TL;DR: GLE/PIB was effective for patients with HCV who failed to achieve an SVR after prior DAA therapies except in those with GT-1b HCV carrying NS5A-P32del even when such strains became undetectable by direct sequencing.

TL;DR: Switching of the nucleos(t)ide analog used from ETV to TAF may be useful in the treatment of patients with HBV infection, as it is associated with both a decrease in the serum HBsAg level and improvement of the medication compliance.

TL;DR: In this paper , the applicability and limitations of candidate surrogate viruses as process controls under combinations of different virus concentration and RNA extraction methods were evaluated for SARS-CoV-2 spiked in wastewater.

TL;DR: Factors responsible for impaired improvement of liver function despite sustained viral response after direct‐acting antiviral agents therapies in cirrhotic patients with hepatitis C virus need to be elucidated.

TL;DR: The MinION nanopore sequencer is useful for analyzing the HCV genome, especially the genomes of genotype 3 HCV strains for which standardized real‐ time PCR methods for all subgenotypes have not been established.
