Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Amira Mahmoud Al Balakosy"
- Amira Mahmoud Al Balakosy's research primarily focuses on the relationship between chronic hepatitis C (CHCV) and depression, particularly how treatment with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) may influence mental health outcomes in affected patients
- In her 2021 study, she evaluated the impact of viral clearance achieved through DAAs on depression levels in a cohort of 150 chronic HCV patients, utilizing the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scale to measure changes over time
- The findings aim to address the neuropsychiatric implications of chronic HCV and suggest that successful antiviral treatment may lead to improvements in depressive symptoms among patients, thereby highlighting the importance of holistic approaches in managing chronic infections
