Article Synopsis
- In 2019, the WHO reported 81 million people with chronic hepatitis B in Africa, highlighting the need for prevention programs to stop mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HBV, which can lead to chronic infections.
- A network called the Mother-Infant Cohort Hepatitis B Network (MICHep B Network) was created in 2018, involving multiple African countries and the UK, aiming to promote effective initiatives for preventing MTCT of HBV.
- The network has conducted various studies and workshops to raise awareness and build capacity around HBV, revealing a significant acceptability of the hepatitis B vaccine among families in Cameroon and Zimbabwe.
Short-term Effects of Diet and Activity Changes on Inflammation and Insulin Resistance.
Int J Sports Med
December 2016
The present study focused on rapid responses of inflammation markers and insulin resistance to dietary restriction and exercise in inactive patients. 13 obese women were included during a 5-day time frame during which decreases in food intake (-1 378±298 kcal) were associated with 2 exercise sessions (80 and 40 min). Circulating inflammatory biomarkers, insulin resistance index and muscle soreness were measured in fasted conditions.

In obese patients, our aim was to investigate the relationships that occurred between fasting plasma concentrations of anorexigenic peptides and metabolic parameters, appetite, physical capacity, and weight loss in the 5 first days of a program associating exercise and caloric reduction. Thirteen obese women were monitored from day 1 to day 5 with 2 exercise sessions in day 2 and day 4.
