TL;DR: HBV genotypes C can be differentiated into 2 subgroups--namely, genotype Ce and genotype Cs--that have different epidemiological distributions and virological characteristics.

TL;DR: A data mining framework, which includes molecular evolution analysis, clustering, feature selection, classifier learning, and classification, is introduced and the results show that the classification methods have more than 70 percent accuracy and 80 percent sensitivity for most data sets, which are considered high as an initial scanning method for liver cancer diagnosis.

TL;DR: In conclusion, infections with different genotypes of HBV (B, Ce, and Cs) carry different genomic markers for HCC at different parts of the HBV genome, suggesting different virologic mechanisms of hepatocarcinogenesis.

TL;DR: It is reported that HBV with TCC at nucleotides 1856 to 1858 of the precore region might represent a specific HBV strain associated with more aggressive liver disease than other genotype C HBV strains.

TL;DR: Without intravascular instrumentation and other autonomic maneuvers, active motionless standing or HUT at 80 degrees for 30 min is highly specific but of limited sensitivity for the investigation of vasovagal syncope.
