Goals To compare the safety and length of hospitalization (LOH) between a full solid diet as initial meal for refeeding after mild acute pancreatitis (AP) compared with 2 other diets. Background In AP, need fat restriction during has not been studied. It was hypothesized that reintroduction oral feeding AP safe might result in shorter LOH. Study Subjects were randomized to receive 1 3 diets (clear liquid, soft, or solid) refeeding. Diet progression hospital discharge decided by physicians...
Prospective study of 200 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that underwent liver transplant (LT) after drug-eluting beads transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) for downstaging versus bridging. Overall survival and tumor recurrence rates were calculated, eligibility LT, time on the waiting list radiological response compared. After TACE, only within Milan Criteria (MC) transplanted. More LT in bridging group. Five-year post-transplant overall survival, recurrence-free has no...
Liver transplantation (LT) is the treatment of choice for patients with unresectable early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Post-LT HCC recurrence rates range from 8 to 20% and still impact on overall survival (OS). The aim our study was evaluate post-LT analyze prognostic factors among those recurrence.
We reviewed the current status of liver transplantation in Latin America. used data from American and Caribbean Transplant Society national organizations societies, as well information obtained local transplant leaders. America has a population 589 million (8.5% world population) more than 2,500 transplantations are performed yearly (17% activity), resulting 4.4 transplants per people (pmp) year. The number grows at 6% year region, particularly Brazil. top rates were found Argentina (10.4...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes cancer-related mortality worldwide. The Brazilian Society Hepatology (SBH) published in 2015 its first recommendations about management HCC. Since then, new data have emerged literature, prompting governing board SBH to sponsor a single-topic meeting August 2018 São Paulo. All invited experts were asked make systematic review literature reviewing HCC subjects with cirrhosis. After meeting, all panelists gathered together for...
In acute pancreatitis (AP), oral refeeding may stimulate pancreatic secretion, increasing the inflammation of glandular tissue causing relapse abdominal pain or even exacerbation disease. This study aimed to assess prevalence and risk factors over in patients convalescing with AP as well impact recurrence on hospital stay.Inclusion criteria were confirmed by biochemical and/or radiological data absence severe disease extensive necrosis. The same diet was offered all during refeeding....
A substantial number of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) become dependent on steroids after induction therapy. Treatment azathioprine (AZA) may be beneficial in such patients. The present open-label study evaluated the long-term safety and efficacy AZA steroid-dependent CD patients.Adult were enrolled for therapy over a 7-year period. average dose was 2.0-3.0 mg/kg per day, adjusted according to clinical response occurrence adverse effects. Steroid tapered off predefined schedule....
The time that patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can safely remain on the waiting list for liver transplantation (LT) is unknown. We investigated whether impacts transplant survival of HCC candidates and recipients. This a single-center retrospective study 283 adults HCC. Patients were divided in groups according to waiting-list time. main endpoint was survival. median LT 4.9 months. dropout rates at 3-, 6-, 12-months 6.4%, 12.4%, 17.7%, respectively. Mortality 4.8%, but varied...
OBJETIVO: Propor um sistema de graduação para a disfunção precoce do enxerto hepático. MÉTODOS: Estudo retrospectivo único centro transplantador. Foram incluídos receptores transplante hepático por doador falecido transplantados pelo MELD. A foi definida segundo os critérios Olthoff. Diversos pontos corte testes laboratório pós-transplante foram utilizados criar da enxerto. O principal desfecho perda aos 6 meses. RESULTADOS: pico aminotransferases durante primeira semana pós-operatória se...
To establish the efficacy and safety of a 7-d therapeutic regimen using omeprazole, bismuth subcitrate, furazolidone amoxicillin in patients with peptic ulcer disease who had been previously treated other regimens without success.Open cohort study which included unsuccessfully one or more eradication regimens. The consisted 20 mg 240 colloidal 1000 amoxicillin, 200 furazolidone, taken twice day for 7 d. Patients were considered as eradicated when samples from gastric antrum corpus 12 wk...
Introduction: The scheme proton pump inhibitor/amoxicillin/clarithromycin (PPI/AC) is still the first-line treatment for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infections despite evidence suggesting its failure in up to 20% 30% of patients. Methodology: This study involved 493 patients who were prescribed omeprazole (20 mg twice a day) or another inhibitor equivalent dosage, amoxicillin (1 g day), and clarithromycin (500 seven days. Efficacy was determined by negative urease test absence H. on...
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) has been shown to recur after liver transplantation (LT). Some studies have identified certain clinical laboratory variables associated with an increased risk for recurrent PSC (rPSC) in Caucasians. Furthermore, de novo cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) reported anecdotally patients rPSC. This study aims assess the prevalence of rPSC, identify its factors, investigate occurrence CCA a highly admixed population from Brazil. Methods All...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the main indications for orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). In Brazil, selection criteria HCC an expanded version Milan Criteria (MC), so-called "Brazilian Criteria" (BMC). Our aims were to evaluate post-OLT outcomes in patients with and analyze BMC performance.We conducted a multicenter, retrospective cohort study, analyzing medical records 1,059 transplant recipients HCC. Tumor was staged according MC correlated overall survival (OS)...
