Article Synopsis
- * Out of 57 patients analyzed, significant clinical differences were observed between the treatment and untreated groups, but both groups had similar baseline demographic and laboratory characteristics.
- * The results indicated that while early antiviral therapy led to better short-term HBsAg seroclearance rates, it did not prevent chronic hepatitis B or significantly differ in key clinical outcomes, suggesting the need for further, larger randomized studies.
Article Synopsis
- - This study explored the reasons for liver transplantation (LT) and the characteristics of patients who underwent the procedure in Turkiye from 2010 to 2020, involving over 5,000 adult patients.
- - The findings revealed that the average patient age was about 50, with most being female, and chronic viral hepatitis was the leading cause for LT, particularly Hepatitis B.
- - Although chronic viral hepatitis remains the top reason for LT, there has been a noticeable increase in surgeries related to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and alcohol-related liver disease in recent years.
Resistance to antibiotics by pathogenic bacteria constitutes a health burden and nanoparticles (NPs) are being developed as alternative and multipurpose antimicrobial substances. Magnetite (FeO np), manganese ferrite (MnFeO np) and nickel ferrite (NiFeO np) NPs were synthesized and characterized using thermogravimetric analysis, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transformed infra-red, and X-ray diffraction. The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) ranged from 0.
