Chagaev may pull out of another fight

[El Kabong]

I think there are several different types, like A, B, and C or something. The kind like Pamela Anderson has is deadly; not sure what Chagaev has but it isn't what she has. If I were his opponent though I would be the one pulling out

#1 Pam Anderson has Hepititus C and it isn't "deadly" it just affects the liver in a bad way #2 The disease can go away for a while and then flare up


Can we have Chagaev put down already?

Apparently he has the B type, nothing mortal, just very bad for the liver if it happens repeatedly and can lead to liver cancer. As you can contract via blood/body fluids, no wonder why the fight is canceled.

Hepatitis B is a disease caused by HBV hepatitis B virus which infects the liver of hominoidae, including humans, and causes an inflammation called hepatitis. Originally known as "serum hepatitis", the disease has caused epidemics in parts of Asia and Africa, and it is endemic in China. About a third of the world's population, more than 2 billion people, have been infected with the hepatitis B virus. This includes 350 million chronic carriers of the virus. Transmission of hepatitis B virus results from exposure to infectious blood or body fluids containing blood.
The acute illness causes liver inflammation, vomiting, jaundice and—rarely—death. Chronic hepatitis B may eventually cause liver cirrhosis and liver cancer—a fatal disease with very poor response to current chemotherapy. The infection is preventable by vaccination.
Hepatitis B virus is an hepadnavirus—hepa from hepatotrophic and dna because it is a DNA virusand it has a circular genome composed of partially double-stranded DNA. The viruses replicate through an RNA intermediate form by reverse transcription, and in this respect they are similar to retroviruses. Although replication takes place in the liver, the virus spreads to the blood where virus-specific proteins and their corresponding antibodies are found in infected people. Blood tests for these proteins and antibodies are used to diagnose the infection.



Transmission

Transmission of hepatitis B virus results from exposure to infectious blood or body fluids containing blood. Possible forms of transmission include (but are not limited to) unprotected sexual contact, blood transfusions, re-use of contaminated needles & syringes, and vertical transmission from mother to child during childbirth. Without intervention, a mother who is positive for HBsAg confers a 20% risk of passing the infection to her offspring at the time of birth. This risk is as high as 90% if the mother is also positive for HBeAg. HBV can be transmitted between family members within households, possibly by contact of nonintact skin or mucous membrane with secretions or saliva containing HBV. However, at least 30% of reported hepatitis B among adults cannot be associated with an identifiable risk factor.


Treatment

Acute hepatitis B infection does not usually require treatment because most adults clear the infection spontaneously. Early antiviral treatment may only be required in fewer than 1% of patients, whose infection takes a very aggressive course ("fulminant hepatitis") or who are immunocompromised. On the other hand, treatment of chronic infection may be necessary to reduce the risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer. Chronically infected individuals with persistently elevated serum alanine aminotransferase, a marker of liver damage, and HBV DNA levels are candidates for therapy.
Although none of the available drugs can clear the infection, they can stop the virus from replicating, and minimize liver damage such as cirrhosis and liver cancer. Currently, there are seven medications licensed for treatment of hepatitis B infection in the United States. These include antiviral drugs lamivudine (Epivir), adefovir (Hepsera), tenofovir (Viread), telbivudine (Tyzeka) and entecavir (Baraclude) and the two immune system modulators interferon alpha-2a and pegylated interferon alfa-2a (Pegasys). The use of interferon, which requires injections daily or thrice weekly, has been supplanted by long-acting pegylated interferon, which is injected only once weekly. However, some individuals are much more likely to respond than others and this might be because of the genotype of the infecting virus or the patient's heredity. The treatment works by reducing the viral load, (the amount of virus particles as measured in the blood), which in turn reduces viral replication in the liver.
Infants born to mothers known to carry hepatitis B can be treated with antibodies to the hepatitis B virus (hepatitis B immune globulin or HBIg). When given with the vaccine within twelve hours of birth, the risk of acquiring hepatitis B is reduced 95%. This treatment allows a mother to safely breastfeed her child.

Oh ok Dr. Lyle Thx. I obviously didn't know what I as talking about


Yes put Chagaev down

I wasn't meaning to put you down or anything, I was just stating the facts. I'm not even that big of a Pam Anderson fan, I think she's waaaaay past it and all the surgery has really taken away from what she originally started with and before she got bigger boobs she was smoking hot.


As for Chagaev, remember when Vitali kept getting hurt? He retired because he couldn't stay healthy....Chagaev should get out of the division.

I wouldn't mind having Sultan Ibragimov back though....he seemed to be a good fighter, not Champion material but that doesn't mean he couldn't win the WBA title.

No worries; I knew you weren't trying to. I should learn about something if I am going to speak on it. Hepatitis isn't something I study I just remember when Pam got Hep the tabloid shows were all saying it was deadly. Who cares.....

As for Chagaev getting out I agree for what it's worth.
