The prevalence of cardiometabolic disorders, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is increasing in western countries, because changes lifestyle and dietary habits. Mediterranean Diet (Med-Diet) effective for cardiovascular prevention, but its relationship with NAFLD has been scarcely investigated.We included 584 consecutive outpatients presenting one or more risk factor such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), arterial hypertension, overweight/obesity, dyslipidemia. Liver...
Adults hospitalized for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) have an increased risk of myocardial infarction. Corticosteroid treatment lowers CAP morbidity and mortality, but it is not known whether influences in-hospital infarction.The aim the present study was to investigate potential interplay between corticosteroid infarction in adults with CAP.We retrospectively analyzed referred University Hospital Policlinico Umberto I (Rome, Italy), consecutively recruited, prospectively followed until...
<p>Nutraceuticals are natural bioactive products with food value and promising therapeutic properties in several diseases. Current cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy surgery, induce unintended side effects compromising also health well-being of patients. Emerging studies suggest that some plant-based agents may impact cellular molecular processes underlying tumor progression. However, these molecules might play an antagonistic activity against classic agents. The aim...
In the present study, we tested hypothesis that oxidative stress could be implicated in myocardial damage during acute phase of pneumonia. NOX2 activation, catalytic subunit NADPH oxidase, and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) elevation have been analyzed two hundred forty-eight consecutive patients hospitalized for community-acquired Serum NOX2-derived peptide (sNOX2-dp), a marker 8-isoprostaglandin F2α (8-iso-PGF2α), stress, were measured upon admission; serum hs-cTnT ECG every...
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition, and clinicians should diagnose it as soon possible to enable rapid intervention. The study aims validate the AIA-360 Presepsin (PSEP) test for its use in determination diagnosis of septic patients after admission emergency departments (ED). A total 97 blood samples were collected from at ED donors Tor Vergata Hospital. Here, 15 obtained with confirmed sepsis, 44 non-septic inflammatory condition. control group 38 healthy subjects was also included....
Ménière's disease is an idiopathic inner ear disorder characterized by recurrent vertigo, fluctuating sensorineural hearing loss, and persistent tinnitus. In 10% to 30% of cases, conservative therapy fails, defined as intractable. these patients, ablative techniques with unilateral vestibular deafferentation are mandatory. Several approaches for neurectomy, which preserve capability, described. patients presenting severe dizziness associated high-grade surgical labyrinthectomy, or selected...
