Cardiac dysfunction has been described in patients with cirrhosis. Conventional echocardiographic methods are frequently unable to detect abnormalities at rest and have limitations. We aimed evaluate cardiac function cirrhosis assessing: (i) left ventricular systolic using speckle-tracking imaging; (ii) diastolic a tissue-Doppler based algorithm comparing it previously proposed definition of (DD).We included 109 hospitalized ambulatory 18 healthy controls. Detailed evaluation was performed...
Clinical and endoscopic remissions constitute the therapeutic goals in ulcerative colitis (UC). Histological healing is currently not a target UC. This study aims to determine impact of definition remission (Mayo subscore [MSe] 0-1) histological activity recurrence UC recurrence-free survival time.Patients with clinical (partial Mayo score ≤ 1) (MSe who underwent colonoscopy biopsies between March 2010 December 2013 were included. The validated Nancy was used evaluate activity, which...
O transtorno bipolar infantil é uma condição psiquiátrica complexa e desafiadora, caracterizada por flutuações extremas de humor, envolvendo episódios mania depressão. tratamento dessa exige combinação psicofarmacoterapia intervenções psicossociais, sendo crucial abordagem cuidadosa devido às diferenças entre o pediátrico adulto. Estabilizadores como lítio, aripiprazol valproato, são frequentemente utilizados, embora perfil eficácia segurança desses medicamentos possa variar as faixas...
According to the Baveno VI consensus, patients with liver stiffness < 20 kPa and a platelet count > 150,000 ul have very low risk of clinically significant varices do not need screening endoscopy. The aim this study was evaluate non-invasive methods as predictors esophageal according recommendations, in real life clinical practice.Retrospective evaluation chronic disease who underwent transient elastography between January 2013 December 2015.One hundred four were included study, median age...
Introduction and aims: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become highly prevalent, paralleling the pandemic of obesity diabetes, represents an important burden.Nutrition knowledge is fundamental, in prevention, evolution treatment NAFLD.Association low serum levels vitamin D (VD) with several diseases, including NAFLD, been emphasized last decade.We evaluated how VD correlate presence hepatic steatosis, intake, a random sample Portuguese adult population.Methods: Participants...
Abstract Background Prevalence of fatty liver (FL) and nonalcoholic disease (NAFLD) depends mainly on obesity, diabetes genetic factors. FL NAFLD prevalence was evaluated in Portuguese adult population correlated with several risk factors related mortality data, within the same period. Materials methods A cross‐sectional, population‐based multicenter study, voluntary randomly selected 834 adults (18‐79 years). Participants were after 12‐hour fasting. Anthropometric past history including...
Background and Aims DUBLIN score allows evaluation of disease activity extent in ulcerative colitis (UC). This study aimed to evaluate as a predictor therapeutic failure well associate endoscopic histological scores assess their joint performance.Methods Retrospective cohort study, with consecutive inclusion patients undergoing total colonoscopy serial biopsies between 2016 2019. (0–9) was calculated the product Mayo (MSe 0–3) by (E1–E3). Histological evaluated through Nancy (0–4). Activity...
Erysipelas is a bacterial disease caused by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae that affects multiple mammalian and avian species. In poultry, the of sporadic prevalence more often observed in older birds, leading to decreased egg production mortality. Among species, turkey breeders seem be most affected, but outbreaks have been reported ducks, layer chickens, quails, geese, various captive free-range birds. Sixty-seven cases erysipelas diagnosed animals submitted for necropsy evaluation at...
Background and aims: Piecemeal endoscopic mucosal resection (pEMR) allows of larger non-invasive colorectal lesions. Adenoma recurrence is an important limitation occurs in ≤20%. The present study aimed to validate the Sydney EMR tool (SERT) score as a predictor both histologic evaluate interobserver agreement adenoma based on scar assessment, among nonexperts EMR.Methods: Retrospective cohort cross-sectional study, which all patients submitted pEMR tertiary care center Portugal, between...
In this short article we describe the relations between vitamin D and diabetes, also summarize facts connecting deficiency of Vitamin cardiovascular disease, mainly in patients with renal disease.
sarcopenia, frailty and malnutrition are associated with adverse outcomes in liver cirrhosis. Studies assessing the prognostic value of these conditions ambulatory patients cirrhosis scarce.
