Article Synopsis
- Hepatic disorders often progress silently and are usually detected only when liver function is significantly impaired, making early diagnosis challenging.
- Oral lichen planus (OLP) is frequently associated with Hepatitis C and can serve as an early warning sign for the disease, particularly in patients with chronic HCV infection.
- This case report highlights the importance of dentists in diagnosing and managing OLP, emphasizing their role in treatment and the potential for early hepatitis C screening, as demonstrated by a female patient who achieved full remission through topical corticosteroids and oral sanitation.

Article Synopsis
- Hepatitis C virus-related liver cancer affects minorities in the U.S. the hardest due to socioeconomic barriers, prompting a study on treatment outcomes among different racial and ethnic groups.
- A study of 666 patients who completed antiviral therapy and underwent liver transplantation found no significant differences in 5-year recurrence-free survival or overall survival among White, Black, Hispanic, and Other racial/ethnic groups.
- The findings indicate that when treatment barriers are removed, race/ethnicity does not impact cancer outcomes, highlighting the need to prioritize eliminating access obstacles for minority populations.
Article Synopsis
- * Out of 47 children with hepatitis linked to COVID-19, a significant 79% displayed symptoms of CAH-C, showing a mild illness and quick recovery, while the remaining 21% exhibited more severe symptoms resembling MIS-C, with higher risks and complications.
- * The research underscores the importance of distinguishing between CAH-C and MIS-C in pediatric patients to provide appropriate and timely care, as CAH-C tends to have a better prognosis.
Extracellular Vesicles Contribute to Viral-Induced Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Understanding Their Involvement in Viral Hepatitis and Their Potential as Biomarkers for Early Hepatocellular Carcinoma Detection.

The high global prevalence of hepatitis B and hepatitis C and the poor prognosis of hepatitis B and hepatitis C-associated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), necessitates the early diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Recent studies show that cell-to-cell communication via extracellular vesicles (EVs) is involved in the HCC progression. The objective of the following study was to explore the role of EVs in the progression of viral-induced HCC and investigate their potential for the early diagnosis of cancer.
