Association between hepatitis C infection during pregnancy with maternal and neonatal outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Mothers with HCV infection had a markedly increased probability of PTB and/or IUGR and/or LBW. In clinical practice, standard care of treatment and proper monitoring are needed for the pregnant population with HCV infection. Our findings may provide useful information for selecting appropriate therapy methods for HCV-positive pregnant women.PMID:37140297 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202304_32120

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.

A psychology postdoctoral fellowship program in integrated HIV and hepatitis C clinical care: Rationale, progress, and future directions.
Individuals with HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C virus (HCV) often present with complex mental health (MH) and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment needs. Evidence shows that providing MH and SUD services in integrated care settings results in improved medical treatment outcomes and disease management for these populations. Given the importance of addressing the MH and SUD needs of veterans seeking care at Veterans Health Administration (VHA) facilities for HIV and HCV, the Office of Public Health is collaborating with VHA’s Office of Academic Affiliations to support a clinical psychology postdoctoral training program with th...
