Antiviral therapy in chronic hepatitis B viral infection during pregnancy: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Robert S. Brown, Brian J. McMahon, Anna S.F. Lok, John B. Wong, Ahmed T. Ahmed, Mohamed A. Mouchli, Zhen Wang, Larry J. Prokop, Mohammad Hassan Murad, Khaled Mohammed – 13 November 2015 – Perinatal or mother‐to‐child transmission (MTCT) of hepatitis B virus (HBV) remains the major risk factor for chronic HBV infection worldwide. In addition to hepatitis B immune globulin and vaccination, oral antiviral therapies in highly viremic mothers can further decrease MTCT of HBV.

Prospective validation of ab initio liver transplantation in hepatocellular carcinoma upon detection of risk factors for recurrence after resection

Joana Ferrer‐Fàbrega, Alejandro Forner, Alexandre Liccioni, Rosa Miquel, Víctor Molina, Miquel Navasa, Constantino Fondevila, Juan Carlos García‐Valdecasas, Jordi Bruix, Josep Fuster – 13 November 2015 – A decade ago we proposed to enlist for transplantation those patients with resected hepatocellular carcinoma in whom pathology registered pejorative histological markers (microvascular invasion and/or satellites; ab initio indication) and not wait for the appearance of recurrence. This study evaluates the outcome of this approach.

Mohamed, Abd Moain Abu Dabrh, Larry J. Prokop, Zhen Wang, Mohammad Hassan Murad, Khaled Mohammed – 13 November 2015 – Chronic hepatitis B viral (HBV) infection remains a significant global health problem. Evidence‐based guidelines are needed to help providers determine when treatment should be initiated, which medication is most appropriate, and when treatment can safely be stopped.

Antiviral therapy in management of chronic hepatitis B viral infection in children: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Maureen M. Jonas, Anna S.F. Lok, Brian J. McMahon, Robert S. Brown, John B. Wong, Ahmed T. Ahmed, Wigdan Farah, Mohamed A. Mouchli, Siddharth Singh, Larry J. Prokop, Mohammad Hassan Murad, Khaled Mohammed – 13 November 2015 – Most individuals with chronic hepatitis B viral (HBV) infection acquired the infection around the time of birth or during early childhood. We aimed to synthesize evidence regarding the effectiveness of antiviral therapy in the management of chronic HBV infection in children.
