Background: In clinical trials, new oral direct-acting antiviral agent therapies have demonstrated a high sustained virological response rate in patients with hepatitis C virus infection. We aimed to analyze the efficacy and safety data from direct-acting antiviral agent interferon-free therapy in hepatitis C virus infection in a study performed in five different clinical settings in Mexico City; four private practice sites and one academic medical center in a real-world scenario.
Methods: Eighty-one patients were treated with seven different direct-acting antiviral agent regimens, in which the end of treatment, sustained virological response at 12 weeks post-treatment, and adverse effects were evaluated.
Background: A significant number of patients infected with hepatitis C virus remain unaware of their infection, as this is a silent disease for many years. Patients are frequently detected at advance stages of the disease.
Objective: To identify the prevalence and viremic stage of hepatitis C among a general population cohort.
Aim: To assess the usefulness of FibroTest to forecast scores by constructing decision trees in patients with chronic hepatitis C.
Methods: We used the C4.5 classification algorithm to construct decision trees with data from 261 patients with chronic hepatitis C without a liver biopsy.
Background: Inhibin B is a direct marker of ovarian reserve and one of the earliest markers of ovarian aging. It has been used in assisted reproduction programs as a serum marker that can identify an altered follicular reserve and predict a good or poor response to the stimulation with exogenous gonadotropins.
Objective: To correlate inhibin B levels with follicular response and quality of oocytes obtained through ovarian stimulation controlled in an in vitro fertilization cycle (IVFET), as well as relate it with variables such as: fertilization percentage and pregnancy rates.
