## Abstract HPV infections are believed to be a necessary cause of cervical cancer. Viral burden, as a surrogate indicator for persistence, may help predict risk of subsequent SIL. We used results of HPV test and cytology data repeated every 4β6 months in 2,081 women participating in a longitudinal

## Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotyping is important for determining the treatment protocol for hepatitis C patients. Since amplified material from the Roche HCV Monitor kit is compatible with the Innogenetics INNOβLiPA HCV II kit (line probe assay), amplicons from the Monitor assay can be u
## Monitoring the progression of hepatitis C virus (HCV ) includes clinical, biochemical, and histological parameters. Quantitation of viral load by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) may offer a more reliable marker of disease status. Conflicting reports on viral titers may
The clinical presentations of chronic hepatitis C are not uniform. Some patients show persistently high serum alanine transaminase (ALT) values and develop liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), whereas serum ALT values stay normal in other patients. The mechanism causing this diversity
Cannabinoids present in Cannabis sativa (marijuana) exert biological effects via cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2. We recently demonstrated that CB1 and CB2 receptors regulate progression of experimental liver fibrosis. We therefore investigated the impact of cannabis smoking on fibrosis progressio
