Diseases of the Liver and Gallbladder

Diseases of the Liver and Gallbladder

Liver and gallbladder diseases are a significant health concern, with prominent conditions including cirrhosis, hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and gallstones. Jaundice is a common manifestation of liver and biliary disease.
Cirrhosis is characterized by the scarring of hepatic lobules in the liver, which are replaced by fibrous tissue, affecting the liver's normal functioning. NAFLD, on the other hand, is caused by an excessive build-up of fat in the liver, not...

Mechanisms of Retrovirus-induced Cancers

Mechanisms of Retrovirus-induced Cancers

Retroviruses are RNA viruses that have been shown to cause cancers in diverse species, including chickens, mice, cats, and monkeys. The RNA genomes of these viruses are first reverse-transcribed into single and then double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) copies. This dsDNA called proviral DNA then integrates into the host genome. Subsequently, the host cell transcribes the proviral DNA in concert with the chromosomal DNA. This leads to the production of viral RNA and proteins that assemble at the host...

Area of Science:

Hepatology
Public Health
Sociology

Background:

Hepatitis B is a chronic viral infection often acquired in early life, potentially leading to liver cirrhosis and cancer.
The condition disproportionately affects populations in Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and their diasporas.
Sex, gender, race, ethnicity, class, and geography significantly influence the physical, psychological, and social impacts of Hepatitis B and access to care.

Purpose of the Study:

To advocate for an intersectional approach in addressing Hepatitis B.
To integrate biomedical understanding with community-based health beliefs and lived experiences.
To promote equitable and effective responses to the biopsychosocial complexities of Hepatitis B.

Main Methods:

This study presents an argument for an intersectional framework.
It emphasizes community leadership in shaping health responses.
It explores the integration of biomedical interventions with diverse cultural health belief models.

Main Results:

Biomedical advancements have improved Hepatitis B prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
Existing health inequities create barriers to timely and sensitive care.
Community-led, intersectional approaches can bridge the gap between biomedicine and diverse explanatory models.

Conclusions:

An intersectional approach, prioritizing affected communities, can create more equitable and effective Hepatitis B strategies.
Integrating lived experiences with biomedical science is crucial for addressing the biopsychosocial aspects of Hepatitis B.
This approach holds the potential to improve health and reduce mortality for people living with Hepatitis B.
