Background— Scimitar syndrome is a rare congenital heart disease. To evaluate the surgical results, we embarked on European Congenital Heart Surgeons Association (ECHSA) multicentric study. Methods and Results— From January 1997 to December 2007, collected data 68 patients who underwent surgery for scimitar syndrome. Primary outcomes included hospital mortality efficacy of repair at follow-up. Median age was 1.4 years (interquartile range, 0.46 7.92 years). Forty-four (64%) presented with...
Ziel: VirtualTouch ist eine neue Ultraschalltechnik, mit der die Lebersteifigkeit im Rahmen B-Mode-Sonografie eingeschätzt werden kann. Ziel Studie war Analyse diagnostischen Genauigkeit von für Diagnose einer Leberzirrhose und dessen Korrelation transienter Elastografie (Fibroscan). Material Methoden: Insgesamt wurden 133 Patienten chronischer Lebererkrankung eingeschlossen. 90 / untersucht 70 den untersuchten erhielten Leberbiopsie. Die wurde beiden Methoden rechten Leberlappen untersucht....
Abstract Background Rare diseases collectively impose a significant burden on healthcare systems, especially in underserved regions, like the Middle East, which lack access to genomic diagnostic services and associated personalized management plans. Methods We established clinical genomics genetic counseling facility, within multidisciplinary tertiary pediatric center, United Arab Emirates locally diagnose manage patients with rare diseases. Clinical investigations included exome-based...
Many prognostic systems have been devised to predict the outcome of liver transplantation (LT) candidates. Today, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) is widely used organ allocation, but it has shown some limitations. The aim this study was investigate performance MELD compared 5 different score models. We evaluated ability MELD, modified Child-Turcotte-Pugh, MELD-sodium, United Kingdom updated and integrated in 487 candidates with cirrhosis LT at Bologna Transplant Centre, Bologna,...
Tracheostomy, long-term mechanical ventilation, spinal deformaties are factors that contribute in patients with neuromuscular disorders to the development of an erosion tracheal wall and subsequent formation a tracheo-innominate artery fistula. This condition is fatal unless promptly treated by exclusion innominate artery, which often performed under desperate circumstances. We electively adopted preventive ligation at risk for trachea-innominate fistula (TIF). present seven who underwent...
Aim To evaluate the potential value of using a serological assay to quantitate hepatitis C virus core antigen (HCV-Ag) when monitoring patients with chronic being treated direct-acting antivirals (DAAs). Methods Ninety-six DAAs, either alone (91) or in combination PEG interferon (5), were tested for HCV-RNA and HCV-Ag at baseline weeks 2, 4, 8 12 during treatment after completion. The concordance correlation between viral parameters as well respective kinetics evaluated. Results A sustained...
Aberrant Squamous Cell Carcinoma Antigen (SCCA) expression is an early hepatocarcinogenetic event and circulating SCCA-IgM complexes are elevated in most HCC patients. We evaluated whether serum levels can identify HCV +ve cirrhotic patients at low risk. In this retrospective study we enrolled 29 whom was measured 8 - 69 months (median 31) before diagnosis, 28 who remained HCC- free, with 15 68 48) the end. The best discriminating value of calculated tested predicting diagnosis within 12, 24...
