To evaluate the performance of 2D shear-wave elastography from General Electric (2D-SWE.GE) for noninvasiveassessment liver fibrosis and to identify stiffness (LS) cut-off values predicting different stages fibrosisusing Transient Elastography (TE) as reference method.We included 331 consecutive subjectswith or without chronic hepatopathies in whom LS was evaluated same session by means 2 elastographic techniques:TE 2D-SWE.GE. Reliable measurements were defined TE median value 10 with a...
In many countries, preterm birth, defined as birth before 37 completed weeks of gestation, is the primary cause infant death and morbidity. An increasing body research suggests that inflammation (both clinical subclinical) plays a significant role in inducing labor or developing pregnancy problems lead to premature birth. Consequently, purpose this was determine predictive value Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), derived (dNLR), Monocytes-to-Lymphocyte (MLR), Platelets-to-Lymphocyte (PLR),...
Background: Acute pancreatitis is a common condition with variable prognosis. While the overall mortality rate of acute relatively low, ranging between 3 and 5% in most cases, severe forms can result significantly higher morbidity mortality. Therefore, early risk assessment crucial for optimizing management treatment. The aim present study wasto compare simple prognostic markers identify best predictors severity patients pancreatitis. Material Methods: A retrospective analysis was carried...
Almost one-third of all malignant melanoma patients exhibit emotional stress indicating the need for professional care. Considering this, patients’ psychological needs are routinely overlooked and unfulfilled, even though there is substantial evidence that therapies may enhance psychosocial outcomes patients, such as low mood, sadness, anxiety. Among developing countries some health systems in developed regions, lack awareness screening methods skin cancer creates a high risk issues...
Background and Objectives: Liver cancer poses a significant global health threat, ranking among the top three causes of cancer-related deaths. Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) often present symptoms associated neoplasms or unusual clinical features such as paraneoplastic syndromes (PNS), including hypoglycemia, hypercholesterolemia, thrombocytosis, erythrocytosis. Our study aimed to investigate prevalence, characteristics, survival outcomes PNS in HCC patients assess each PNS’s...
Acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a typical medical emergency, with an incidence of 84 to 160 cases per 100,000 individuals and mortality rate approximately 10%. This study aimed identify all UGIB hospitalized in tertiary gastroenterology department, possible predictive factors involved rebleeding mortality, potential associations between different elements the severity bleeding, differences digestive hemorrhage due nonvariceal variceal bleeding. was observational,...
Background and Objectives: Acute cholangitis (AC) is still lethal if not treated promptly effectively. Biliary drainage, also known as source control, has been acknowledged the backbone treatment for patients with AC; nonetheless, antimicrobial therapy allows these to undergo non-emergent drainage procedures. This retrospective study aims observe bacterial species involved in AC analyze resistance patterns. Materials Methods: Data were collected four years, comparing benign malignant bile...
In response to rising concerns over multidrug resistance patterns in acute cholangitis patients, this retrospective study was conducted at the Emergency County Hospital Timisoara, Romania, encompassing patients treated between August 2020 and 2023. The aimed investigate influence of prior interventions, specifically sphincterotomy (with or without stent placement), on current clinical microbiological profiles patients. By differentiating with a history endoscopic retrograde...
Background and Objectives: Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is intricately linked with dysregulation of lipid metabolism. In particular, cholesterol plays a crucial role in HCV replication. Direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) therapy has revolutionized the treatment landscape, achieving high rates sustained virological response (SVR). However, viral clearance comes some alterations lipid-related markers. This prospective study aimed to evaluate impact on homeostasis non-invasive...
Esophageal diverticula are uncommon; however, when present, they can cause symptoms of dysphagia, regurgitation, and chest pain. Based on location pathophysiological characteristics, classified as pulsion- traction-type diverticula. In the past, open surgical approach was only treatment available; in past few decades, transoral incisionless approaches form rigid flexible endoscopy have gained popularity. Diverticular peroral endoscopic myotomy has emerged an alternative option. this paper,...
Introduction: There is currently a lack of published data on kidney elasticity and viscosity. Non-invasive techniques, such as two-dimensional shear-wave elastography (2D-SWE PLUS) viscosity plane-wave ultrasound (Vi PLUS), have surfaced new detection methods, which, thanks to efficient processing software, are expected improve renal stiffness measurements. This study aims be the first one assess normal range values in function subjects investigate factors that impact them. Methods: We...
Background and Objectives: Diminutive polyps present a unique challenge in colorectal cancer (CRC) prevention strategies. This study aims to assess the characteristics variables of diminutive Romanian cohort, intending develop combined resect-and-retrieve or resect-and-discard strategy that reduces need for an optical diagnosis. Materials Methods: A prospective cohort was conducted at two endoscopy centers Romania from July December 2021. Adult patients undergoing colonoscopies where were...
The gallbladder (GB) is a susceptible organ, prone to various pathologies that can be identified using different imaging techniques. Transabdominal ultrasound (TUS) typically the initial diagnostic method due its numerous well-established advantages. However, in cases of uncertainty or when definitive diagnosis cannot established, computed tomography (CT) magnetic resonance may employed provide more detailed information. Nevertheless, CT scans sometimes offer inadequate spatial resolution,...
The aim of this study was to assess the impact COVID-19 infection on patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis (DLC) in terms acute-on-chronic failure (ACLF), chronic acute decompensation (CLIF-AD), hospitalization, and mortality. In retrospective study, we analyzed known DLC who were admitted Gastroenterology Department COVID-19. Clinical biochemical data obtained compare development ACLF, CLIF-AD, days presence independent factors mortality comparison a non-COVID-19 group. All enrolled...
