Objective Systemic inflammation predisposes acutely decompensated (AD) cirrhosis to the development of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). Supportive treatment can improve AD patients, becoming recompensated. Little is known about outcome patients recompensated after AD. We hypothesise that different inflammasome activation involved in ACLF compensated and patients. Design 249 with cirrhosis, divided into (previous AD), were followed prospectively for fatal development. Two external...
We assess the impact of geopolitical risk and world uncertainty on sovereign debt 26 European Economies during period 1984–2022, through implementation OLS-Fixed Effects regressions Generalized Method Moments (GMM). find that tensions global in border countries contribute to rise country's as measured by 5- 10-year Credit Default Swaps (CDS) bond returns. Moreover, this interconnection is more pronounced turbulent times such subprime crisis. Lastly, we found other country' groups South...
Abstract Background & Aims Acute‐on‐chronic liver failure (ACLF) is characterized by high short‐term mortality and systemic inflammation (SI). Recently, different cardiodynamic states were shown to independently predict outcomes in cirrhosis. The relationship between states, SI, portal hypertension their impact on ACLF development remains unclear. aim of this study was therefore evaluate the interplay state SI fatal Results At inclusion, hemodynamic measures including cardiac index (CI)...
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a common cause of cardiovascular deaths. It may be caused by primary electrical diseases, cardiomyopathies, myocarditis, valvular heart or coronary artery disease (including acute syndrome). Coronary vasospasm defined as transient total subtotal obstruction, associated with angina symptoms and ischemic findings on electrocardiogram (ECG). myocardial infarction, life-threatening arrhythmias, atrioventricular block, SCD. A 55-year-old man presented to the hospital...
There is reasonable concern that self-reported nutrition assessments do not reflect actual food choices. Yet, a correspondence between both imperative to evaluate any intervention on preferences. This paper makes such comparison. It provides evidence from low-carbohydrate education program, which assessed with surveys and an incentivized behavioral measure of choice. The main result there large survey measures for our sample 95 women two historically underprivileged communities in the...
Acute deterioration of liver cirrhosis (e.g., infections, acute-on-chronic failure [ACLF]) requires an increase in cardiac contractility. The insufficiency to respond these situations could be deleterious. Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV-GLS) has been shown reflect left contractility better than other parameters and might bear prognostic value. Therefore, this retrospective study investigated the role LV-GLS outcome after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS)...
Acknowledging the potential detrimental impact that twin-deficits can have on sovereign risk, this study uses a two-step approach to assess of fiscal and external sustainability risk dynamics for panel 27 European economies from Q4 2001 Q3 2022. We first estimate country-specific time-varying measure sustainability, based cointegration between government revenues expenditures derived exports imports. then use these coefficients their proxied by 10-year CDS spreads (against US), employing...
The increasing financial burden associated with diabetes treatment presents a challenge to healthcare systems worldwide. Recently, clinical guidelines have focussed on patients type 2 (T2D) and established cardiovascular disease (CVD) recommend sodium-glucose co-transporter (SGLT2) inhibitor or glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist as second-line after metformin independently of baseline glycated haemogloblin A1c (HbA1c). In Danish guidelines, empagliflozin liraglutide are...

In this article, we study the effects of geopolitical risks and world uncertainty on time-varying fiscal external sustainability coefficients. We use Schlicht's (2021) methodology to estimate coefficients for EU 27 economies between 2001Q4 2022Q3. While derive from government revenues expenditures relationship, were computed exports' responses changes in imports. Our results show that are always associated with lower sustainability, although a stronger effect when took into consideration...
Pericardial effusion represents a diagnostic challenge. Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD), though rare cause, should be considered in the differential diagnosis. An 88-year-old woman was admitted to hospital due retrosternal pain, dyspnoea and constitutional symptoms. Hypoxaemic respiratory failure increased inflammatory markers were documented. A chest x-ray revealed an cardiothoracic ratio. echocardiogram showed moderate-volume pericardial effusion, without signs of cardiac tamponade....
Dental-implant-supported reconstructions provide comfort and improvements in prosthetic function, adaptation, stability over conventional treatment options. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect different denture cleansing solutions their influence on deterioration loss retention overdenture attachments a 12-month clinical-use simulation. In way, ten specimens each brands retentive caps made Teflon (OT Equator® (Rhein83, Bologna, Italy), Locator® (Zest Anchors, Escondido,...
Abstract Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the inter- and intra-observer variabilities in cervical length (CL) measurement by transvaginal ultrasound (TVU) first second trimesters pregnancy. Materials methods: A total 55 singleton pregnant women were evaluated or ultrasound. Each patient blindly three four observers who performed measurements each. Results: In trimesters, patients at 12.3 weeks (mean) 21.3 (mean), respectively. intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC)...
BACKGROUND: To analyze whether pre-exercise CHO+PRO vs. CHO intake distinctly influences running performance and metabolic biomarkers along a various of exercise intensities.METHODS: In randomized, double blind, counterbalanced, crossover placebo control design, 10 middle distance runners were tested in 3 occasions. After h fasting, participants ingested isovolumic beverages (0.75+0.25g·BW-1 CHO+PRO, 1.0g·BW-1 control) 30 min before treadmill incremental protocol 4 steps until exhaustion....
