100,000th Veteran treated by VA for Hepatitis C
Through innovative systems redesign, dedicated providers and engaged Veterans, VA recently began treatment for its 100,000th Veteran with hepatitis C (HCV). New highly effective medications are easy to take and cure hepatitis C in 95 percent of Veterans who take them – a huge improvement from past treatments.
On the ground, teams of providers and staff have worked to develop ways to get the word out over the past three years; new HCV treatments work, and most Veterans in VA care have answered “yes.”

52 Million Children Suffering from Hepatitis
According to Polaris data, of 325 million confirmed patients worldwide, 52 million are minors, a number much higher than the 2.1 million children suffering from AIDS, according to recent statistics reported at the World Hepatitis Summit in Brazil. According to Raquel Peck, CEO of World Hepatitis Alliance, most infected infants and children are not diagnosed, prioritized, or treated effectively. Twenty-one countries are responsible for around 80% of pediatric hepatitis C infections, with the highest prevalence rates generally found in developing countries. Of the 52 million, more than 90% have hepatit is B. However, the study showed that compared to hepatitis C, new hepatitis B infections among children are declining, from approximately 4.7% prevalence in the pre-vaccination era of the early 1980s to 1.3% in 2016. Data released at the summit indicated that 84% of countries offer Hepatitis B vaccines, but only 39% provide birth doses (Link 1, Link 2).

Tick Tock: Your Body Clocks
Circadian rhythms can influence eating habits, digestion, and metabolism (how our body uses and stores energy), too. Researchers have found that eating later in the day, closer to when melatonin is released, can disrupt the body’s natural rhythms. This can lead to increased body fat and weight gain, which are often associated with obesity, heart disease, and diabetes.

Are you taking too much anti-inflammatory medication?
Robert H. Shmerling, MD
You might call them pain relievers. You might take them for back pain, headache, or arthritis. Your doctor calls them “NSAIDs,” which stands for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Whatever you call them and for whatever reason you take them, NSAIDs are among the most popular medications worldwide.
