with alcoholic hepatitis: A case report.

Only registered users can translate articles

Calciphylaxis is a form of vascular calcification more commonly associated with renal disease. While the exact mechanism of calciphylaxis is poorly understood, most cases are due to end stage kidney disease. However, it can also be found in patients without kidney disease and in such

Hypoxic hepatitis caused by severe hypoxemia from obstructive sleep apnea.
