Metformin and statins reduce hepatocellular carcinoma risk in chronic hepatitis C patients with failed antiviral therapy
CONCLUSION: Metformin for DM and statins for HLP have chemopreventive effects on HCC risk in CHC patients who failed antiviral therapy. These findings emphasize the importance of personalized preventive strategies for managing patients with these clinical profiles.PMID:38637957 | DOI:10.3350/cmh.2024.0038 (Source: Clinical and molecular hepatology)

Epub 2024 Mar 19.ABSTRACTEmergency departments (ED) provide care to populations with high rates of communicable diseases, like HIV, hepatitis C virus, and syphilis. For many patients, the ED is their sole entry point into the healthcare system and they do not routinely access screening and prevention services elsewhere. As such, the ED can serve an important public health role through communicable disease identification, treatment, and prevention. In this article, we examine national recommendations, peer-reviewed literature, and expert consen...

Trends in Mortality Related to Hepatitis B and C from 1990 to 2019 in the Western Pacific Region
CONCLUSIONS: : Although the mortality rate from hepatitis B and C decreased from 1990 to 2019, notable variation was observed among 27 Western Pacific countries. Efforts targeting hepatitis B and C prevention and treatment are still required in this region, especially for the pandemic countries.PMID:38638100 | DOI:10.5009/gnl230023 (Source: Gut and Liver)

IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 501: Sexually Transmitted Infections in Adolescents and Young Adults: A Cross Section of Public Health
Conclusions. The literature for other countries reports the need for comprehensive, culturally and developmentally sensitive care to address sexuality-related issues in adolescents and young adults, a need that also applies to Italy. These data will be of great importance in adopting evidence-based STI control programs in Marche Region. This study could, indeed, represent a landmark for public health officials and professionals, with the aim of promoting adolescents’ access to sexual health services to receive useful information, strengthening preventive measures in younger age groups, and designing sexual ed...

Injection network drivers of HIV prevention service utilization among people who inject drugs: results of a community-based sociometric network cohort in New Delhi, India
CONCLUSIONS: We found differential associative relationships between individual HIV prevention service engagement and the health or risk behaviours of direct and indirect alters. Characterizing network exposure beyond direct injecting partnerships provided important context on possible mechanisms of behavioural influence. Findings could be leveraged to design peer-based interventions that promote network diffusion of health-seeking behaviours.PMID:38632848 | DOI:10.1002/jia2.26241 (Source: Journal of the International AIDS Society)
