SemEHR: A general-purpose semantic search system to surface semantic data from clinical notes for tailored care, trial recruitment, and clinical research*
ConclusionResults from the multiple case studies demonstrate SemEHR ’s efficiency: weeks or months of work can be done within hours or minutes in some cases. SemEHR provides a more comprehensive view of patients, bringing in more and unexpected insight compared to study-oriented bespoke IE systems. SemEHR is open source, available athttps://github.com/CogStack/SemEHR.

Kidney and liver organ transplantation in persons with human immunodeficiency virus: An Evidence-Based Analysis.
The objective of this analysis is to determine the effectiveness of solid organ transplantation in persons with end stage organ failure (ESOF) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV+) CLINICAL NEED: CONDITION AND TARGET POPULATION Patients with end stage organ failure who have been unresponsive to other forms of treatment eventually require solid organ transplantation. Similar to persons who are HIV negative (HIV-), persons living with HIV infection (HIV+) are at risk for ESOF from viral (e.g. hepatitis B and C) and non-viral aetiologies (e.g. coronary artery disease, diabetes, hepatocellular carcinoma). Additionally, H...

The impact electronic medical record system implementation on HCV screening and continuum of care: A systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: EMR system utilization had a positive impact on increasing HCV screening. However, the clinical effectiveness of utilizing an EMR system to help eliminate transmission and increase HCV treatment cure rates requires further study. PMID: 33549734 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Psychiatric treatment considerations with direct acting antivirals in hepatitis C
Conclusions: Although DAAs do not add significant neuropsychiatric risk, the potentialfor DDIs is high. Consideration of DDIs is paramount to improving medication adherence and mitigating adverse effects during HCV therapy.

Next-Generation Sequencing of 5' Untranslated Region of Hepatitis C Virus in Search of Minor Viral Variant in a Patient Who Revealed New Genotype While on Antiviral Treatment.
In conclusion, longitudinal analysis of HCV variants, employing two independent deep sequencing methods, suggests that the transient presence of a different genotype strain in PBMC was a result of superinfection and not a selection of pre-existing minor variant.

Hepatitis C point-of-care diagnostics: in search of a single visit diagnosis.
Authors: Grebely J, Applegate TL, Cunningham P, Feld JJ Abstract INTRODUCTION: The availability of simple, tolerable, therapies for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with responses >95% is one of the greatest medical advances in decades, offering an opportunity to reverse the rising burden due to HCV and strive towards HCV elimination. A key challenge moving forward will be to ensure that those who are undiagnosed are made aware of their infection, receive HCV therapy and achieve viral cure. The availability of point-of-care tests for HCV infection has the potential to simplify testing algorithms, increase diagn...

An update on recent developments in the search for hepatitis C virus therapies with pan-genotypic efficacy.
Authors: Borgia G, Scotto R, Buonomo AR Abstract INTRODUCTION: Pangenotypic drugs against HCV infections led to high rates of virologic response with very limited adverse events. Moreover, they are easy to administer among all HCV genotypes with minimal changes in treatment schedule. For this reason, the demand for new antivirals is greatly lowered. Areas covered. We discuss results from trials assessing safety and efficacy of Ravidasvir, which is the only direct-acting antiviral currently in clinical development. Expert opinion. The currently available pangenotypic drug combinations are very effective in HCV eradi...

Diagnostic Biomarkers to Diagnose Acute Allograft Rejection After Liver Transplantation: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies
Conclusion: IL-2 receptor expression demonstrated the highest diagnostic accuracy, while the peripheral eosinophil count was the only marker tested in more than one study. Presently, liver biopsy remains superior to noninvasive diagnostic biomarkers as most studies exhibited inferior designs, hindering possible translation into clinical application. Introduction Liver transplantation (LT) exhibits 20-year survival rates of up to 50% (1) and is of great clinical importance. LT is the treatment of choice for acute or acute-on-chronic liver failure, while organ replacement therapies are still waiting for the break (2)...

Methadone Treatment of Opiate Addiction: A Systematic Review of Comparative Studies
Conclusion and Recommendations More intervention-based clinical trials are needed to provide a strong alternative candidate therapy for management of opiate use disorder. Buprenorphine, although a promising candidate, should be researched more regarding treatment retention and patient satisfaction before any conclusions can be made regarding its standard use for opiate substitution maintenance treatment of pregnant patients with opiate use disorder. Heroin-assisted treatment still cannot be considered in opiate addicts refractory to MMT; more data should be collected regarding efficacy in larger participant populations un...

Interventions for dialysis patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection
CONCLUSIONS: In dialysis patients with HCV infection grazoprevir plus elbasvir probably improves ETR. There is no difference in ETR or SVR for combinations of telaprevir, ribavirin and PEG interferon given for different durations and doses. Though no longer in use, PEG interferon was more effective than standard interferon for ETR but not SVR. Increasing doses of PEG interferon did not improve responses. The addition of ribavirin to PEG interferon may result in fewer relapses, higher SVR, and higher numbers with adverse events.PMID:37096802 | PMC:PMC10130818 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD007003.pub3
