Antiviral therapy in neonatal cholestatic cytomegalovirus hepatitis
Abstract Background Neonatal hepatitis refers to a heterogeneous group of disorders, caused by many factors including cytomegalovirus infection, revealing similar morphologic changes in the liver of an infant less than 3 months of age. Approximately 40% of cholestasis in infants is due to neonatal hepatitis. It may cause latent or acute cholestatic or chronic hepatitis, including cirrhosis in immunocompetant infant. Methods Twelve infants diagnosed with neonatal cytomegalovirus hepatitis in the last one year were included in the study. Group 1 consisted of seven babies treated with ganciclovir for 21 days. Group 2 included five cases who did not receive antiviral treatment. Physical examination, biochemical, serologic and virologic tests were done for both groups at the time of diagnosis and in the third month. Results Initial levels of total bilirubin, aminotransferases, gamma glutamyl transpeptidase, and alkaline phosphatase revealed a significant decrease after the treatment in Group 1 (p Conclusion The clinical spectrum of perinatal infection varies from an asymptomatic infection or a mild disease to a severe systemic involvement, including central nervous system. The treatment in the early period of infection improved serologic markers and cholestatic parameters significantly. Further studies will lead us to clarify the efficacy of ganciclovir treatment in the early period of cytomegalovirus hepatitis, and the preventive role of anti-viral therapy on progressive liver disease due to cholestasis and hepatitis in neonatal cytomegalovirus infection.</p
Real-world efficacy, safety, and clinical outcomes of ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir +/- dasabuvir +/- ribavirin combination therapy in patients with hepatitis C virus genotype 1 or 4 infection: The Turkey experience experience
Background/Aims: mbitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir (OMV/PTV/r) +/- dasabuvir (DSV) +/- ribavirin (RBV) combination has demonstrated excellent rates of sustained virologic response (SVR) and a very good safety profile in patients with the chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 or 4 infections. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness and safety of OMV/PTV/r +/- DSV +/- RBV combination regimen in a real-world clinical practice. Materials and Methods: Data from HCV genotype 1 and 4 patients treated with OMV/PTV/r +/- DSV +/- RBV (n=862) in 34 centers across Turkey between April 1, 2017 and August 31, 2018 were recorded in a large national database. Demographic, clinical, and virologic data were analyzed. Results: The mean age of the patients was 55.63, and 430 patients (49.9%) were male. The majority had HCV genotype 1b infection (77.3%), and 66.2% were treatment-naive. Non-cirrhosis was present at baseline in 789 patients (91.5%). SVR12 rate was 99.1% in all patients. Seven patients had virologic failure. No significant differences were observed in SVR12 according to HCV genotypes. HCV RNA was undetectable at treatment week 4 in 90.9%, at treatment week 8 in 98.5%, and at the end of treatment (EOT) in 98.9%. SVR12 ratio was significantly higher in the non-cirrhotic patients compared to that in the compensated cirrhotic patients. Rates of adverse events (AEs) in the patients was 59.7%. Conclusion: The present real-life data of Turkey for the OBV/PTV/r +/- DSV +/- RBV treatment of patients with HCV genotype 1b, 1a, or 4 infection from 862 patients demonstrated high efficacy and a safety profile

Margery Kempe’in kendine özgü ruhsal deneyimleriyle Ortaçağa bakış ve Kempe’in kitabında ve başka dini yapıtlarda İsa’nın “sevgili” olarak gösterilmesi
Margery Kempe (c.1373-c.1439), bir otobiyografi yazarıdır ve onun ruhsal yaşamı The Book of Margery Kempe (Margery Kempe’in Kitabı) adlı eserinde kaleme alınmıştır. Kempe’in mistik bir yazar olduğu düşünülmesine rağmen, kitabı başka Ortaçağ mistik yazarlarının kullandığı içeriğe uymaz. Çünkü, o esas olarak kendi kişisel ve ruhsal deneyimleri üzerinde durur ve bir rahibe değildir. Kempe, duygusal bir kadındı ve onun için Hristiyanlığın mucizeleri, gerçek deneyimlerdi. Yaşamındaki gerçek olaylar veya kişiler ise, ona Hristiyan kavramlarını ya da kişiliklerini anımsatıyordu.Margery Kempe (c.1373-c.1439) is an autobiographer, and her spritual life is recorded in her work entitled The Book of Margery Kempe. Though Kempe is thought of as a mystical author, her book does not conform to the contents of other medieval mystical writings, because she mainly dwells on her personal and spiritual experiences, and she was not a nun. Kempe was an emotional woman, and for her the miracles in Christianity became real experiences. As for the real events or persons in her life, they reminded her of Christian concepts or personalities
