The association between eosinophilic esophagitis and celiac disease is still controversial its prevalence highly variable. We aimed to investigate the of esophageal eosinophilia in a large group children with disease, prospectively followed over 11 years. Methods: Prospective observational study performed 2008 2019. Celiac diagnosis was based on ESPGHAN criteria. At least four biopsies were sampled patients who underwent endoscopy. presence at 15 eosinophils/HPF considered suggestive...
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) increases risk of dysplasia and colorectal cancer. Advanced endoscopic techniques allow for the detection characterization IBD dysplastic lesions, but specialized training is not widely available. We aimed to develop validate an online platform improve colonic lesions in IBD: OPtical diagnosis Training Improve Characterization Bowel Disease (OPTIC-IBD).
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a Gram negative spiraliform bacterium that colonizes the human stomach. It most common cause of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, and gastric carcinoma. The eradication therapy based on combination proton pump inhibitor several antibiotics such as amoxicillin, metronidazole, clarithromycin, levofloxacin or tetracycline. commonly used regimens for in first line are triple, sequential concomitant therapy, despite last European Guidelines suggesting quadruple...
Direct-acting antivirals are highly effective for the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, regardless race/ethnicity. We aimed to evaluate demographic, virological and clinical data HCV-infected migrants vs. natives consecutively enrolled in PITER cohort.Migrants were defined by country birth nationality that was different from Italy. Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-squared test multiple logistic regression used.Of 10,669 patients, 301 (2.8%) migrants: median age 47 62 years, (p <...
