The management of chronic hepatitis B: 2025 Guidelines update from the Canadian Association for the Study of the Liver and Association of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Disease Canada | Canadian Liver Journal Abstract Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection poses significant public health challenges in Canada, particularly among newcomers from regions with high HBV prevalence. In alignment with the World Health Organization’s goal of HBV elimination by 2030, this 2025 guidelines update—developed jointly by the Canadian Association for the Study of the Liver (CASL) and the Association of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Disease (AMMI) Canada—presents recommendations for universal adult HBV screening, vaccination, laboratory assessment, and treatment. These guidelines emphasize patient-centred care, early diagnosis, and expanded antiviral treatment, including for individuals in the indeterminate or grey zone and special populations such as pregnant individuals, children, and those coinfected with HIV, hepatitis C, or hepatitis D. Notably, the guidelines recommend reflex HDV testing and routine use of quantitative HBsAg to support management decisions. These evidence-based recommendations are informed by expert consensus, recent literature, and international standards, with the aim of improving outcomes, reducing stigma, and informing future policy and research priorities.

I’m glad to have been part of the guidelines committee. It was a great experience.

I said what I said. And I’m sorry... sort of OPINION: Choreographed fragility and weaponised offence from female MPs over my use of a rude word has served as a distraction from their own actions.

The right to reply.

Why is no one in our mainstream media dissecting the upcoming regulatory standard bill? Why isn’t this important information?
Why is there zero transparency or oversight being applied?
Do they assume we’re dense of mind? WTAF? 🤷‍♀️ #nzpol #OneTermGobernment #ToitūTeTiriti

Finally the rain stopped and I managed some time in the garden.

In New Zealand we have similar data also. Significant disparities of disease burden with worse outcomes along the whole care continuum for Maori, from diagnosis to treatment to transplant/ cancer treatment #hepatitis

So where was Prime Minister Luxon today? Hard to not think he was avoiding.... Surely it's his job to be in parliament. Maybe he had a meeting with some landlords.

Pay equity changes: Two sides of the coalition brought out Analysis: ACT ministers were popping champagne after the sudden announcement, but National's were on the defensive, writes Jo Moir.

Every single woman MP in the government should be questioned about this daily

Absolutely shameful that they let this slide, because it doesn't affect them
#nzpol

Snap organising ka pai unions! This government just say the cruel things out loud. So we gather and unite against this attack on women and workers. Shame on Brooke van Veldon for undoing the work towards pay equity with URGENCY!

How is this possible. Not campaigned on. No consultation. Announced and progressed under urgency in the same day. So wrong. So so wrong. #payequity

3️⃣ Guidance Over Control
Leadership isn’t about micromanaging—it’s about empowering. A strong leader offers support and wisdom while allowing others to grow and take ownership.

Ever worked with one?

Word of the day is ‘quiddler’ (18th century): one who focuses on unimportant issues while avoiding the important ones, or who fiddles/plays golf while Rome burns.
