Hepatitis01:25

Hepatitis

78
Hepatitis is an inflammatory condition of the liver most commonly caused by hepatotropic viruses (A–E), though non-infectious causes such as alcohol and drugs also exist.Hepatitis AHepatitis A virus (HAV) is a non-enveloped RNA virus of the Picornaviridae family. It is primarily transmitted via the fecal-oral route, typically through ingestion of contaminated food or water. After ingestion, HAV enters the bloodstream through the oropharynx or intestinal epithelium and reaches the liver.

Viral Hepatitis I: Introduction

18
Viral hepatitis is an inflammatory condition of the liver caused by infection with hepatotropic viruses, most commonly hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. Despite variations in structure and transmission, all viruses mentioned infect hepatocytes and provoke immune responses that can hinder liver function. Additionally, some non-hepatotropic viruses can also lead to hepatic inflammation.Hepatitis A VirusHepatitis A virus (HAV) is transmitted through the fecal–oral route, typically by ingestion...

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I

1.7K
Tuberculosis, often called TB, is a contagious illness primarily caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It mainly affects the lung parenchyma but can also impact other body parts.
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.

Effect of Hepatic Disease on Pharmacokinetics: Pathophysiologic Assessment and Liver Function Test

271
In clinical practice, the direct measurement of hepatic blood flow to evaluate liver function presents significant challenges due to the intricate and specialized nature of the necessary techniques. Consequently, healthcare professionals often rely on empirical estimates derived from thorough patient examinations and liver function tests to gauge liver health. Among the tools at their disposal, the Child–Pugh and MELD scoring systems stand out for their ability to categorize and assess...

Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

2.0K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

Summary

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections are common in Ulleung County, a remote area. Community screening identified risk factors like low education and smoking for HBV, and cupping therapy for HCV, aiding prevention.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Ulleung County, South Korea, faces a high liver cancer incidence, compounded by geographic isolation and limited medical access.
  • Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) are primary drivers of liver cancer globally, necessitating localized prevalence data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To estimate the prevalence of HBV and HCV infections in Ulleung County residents aged 40 and above.
  • To identify demographic and behavioral risk factors associated with HBV and HCV infections within this population.
  • To inform targeted hepatitis prevention and management strategies for geographically isolated communities.

Main Methods:

  • A community-based screening and health behavior survey was conducted between 2019 and 2022.
  • Data from 1,684 participants (out of 1,792 volunteers) aged ≥40 years were analyzed.
  • Prevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis C virus antibody (anti-HCV) was determined.

Main Results:

  • The prevalence of HBsAg positivity was 7.19%, and anti-HCV positivity was 1.37%.
  • Lower educational attainment and lifetime smoking were significantly associated with HBsAg positivity.
  • Cupping therapy at non-medical facilities was linked to anti-HCV positivity; tattoos were associated with lower HBsAg positivity.

Conclusions:

  • While HBV infection alone may not fully account for the high liver cancer rates, it is a significant contributing factor.
  • Community-based screening effectively identifies infection prevalence and risk factors in isolated populations.
  • Findings support the development of tailored hepatitis prevention programs for Ulleung County and similar regions.
