Prolonged, 4-day (96 h) measurement by the wireless Bravo system provides an opportunity to assess variance, diagnostic reproducibility, and yield of 24- 48-h pH symptom association studies.Retrospective analysis 83 patients with suspected reflux symptoms undergoing monitoring intention 96-h measurement. Study periods were classified based on esophageal acid exposure, DeMeester score (DMS), events (symptom index). The technical success prolonged recording accuracy 24-, 48-, 72-h studies...
The resistance of Helicobacter pylori strains to clarithromycin is increasing in several developed countries and their association with a genetic pattern circulation has been variously explained as related different geographical areas. In this study we have reported: the prevalence H. pylori, isolated Sicily, clarithromycin; principal point mutation associated resistance; more frequent between cagA, EPIYA motif, vacA oipA genes. Resistance was detected 25% cases, main involved being A2143G....
BACKGROUNDThe effectiveness of colonoscopy strictly depends on adequate bowel cleansing.Recently, a 1 L polyethylene glycol plus ascorbate (PEG-ASC) solution (Plenvu; Norgine, Harefield, United Kingdom) has been introduced the evidence three phase-3 randomized controlled trials, but it had never tested in real-life. AIMTo assess and tolerability preparation compared to 4 2 L-PEG solutions real-life setting. METHODSAll patients undergoing screening or diagnostic after 4, PEG preparation, were...
The antiprotozoan and antifungal agent, the terbinafine, was investigated for its potential activity against Pneumocystis carinii infection of A549 cell line culture on immunosuppressed Sprague Dawley rats in comparison with trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole pentamidine isethionate. Terbinafine suppressed P. growth at doses up to 3 g/L within 24 h it able inhibit cyst forms 60 post inoculation. With respect isethionate organisms decreased same time interval but form elimination less apparent...
An increase in mortality due to accelerated atherosclerosis has been reported patients affected with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Anti-phospholipid antibodies (aPA) may play a pathogenetic role the development of atherosclerosis. We measured carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), as surrogate parameter atherosclerosis, by B-mode ultrasound examination 42 SLE (11 men and 31 women) healthy age- sex-matched subjects. Anticoagulant (LA) (APTT sensitive, silica clotting time, DRVVT),...
The presence of circulating hepatitis C virus genome (HCV- RNA), elevated ALT levels and antibodies to an NS5-derived synthetic peptide have been examined in 13 subjects with isolate positivity for the HCV core antigen (C22) on RIBA-2 testing. All were followed up 8–18 months (mean 12.4 months). In seven (54%), intermittent or persistent viremia was associated abnormal (6 subjects) NS5-peptide subjects). On other hand, 6 out (46%) no viral replication, liver cytonecrosis NS5 found. It is...
INTRODUCTION: The effectiveness of bowel cleansing is essential for a quality colonoscopy since it affects diagnostic accuracy and adenoma detection rate. This study aimed to assess the tolerability NER1006, novel 1L PEG preparation, compared 4 2 L solutions in real-life setting. METHODS: All in- out-patients scheduled screening, surveillance or colonoscopy, after an afternoon only afternoon/morning 1, 4L PEG-based preparation were consecutively enrolled from September 2018 February 2019 5...
Aims This study aimed to assess the difference in bowel cleansing elderly compared younger patients and evaluate independent factors of success.
