Objective The engagement of the gut microbiota in development symptoms and complications diverticular disease has been frequently hypothesised. Our aim was to explore colonic immunocytes, metabolome patients with a descriptive, cross-sectional, pilot study. Design Following colonoscopy biopsy questionnaire phenotyping, were classified into diverticulosis or symptomatic uncomplicated disease; asymptomatic subjects served as controls. Mucosal region unaffected sites, quantified...
Sarcopenia and myosteatosis are common in patients with cirrhosis. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of these muscle changes, their interrelations prognostic impact over a 12-month period.
Hepatic haemangiomas are the most common benign tumours of liver and commonly present as incidental findings on sonographic examination abdomen. Since little is known natural course these tumours, we performed a clinical follow up 123 haemangioma patients. Our prospective study investigated in 158 for periods 12 to 60 months. Ninety nine measured less than 2 cm had an echogenic pattern; 40 were between 5 with mainly structure; 19 greater showed mixed echo pattern. At first only eight...
To evaluate gallstone incidence and risk factors in a large population-based study.Gallstone factors, were evaluated by structured questionnaire physical examination, respectively, 9611 of 11 109 (86.5%) subjects who gallstone-free at the cross-sectional study.Six centers throughout Italy enrolled (5477 males, 4134 females, aged 30-79 years), 9517 whom included into analysis: 424 (4.4%) had gallstones 61 (0.6%) been cholecystectomized yielding cumulative 0.67% per year (0.66% 0.81% females)....
The statements produced by the Consensus Conference on Diverticular Disease promoted GRIMAD (Gruppo Italiano Malattia Diverticolare, Italian Group Diseases) are reported. Topics such as epidemiology, risk factors, diagnosis, medical and surgical treatment of diverticular disease (DD) in patients with uncomplicated complicated DD were reviewed a scientific board experts who proposed 55 graded according to level evidence strength recommendation, approved an independent jury. Each topic was...
The knowledge of natural history is essential for disease management. We evaluated the (e.g. frequency and characteristics symptoms clinical outcome) gallstones (GS) in a population-based cohort study.A total 11 229 subjects (6610 men, 4619 women, age-range: 29-69 years, mean age: 48 years) were studied. At ultrasonography, GS present 856 (338 455 women) (7.1%). followed by means questionnaire inquiring about specific biliary symptoms.At enrollment, 580 (73.1%) patients asymptomatic, 94...
In Brief Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of preoperative liver stiffness (LS) measurement in predicting postoperative failure (PLF) after hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Background: Hepatectomy HCC cirrhosis is affected by risk PLF, which not completely predictable with common biochemical tests. Transient elastography FibroScan used to calculate degree LS, and it may be applicable patients scheduled estimate perioperative complications. Methods: Ninety-two undergoing were...
Noninvasive markers would be useful for the assessment of portal hypertension (PH) and esophageal varices (EV) in patients with cirrhosis. The aim our study was to evaluate performance indocyanine green (ICG) retention test as a noninvasive marker PH EV, measured against gold standards (hepatic venous pressure gradient [HVPG] measurement upper endoscopy). We prospectively enrolled compensated cirrhosis referral unit. All underwent laboratory tests, abdominal ultrasound, gastrointestinal...
The Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) advanced stage (BCLC C) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) includes a heterogeneous population, where sorafenib alone is the recommended treatment. In this study, our aim was to assess treatment and overall survival (OS) BCLC C patients subclassified according clinical features (performance status [PS], macrovascular invasion [MVI], extrahepatic spread [EHS] or MVI + EHS) determining their allocation stage. From Italian database, we analyzed 835...
