Journal ArticleDOI

Global prevalence and genotype distribution of hepatitis C virus infection in 2015: a modelling study

Sarah Blach, +221 more
TL;DR: The global estimate of viraemic HCV infections is lower than previous estimates, largely due to more recent prevalence estimates in Africa, and increased mortality due to liver-related causes and an ageing population may have contributed to a reduction in infections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Historical epidemiology of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in selected countries

Philip Bruggmann, +96 more
TL;DR: In most countries, prevalence rates were higher among males, reflecting higher rates of injection drug use, and Diagnosis, treatment and transplant levels also differed considerably between countries.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sustained virologic response to interferon-free therapies ameliorates HCV-induced portal hypertension

TL;DR: SVR to IFN-free therapies might ameliorate portal hypertension across all BL HVPG strata, however, changes inHVPG seemed to be more heterogeneous among patients with BL HvPG of ⩾16mmHg and a HV PG decrease was less likely in patients with more advanced liver dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI

25-Hydroxyvitamin D3-1α-hydroxylase and vitamin D receptor gene expression in human colonic mucosa is elevated during early cancerogenesis

TL;DR: Colorectal cancer cells are apparently able to increase their potential for an autocrine counter-regulatory response to neoplastic cell growth, particularly in the early stages of malignancy.
