Assessment of liver damage in patients with COVID-19 is sub-optimal: results of a survey of medical practitioners
Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2021 Apr 6. doi: 10.17235/reed.2021.7970/2021. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLiver damage, defined by an increase in liver biochemical parameters, is related to a more unfavorable severity and prognosis in patients with COVID-19. These patients are also treated with immunomodulatory drugs capable of reactivating the hepatitis B virus (HBV), with indication for prophylaxis in specific situations. Due to its importance in this pathology, we wondered whether physicians should perform a systematic search for liver damage and HBV.PMID:33820421 | DOI:10.17235/reed.2021.7970/2021

Preventing hepatocellular carcinoma in Egypt: results of a Pilot Health Education Intervention Study
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), one of the most fatal malignancies, is particularly prevalent in Egypt, where we previously found deficiencies in knowledge concerning HCC and its risk factors. Hepatitis B and C viral infections are highly prevalent in Egypt, pesticides are very commonly used, and diets are often contaminated by aflatoxin, especially in rural areas. Methods: We conducted a study to pilot test a health education intervention addressing HCC, its risk factors, and its main modes of prevention. It included four health education modules: HCC, hepatitis viruses, pesticides and aflatoxin. We used a pre...

IJERPH, Vol. 15, Pages 123: A Cross-Sectional Study of the Association between Infant Hepatitis B Vaccine Exposure in Boys and the Risk of Adverse Effects as Measured by Receipt of Special Education Services
This study examined the potential relationship between infant exposure to mercury from three doses of Thimerosal-containing hepatitis B vaccine and the risk of boys being adversely affected (as measured by receipt of SES). This cross-sectional study examined 1192 boys (weighted n = 24,537,123) 7–8 years of age (born: 1994–2007) from the combined 2001–2014 National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES). Survey logistic regression modeling revealed that an exposed population receiving three doses of infant Thimerosal-containing hepatitis B vaccine (weighted n = 11,186,579), in comparison to an unexposed po...

Knowledge, awareness, and vaccination compliance of hepatitis B among medical students in Riyadh's governmental universities
CONCLUSION: Overall, most of the participants had poor HBV knowledge and vaccine compliance. Therefore, we recommend the implementation of pre-clinical vaccine checking and the addition of an infectious disease awareness and prevention program.PMID:34017775 | PMC:PMC8132782 | DOI:10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_1419_20

Prevalence and Susceptibility to Hepatitis B virus and the Need for Community Health Education in Milwaukee ’s Hmong Community
This study sought to estimate the prevalence of HBV infection and assess the need for community HBV education within Milwaukee County’s Hmong.MethodsBetween 3/2013 and 12/2019, 287 Hmong participants were screened for HBV and 271 were provided targeted HBV education to evaluate its impact on HBV knowledge.ResultsAmong participants screened, 178 (62%) were immune; 77 (27%) susceptible; 27 (9%) positive; and 5 (2%) in a “gray zone.” Targeted health education showed statistically significant improvement in HBV knowledge.DiscussionWith 38% lacking immunity to HBV and 9% with active infection, there remains a significant ...

Hepatitis A and hepatitis B infection prevalence and associated risk factors in men who have sex with men, Bangkok, 2006–2008
Abstract Despite the availability of safe and effective vaccines, little is known about prevalence and risk factors for hepatitis A (HAV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection among Thai men who have sex with men. The prevalence of HAV and HBV infection among men who have sex with men cohort in Bangkok was assessed. Baseline blood specimens were drawn and demographic and behavioral data were collected. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze risk factors for prevalent HAV and HBV infection. One thousand two hundred ninety‐nine Thai men who have sex with men 18 years and older were enro...

Notes from the Field: Investigation of Infectious Disease Risks Associated With a Nontransplant Anatomical Donation Center - Arizona, 2014.
Abstract CDC is investigating reports of potential occupational exposure to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and Mycobacterium tuberculosis among workers performing preparation and dissection procedures on human nontransplant anatomical materials at a nontransplant anatomical donation center in Arizona. CDC is working with Arizona public health officials to inform persons exposed to these potentially infected materials. Nontransplant anatomical centers around the United States process thousands of donated cadavers annually. These materials (which might be fresh,...

Knowledge and prevalence of viral hepatitis among beauticians
In conclusion, a high prevalence of HAV infection and a low prevalence of HBV and HCV infection were observed among beauticians. In addition, most of these individuals were not immune to HBV, indicating the need for vaccination campaigns targeting these professionals. Most of these professionals were well informed regarding viral hepatitis, although there was a gap in knowledge regarding disinfection and sterilization procedures. Public health prevention strategies should be adopted to improve education about disinfection/sterilization procedures for manicures and pedicures. J. Med.
