  2. Heute ist #WeltHepatitisTag. Auf unserem Portal mit evidenzbasierten, allgemein verständlichen Gesundheitsinformationen könnt ihr euch sowohl über #HepatitisB (gesundheitsinformation.de/hepa) als auch über #HepatitisC (gesundheitsinformation.de/hepa) in Ruhe informieren, ohne Angstmacherei, ohne Werbung usw. Zu Hepatitis C gibt es auch zwei Erfahrungsberichte.

  3. "The [Division of #Viral #Hepatitis] Laboratory Branch had the highest degree of viral hepatitis expertise of any #PublicHealth laboratory in the world," wrote Scott Becker, the assn's CEO. "Their loss eliminated critical national testing services that do not exist anywhere else within the #HHS agencies."

    As of April 16, the assn had not received a response from #RFKJr, Becker said.

  4. The #hepatitis C #virus, which is spread through contact w/infected blood & can lead to #deadly liver #cancer, is notoriously hard to identify. But if anyone could understand what was #happening in FL, it would be the Division of #ViralHepatitis in the #CDC's HQ.
    Using samples from the lab's collection of nearly 1M frozen specimens, scientists helped make the initial discovery of the #HepatitisC virus in the 1980s. In 2020, that #research was awarded the #NobelPrize in #Medicine.

  9. In the middle of a #hepatitis #outbreak, #CDC shutters the one lab that could help

    After people started testing positive for #HepatitisC in a coastal #Florida town in December, state ofcls collected blood from patients, wrapped their specimens in dry ice & mailed them straight to the CDC in ATL, GA.

    Ein Forscherteam hat mithilfe von Künstlicher Intelligenz die #Proteinstrukturen der #Flaviviridae-#Virenfamilie untersucht, zu der u.a. #HepatitisC, #Zika und #Dengue gehören. Dadurch wurden neue Glykoproteine entdeckt, die entscheidend für das Eindringen der #Viren in #Wirtszellen sind. Besonders bei Hepatitis C wurden neue #Eintrittsmechanismen entschlüsselt, was die Entwicklung von #Impfstoffe​n erleichtern könnte.

  11. 💪 ■ Los expertos alertan de la prueba que deberían hacerse de inmediato los nacidos entre 1945 y 1975 ■ Se recomienda que se aseguren de que no han contraído la hepatitis C, de la existe la posibilidad de reinfección.

    Wie schön, daß ich dies noch erleben darf. Leider erst jetzt richtig. Habe als eine der Ersten Anf d 80er davon mitbekommen in meinem Umfeld. Machte mir ganz schön Angst, und ich stieß auf taube Ohren in meinem Umfeld. Aids lief "einigermaßen" glimpflich in meinem Umfeld ab. Mehr Leute hab ich an die Stille Epedemie von #HepatitisC, Alkohol und harte Drogen verloren 😥

    #MakeMedicinesAffordable (MMA) believes it is every person’s right to access the treatment they need, and that intellectual barriers (IP) preventing this must be removed.

    MMA works to bring down the price of #HIV, #TB, #HepatitisC, and potential #COVID19 #medicines, specifically in middle-income countries (MICs). The majority of people living with HIV are from MICs. The income classification of these countries means they are routinely left out of schemes, yet are far from able to pay what monopoly holders demand. This forces countries to ration.

    Extortionate price tags result in choices. The ‘choice’ to sell your house or go without meds, or a government’s ‘choice’ of which citizens to treat if you can’t treat them all.

    No country should be forced to decide WHO to treat. They must treat EVERYONE.

    The MMA campaign is led by the International Treatment Preparedness Coalition #ITPC and partners, made up of civil society organizations from over 20 countries. They include patients, lawyers, #health experts and activists, all choosing, instead, to challenge the IP measures that benefit profit but not people.
