Aging From Fundamental Biology to Societal Impact: Chapter 1 - Global aging and health determinants in a changing world

Elsevier,

Aging, From Fundamental Biology to Societal Impact, 2023, Pages 3-30

With the aging global population, the relationship between older people and their residential environments is increasingly important. This relationship is based on the match between the individual characteristics of a person, their needs and expectations, and the characteristics of their environment. By creating access to various health improvement factors and exposure to various risk factors, the conditions under which an individual ages can be modified. This helps to accelerate or decelerate the process of incapacitation that individuals undergo as they age. This can also reduce or reinforce socio-spatial inequalities, which underlie the preponderant role of territory and spatial policies in the prevention and promotion of healthy aging. This chapters supports the process for developing the Decade of Healthy Ageing (2020 – 2030) aligned to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG3).

Cardio-Hepatology: Connections Between Hepatic and Cardiovascular Disease: Chapter 9 - Passive liver congestion and hypoxic hepatitis

Elsevier,

Cardio-Hepatology: Connections Between Hepatic and Cardiovascular Disease, 2023, Pages 123-132

Chronic right-sided heart failure has deleterious effects on many organ systems, and the liver is no exception. Passive hepatic congestion not only can precipitate impaired hepatic synthetic function and hepatic fibrosis, but it can also predispose the liver to more severe acute injury in the setting of circulatory compromise, an entity known as hypoxic hepatitis.

Oncogenic Viruses: Volume 1: Fundamentals of Oncoviruses: Chapter 2 - Hepatocellular carcinoma associated with hepatitis B virus and environmental factors

Elsevier,

Oncogenic Viruses, Volume 1: Fundamentals of Oncoviruses, 2023, Pages 5-27

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for between 85% and 90% of primary liver cancers. It has several interesting epidemiological characteristics. Differences in distribution have been noted between geographic regions and ethnic groups but also according to sex and the presence of several risk factors linked to the environment. A variety of risk factors for HCC have been reported, including hepatitis B and C viruses, aflatoxin B1, alcohol consumption, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and hemochromatosis. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a ubiquitous virus with worldwide distribution.
