Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess the exposure to Hepatitis E virus (HEV) on Reunion Island using a serosurvey among blood donors, analyzing archived frozen sera from a past cohort.
- - Results showed raw and weighted seroprevalences of HEV at 9.01% and 6.73%, respectively, with higher seropositivity observed in older individuals and males compared to females.
- - Findings suggest that Reunion Island has low endemicity for HEV, with spatial variability linked to living near pig farms, hinting at potential environmental contamination as a risk factor.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to gather data on primary Budd-Chiari Syndrome (BCS) in France using two methods: a survey of specialized liver units and analysis of hospital discharge databases.
- From the liver unit survey, 178 primary BCS cases were identified, showing a prevalence of 4.04 cases per million, with common risk factors being myeloproliferative neoplasms, oral contraceptives, and factor V Leiden.
- The findings revealed that primary BCS cases were three times less common than nonmalignant hepatic vein obstructions recorded in hospitals, highlighting significant differences in associated medical conditions.
