Background/purpose: Dysbiosis of oral microbiota has been reported in late stage of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection with cirrhosis. CHB is characterized by the constant virus-induced liver injury which may lead to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, some patients show normal liver function without antiviral treatment, associating with favourable prognosis.

- Even though the military stopped the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" rule, there are still rules that make it hard to study the needs of military couples with different sexual identities.
- Research is important because LGB+ service members often face mental health issues and lack proper support.
- The paper reviews what we know about LGB+ military couples and suggests changes to help improve their situation through teamwork between military branches, leaders, and researchers.
Background: Stopping nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA) therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) may trigger a beneficial immune response leading to HBsAg loss, but clinical trials on re-start strategies are lacking.
Aim: To assess whether it is beneficial to undergo a prolonged flare after NA cessation.
Methods: One-hundred-and-twenty-seven patients with HBeAg negative, non-cirrhotic CHB with at least 24 months of viral suppression on NA therapy were included.
Background And Aims: Previous studies have shown suboptimal screening for hepatitis D virus (HDV) among patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). This study presents the cascade of care for HDV infection in a major secondary referral centre in Southern Stockholm, Sweden.
Methods: HBsAg+ve patients attending Karolinska University Hospital (KUH) from 1992 to 2022 were identified.
