INTRODUCTION: The Baveno VI consensus guidelines and an expanded algorithm suggest that transient elastography (TE) platelet (PLT) count can be used to identify patients with cirrhosis who avoid esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). primary aims of this study were assess the ability a simple algorithm, which uses only laboratory parameters, predict medium/large esophageal varices (EV) in hepatitis C virus (HCV) from Rete Sicilia Selezione Terapia–HCV (RESIST-HCV) cohort compare performance...
The correlation between liver stiffness, measured by transient elastography, fibrosis, using the histological METAVIR score, and iron overload, atomic absorption spectrometry was evaluated in 56 homozygous-beta-thalassaemics. Liver stiffness increased proportionally to fibrosis staging (r = 0.70; P > 0.001) independently of concentration 0.01; 0.932). area under receiver-operating characteristic curve for prediction cirrhosis 0.997 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.925-1.000) with cut-off 13...
In hepatitis B virus (HBV) cirrhosis patients on long-term lamivudine (LAM), the relationships between HBV suppression, development of viral resistance and disease outcome are unclear. We analysed dynamic serum HBV-DNA its relationship with clinical course 59 (52 males, mean age 51.4 +/- 8.4 years, 12 HBeAg positive 47 negative, 57 genotype D two A) (45 in Child-Turcotte-Pugh class high levels (median 14.7 x 10(7) genomes/ml) treated LAM [median (range): 44 (15-78) months]. A total 50...
viral clearance independently of dosage the drug.This may be due to its scarce tolerability.
Background: Therapy of chronic hepatitis C non‐ responders to interferon monotherapy with standard doses plus ribavirin is usually ineffective. Aim: To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability high‐dose prolonged combination retreatment in responder patients. Methods: Patients were retreated for 6 months MU αIFN on alternate days 1000 or 1200 mg/day ribavirin. HCV‐RNA negative patients continued therapy an additional months. Results: Forty (29 males, mean age 49.7 years, 34 genotype 1b, 11 F3...
Maintenance programming of civil and industrial buildings is a relevant problem, especially in global situation where natural resources are increasingly limited. Accurately knowing the durability building products components, essential for sustainable use resources, becomes more important after recent 18 January 2011 resolution European Parliament, which introduced seventh requirement on construction products, specifically regarding sustainability therefore such. This study concerns...
Today, in a world context characterized by high pollution levels and increasingly limited natural resources, even the building sector, focusing on environmental issues, through energy saving more rational use of these both during construction management, is fundamental. An important contribution this direction given knowledge durability products components, especially when innovative are applied no information available reliability service life. The research concerns evaluation cement-based...
