In Silico Screening of Terminalia chebula Phytocompounds as Potential Inhibitors of NTCP and DDB1 in Hepatitis B Virus Infection
Abstract: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major global health concern, and chronic carriers are at risk of developing cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and even death. Existing treatments can effectively inhibit viral replication, but they achieve little eradication of the virus because of covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) retention. In this investigation, bioactive compounds of Terminalia chebula, a plant known for its hepatoprotective and antiviral properties in traditional medicine, were …

Jaundice: Etiology, Clinical Manifestations, Diagnosis, Management, Nursing Care, and Prevention
Abstract: Jaundice is a significant clinical condition marked by a yellow discoloration of the skin, sclera, and mucous membranes resulting from increased bilirubin levels in the bloodstream. Rather than being a disease itself, jaundice represents an underlying disorder involving the liver, biliary system, or hematological processes. Hyperbilirubinemia develops when there is excessive bilirubin production, impaired hepatic uptake, defective conjugation, or obstruction in bile excretion. Jaundice remains a major global health concern …

Treatment of Hepatotoxicity
Abstract: An instantaneous or prolonged response to a synthetic or natural substance is known as drug-induced liver injury, or drug-induced hepatotoxicity (DILI). There are two distinct pathways that lead to hepatotoxicity: the more unpredictable idiosyncratic mechanism and the dose-dependent intrinsic mechanism. Several pathways, some known and others speculated, may be involved in the emergence of drug-induced damage. Drug-induced liver impairment can have several causes, and elevated liver tests are one of …
