To investigate the relationships between visceral obesity and hepatic steatosis in obese patients undergoing adjustable silicone gastric banding with LAP-BAND.Six premenopausal, morbidly women an ultrasonographic diagnosis of liver were evaluated before surgery 8 24 weeks after surgery. Liver volume body fat distribution simultaneously analyzed by total-body multislices magnetic resonance imaging.Before surgery, only variable found to be correlated was adipose tissue (r = 0.91; p < 0.01)....
There is controversy whether taking β-blockers or ACE inhibitors (ACEI) a risk factor for more severe systemic insect sting reactions (SSR) and it increases the number severity of adverse events (AE) during venom immunotherapy (VIT).In this open, prospective, observational, multicenter trial, we recruited patients with history SSR indication VIT. The primary objective study was to evaluate ACEI show AE VIT compared without such treatment.In total, 1,425 were enrolled performed in 1,342...
Mixed cryoglobulinaemia (MC) is a chronic small-vessel vasculitis. Shortly after the discovery of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in 1989, an association between HCV infection and MC was being increasingly reported, suggesting potential pathogenetic implication most cases that had been previously diagnosed as essential MC. A number studies have pointed out prognostic factors linked to mortality this disorder. None them, however, clarified impact on natural history disease. The aim present study...
Abstract Background Patients (pts) with advanced heart failure (HF) are poorly tolerant to GDMT, frequently hospitalized and often carriers of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) or cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT-D). These devices allow HF centers remotely monitor the occurrence arrhythmic events ICD interventions, such as anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP) bursts DC-shocks. While hospitalizations an established prognostic marker, role remote monitoring in a context pts referred...
The safety profile of venom immunotherapy (VIT) is a relevant issue and considerable differences in efficacy VIT have been reported. primary aim this study was to evaluate the ACE inhibitors beta-blockers during VIT, which has already published. For second analysis, data concerning premedication preparations relation systemic adverse events (AE) up-dosing phase first year maintenance were evaluated as well outcome field stings sting challenges.The conducted an open, prospective,...
Objective. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) are a rare population of circulating involved in vascular homeostasis. Our aim was to analyze EPC patients with mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC). Methods. were evaluated by cytometry according guidelines the International Society for Hematotherapy and Graft Engineering 17 MC 36 controls. Results. Numbers significantly increased compared controls correlated cryocrit, but not clinical manifestations disease. Conclusion. The high number might indicate an...
