INTRODUCTION In Australia, chronic hepatitis B (CHB) disproportionately affects migrants born in hepatitis B endemic countries, but its detection and management in high risk populations remains suboptimal. We piloted a primary care based program for CHB detection and management in an area of high disease prevalence in Sydney, Australia. Prior to its launch, all local general practitioners were ...

A proprietary data monitoring receiver has been integrated into the single phase solar inverter and aggregates the power optimizer performance data from each. single phase solar inverter price A single-phase grid connected transformerless photovoltaic PV inverter for. ABSTRACT In this paper the issue of control strategies for single-stage photovoltaic PV inverter is addressed. single phase pv i...

OBJECTIVES The present study describes the demographics, mortality, morbidity and recurrence rates of autoimmune-associated congenital heart block (CHB) using information from the Research Registry for Neonatal Lupus. BACKGROUND Isolated CHB detected at or before birth is strongly associated with maternal autoantibodies to 48-kD SSB/La, 52-kD SSA/Ro and 60-kD SSA/Ro ribonucleoproteins and is ...

During pregnancy in autoimmune conditions, maternal autoantibodies are transported across the placenta and may affect the developing fetus. Congenital heart block (CHB) is known to associate with the presence of anti-Ro/SSA and anti-La/SSB antibodies in the mother and is characterized by a block in signal conduction at the atrioventricular (AV) node. The mortality rate of affected infants is 15...

This study aimed to develop a mobile application (app), for the selfmanagement performance of patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). The mobile app was developed in five stages by analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. And 19 systems were modified. Mobile app for self-management performance of patients with CHB was developed. Developed a mobile app is expected to be he...

The class Φ2 inverter is a new switched mode type of resonant inverter. This inverter is applicable for very high frequency application. In this paper, it proposes class Φ2 inverter reduced the voltage stress, and improve the dynamic response. The class E resonant inverter is not suitable for high frequency application, because it produce high voltage stress across the switch. The suitable ball...

BACKGROUND Hepatitis B virus (HBV) exists in the breast milk of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) mothers. The authors use a meta-analytic technique to quantify the evidence of an association between breastfeeding and risk of CHB infection among the infants vaccinated against HBV. METHODS Literature search is performed up to 2010 on the relationship between infantile CHB infection within one-year fol...

The burden of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is increasing in Australia, particularly in those born in the Asia-Pacific region, and nearly half are undiagnosed. Primary care clinicians have a key role in diagnosing CHB, however identification of patients at risk is hindered by lack of awareness and limited information on country of birth in patient records. This study evaluates the potential of a va...

To investigate the effects of sildenafil citrate (Viagra) on foveolar choroidal circulation in patients with age related macular degeneration (AMD). Double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover study. Fifteen male AMD patients received a dose of 100 mg of sildenafil or matching placebo on two separate days. Laser Doppler flowmetry was performed to assess relative choroidal blood ve...

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment is regarded as a safe and effective method for chronic hepatitis B (CHB), which requires a traditional diagnosis method to distinguish the TCM syndrome. In this study, we study the differences and similarities among excessive, excessive-deficient, and deficient syndromes, by an integrative and comparative analysis of weighted miRNA expression or miRN...
