Hepatitis B: Symptoms. In many cases there are no symptoms in the early stages of hepatitis B infection. Many children and some adults do not develop any symptoms until complications, such as cirrhosis develop. Symptoms of hepatitis B can include flu-like symptoms, fever, headache, nausea, muscle aches and weakness.
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a very complex, multifaceted neural network that maintains internal physiologic homeostasis. This network includes cardiovascular, thermoregulatory, GI, genitourinary (GU), and ophthalmologic (pupillary) systems (see the following image).
Antinuclear antibodies (ANAs, also known as antinuclear factor or ANF) are autoantibodies that bind to contents of the cell nucleus. In normal individuals, the immune system produces antibodies to foreign proteins but not to human proteins (autoantigens). In some individuals, antibodies to human antigens are produced.
