The aim of the study was to characterise gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). 40 consecutive IPF patients underwent high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan and impedance-pH monitoring while off antisecretory therapy. presence assessed using validated HRCT scores. Reflux features included distal oesophageal acid exposure, number acid/weakly acidic episodes their proximal migration. with interstitial lung disease other than (non-IPF patients) 50...
Rationale: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a rare, irreversible, and progressive disease of the lungs. Common genetic variants, in addition to nongenetic factors, have been consistently associated with IPF. Rare variants identified by candidate gene, family-based, exome studies also reported associate However, extent which rare genome-wide, may contribute risk IPF remains unknown. Objectives: We used whole-genome sequencing investigate role on risk. Methods: As part Trans-Omics for...
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection induces variable dermatologic manifestations. Our purpose was to determine whether there is an association between HCV and oral lichen planus (OLP).Antibodies were determined in patients with OLP (263 patients; 156 women 107 men, a mean age of 55.5 years) control population.Seventy six cases (28.8%) positive for antibodies the second-generation enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA II) test. All these confirmed recombinant immunoblot (RIBA In 61 (23.1%),...
Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infections are difficult to treat and a significant public health threat due intrinsic/acquired resistance limited treatment options.A retrospective, observational cohort study in patients receiving cefiderocol via Shionogi's early access program for spp (1 April 2020-30 2021; 27 sites; Italy, Spain, Germany, France). Primary outcome was clinical success, defined as resolution of infection at day 14 or 28 survival.Overall, 147 were included. sites...
Acute and chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP CEP) include a group of rare interstitial lung diseases characterized by peripheral blood eosinophilia, increased eosinophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, or infiltration parenchyma. AEP is rapid onset, fast response to steroid treatment, no relapse. CEP marked tissue therapy, tendency disease recurrence. In addition, we briefly describe other that must be considered differential diagnosis CEP. Eosinophilic pneumonias may idiopathic due known...
Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a common presentation to the Emergency Department (ED). This study aimed analyze accuracy of ultrasound (US) in diagnosing and staging SBO.The main object this was SBO compared CT.Retrospectively, stable patients with an ultrasonographic diagnosis who underwent abdominal CT immediately after US before receiving naso-intestinal decompression, were included. criteria for related morphological functional findings. made if fluid-filled dilated small loops...
Ultrasound (US) is highly accurate in the diagnosis of small bowel obstruction (SBO). Because indications for and timing surgical intervention SBO have changed over past several decades, there a widespread assumption that majority patients with simple may be conservatively managed; this scenario, staging crucial. This study evaluated association between morphological functional US signs (simple, decompensated complicated), associations prevalence correlated clinical or outcome. The were...
Purpose: We aimed to assess the role of lung ultrasound (LUS) in diagnosis and prognosis SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia, by comparing it with High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT). Patients methods: All consecutive patients laboratory-confirmed infection hospitalized COVID Centers were enrolled. LUS HRCT carried out on all expert operators within 48−72 h admission. A four-level scoring system computed 12 regions chest was used categorize imaging, from 0 (absence visible alterations ultrasound) 3...
Background: Understanding the level of patients’ satisfaction with treatment and its determinants have potential to impact therapeutic management clinical outcome in chronic conditions such as obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: A national, multicenter, longitudinal, observational study COPD from 20 Italian centers explore [assessed by Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire, 9 items (TSQM-9)] association parameters [including dyspnea score, Assessment Test (CAT) exacerbation rate],...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) refers to a group of widely diffuse diseases that cause airflow blockage characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, chronic cough, recurrent wheezing, sputum production, and progressive restricted associated with exacerbations. COPD is the third leading death worldwide can only be treated not cured. Pulmonary function tests do permit identification initial airways disease. Forced expiratory flow (FEF25-75), which calculates...
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare mesenchymal subepithelial originating from abnormal proliferation of interstitial cells Cajal, with worldwide incidence about 1–2 per 100,000. Herein, we report an unusual case a 55-year-old man who presented severe digestive hemorrhage as post-surgical complication after intestinal GIST surgical removal. The patient was admitted to the Emergency Department our center affected by abdominal epigastric pain. Different imaging techniques were...
Positron emission tomography (PET) in combination with computed (PET-CT) is commonly used to identify malignant lesion the lung. Despite there being only a few reports literature, PET-CT imaging may have many advantages study of sarcoidosis, useful diagnosis as well monitoring response treatment. The object this case report highlight clinical utility integrated for evaluation patients systemic sarcoidosis and comparing baseline findings follow-up readings.
