Unraveling antiviral efficacy of multifunctional immunomodulatory triterpenoids against SARS ‐COV‐2 targeting main protease and papain‐like protease
AbstractThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) may be over, but its variants continue to emerge, and patients with mild symptoms having long COVID is still under investigation. SARS-CoV-2 infection leading to elevated cytokine levels and suppressed immune responses set off cytokine storm, fatal systemic inflammation, tissue damage, and multi-organ failure. Thus, drug molecules targeting the SARS-CoV-2 virus-specific proteins or capable of suppressing the host inflammatory responses to viral infection would provide an effective antiviral thera...

Congenital herpes simplex with ophthalmic and multisystem features: a case report
CONCLUSIONS: In the management of neonatal HSV, early diagnosis is essential for the timely initiation of antiviral therapy. Our report highlights that ocular assessment can be crucial in the correct diagnostic investigation of this condition.PMID:38044450 | DOI:10.1186/s12887-023-04423-1 (Source: Herpes)

The effect of switch therapy to tenofovir versus entecavir maintenance on recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after surgery (SWITE): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Antiviral therapy has been reported to be associated with lower recurrence rate of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) for patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. While entecavir (ETV) and tenofovir disopr... (Source: Trials)

Skeletal muscle mass is significantly increased after direct-acting antiviral therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C
Rationale: In chronic hepatitis C (CHC), the mechanisms behind sarcopenia have not been completely clarified. Thus, we investigated skeletal muscle mass and liver function before and after sustained virological response (SVR) to DAA therapy patients with CHC. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)
