Are amino acid substitutions in the hepatitis C virus core region associated with postoperative recurrence and survival of patients with HCV genotype 1b-associated hepatocellular carcinoma?
Amino acid substitutions at residue 91 of the HCV core region are associated with postoperative recurrence or survival in patients infected with HCV genotype 1b who developed HCC and treated by hepatectomy. This factor should be taken into consideration for the postoperative management of patients with HCC.
The OMO time was correlated with cognitive function, physical function, and incidents of falling. Our preliminary study indicates that the OMO may help to make a distinction between fallers and non-fallers among older people as effectively as other tests.
