Below 114 K, the structure becomes monoclinic. The analogous rubidium and potassium compounds behave similarly. [1] NaSH has a relatively low melting point of 350 °C. In addition to the aforementioned anhydrous forms, it can be obtained as two different hydrates, NaSH·2H 2 O and NaSH·3H 2 O. These three species are all colorless and behave ...

[citation needed] HCC is a major cause of death in patients with chronic HCV infection. Regarding the pathogenesis of HCC associated with HCV, that virus may play direct or indirect roles.
Hepatitis B virus is classified in the genus Orthohepadnavirus, which contains 11 other species. [3] The genus is classified as part of the Hepadnaviridae family, which contains four other genera, Avihepadnavirus, Herpetohepadnavirus, Metahepadnavirus and Parahepadnavirus. [3] This family of viruses is the only member of the viral order ...
