  • The aim of antiviral therapy is to minimize symptoms and infectivity as well as to shorten the duration of illness. (amboss.com)
  • Cell culture systems contribute to identifying molecular mechanisms for HBV and HDV propagation, finding drug targets for antiviral therapies, and testing antiviral agents. (cdc.gov)
  • Recently, the development of the HepG2-NTCP sec+ cell line, expressing the sodium taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide receptor (NTCP) and self-assembling co-cultured primary human hepatocytes (SACC-PHHs) has opened new perspectives for a better understanding of HBV and HDV lifecycles and the development of specific antiviral drug targets against HBV/HDV infections. (cdc.gov)
  • These cases of COVID-19 rebound had negative test results after Paxlovid treatment and had subsequent positive viral antigen and/or reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing. (cdc.gov)
  • Today, antiviral agents such as Ganciclovir (GCV) and Valganciclovir are the most common clinical treatments for patients with such infections by targeting the viral DNA polymerase. (lu.se)
  • An important defense mechanism against viral infections in our body are special proteins, the antibodies. (sflorg.com)
  • A partial list includes inhibiting tumor growth, killing strep and staph bacteria, halting urinary tract infections, healing infected wounds, relieving hives and allergic reactions, stopping allergies, neutralizing toxic and poisonous insect and animal bites and stings, etc. (alternativesmagazine.com)
  • A potential causative viral agent was detected in 88% of the cases. (cdc.gov)
  • Long COVID is difficult to treat because researchers haven't been able to pinpoint the underlying mechanisms that cause prolonged illness after a SARS-CoV-2 infection, said study author Christoph A. Thaiss , PhD, an assistant professor of microbiology at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. (medscape.com)
  • We studied the viral etiology of acute expiratory wheezing (bronchiolitis, acute asthma) in 293 hospitalized children in a 2-year prospective study in Finland. (cdc.gov)
  • the vaccines can protect most individuals from getting HBV infection. (medicinenet.com)
  • At present, the control of virus infections is primarily achieved by means of immunization vaccines. (justia.com)
  • In general, however, viral vaccines have had only a moderate success in animal prophylaxis. (justia.com)
  • A new viral outbreak can be unpredictable, and development of specific defense tools and countermeasures against the new virus remains time-consuming even in today's era of modern medical science and technology. (akjournals.com)
  • In the lack of effective and specific medication or vaccination, it would be desirable to have a nonspecific protocol or substance to render the virus inactive, a substance/protocol, which could be applied whenever a new viral outbreak occurs. (akjournals.com)
  • The CBAs act at an early step of DENV infection as they bind to the viral envelope of DENV and subsequently prevent virus attachment. (unboundmedicine.com)
  • The CBAs were also able to completely prevent the cellular activation and differentiation process of MDDC induced upon DENV infection. (unboundmedicine.com)
  • Pyrazinamide is used only in combination with other effective antituberculous agents. (medscape.com)
  • Their ability to target specific steps in the viral life cycle makes them highly effective at reducing viral load and controlling infection. (researchpeptides.net)
  • The aim of this proposal is to initiate research that could lead to the introduction of practical and effective antiviral protocols. (akjournals.com)
  • Conclusion: These results suggest that the combined therapy with diuretics and antiviral agents seems to be more effective than the com bined therapy with blood expanders to the recovery of sudden sensorin eural hearing loss in the cases of who have a history of vertigo and upper respiratory tract infection. (ejao.org)
  • Additionally, no effective treatment for HDV infection is currently available. (cdc.gov)
  • Currently, there are reliable and affordable diagnostics for hepatitis B. In addition, effective and safe antiviral agents against hepatitis B and hepatitis C exist. (who.int)
  • Probable severe CMV infection and the interstitial pneumonia raised the possibility of HIV infection. (hawaii.edu)
  • Methods: This is a cross-sectional study that evaluated 183 patients with chronic HBV infection in treatment for at least three months with adefovir, entecavir, lamivudine and / or tenofovir. (usp.br)
