Endoscopic dilation is considered the best treatment for most cases of benign esophageal stricture, although technique and kind stricture amenable to still controversial. We report on our experience a large series patients treated by without aid fluoroscopy compare results this therapy among with strictures from different causes.Between 1992 1997, we performed 1043 sessions 153 patients. Treatment was adequate if lumen could be dilated up size 42F catheter. If recurred after initial...
Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) selection for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a matter of debate. The Milan criteria (MC) have been largely adopted by the international community. main aim this study was to evaluate survival rates and recurrence probabilities new proposal (up 3 tumors, each no larger than 5 cm, cumulative tumor burden ≤ 10 cm). Patients cirrhosis HCC included on waiting list (WL) from 1991 2006 were retrospectively analyzed. Outcomes in who had tumors...
The epidemiology and clinical characteristics of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in South America are not well known. Brazil is a largest country this part the world present study aimed to contribute with information.This descriptive included patients from medical centers around Brazil, who had diagnosis NAFLD. They were selected chart review also prospectively Hepatology out-clinics. Patients history alcohol intake others diseases excluded. Histological included: steatosis or...
Abstract Background & Aims The burden of liver diseases in the Brazilian population is still unknown. To assess impact on hospital admissions and mortality within framework Unified Health System. Methods An analytical ecological observational study was carried out. Secondary data deaths because disease were collected from System Information Technology Department ( DATASUS ) database, between 2001 2010. All included International Classification Diseases ICD ‐10) reviewed. Results Liver...
Background & AimsGenetic ancestry or racial differences in health outcomes exist diseases associated with systemic inflammation (eg, COVID-19). This study aimed to investigate the association of genetic and race acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF), which is characterized by acute inflammation, multi-organ failure, high risk short-term death.MethodsThis prospective cohort analyzed a comprehensive set data, including among several others, 1274 patients acutely decompensated cirrhosis who...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cancer in world and third cause of death, accounts for 5.6% all cancers. Nearly 82% approximately 550,000 liver deaths each year occur Asia. In some regions, cancer-related death from HCC second only to lung cancer. The incidence mortality are increasing America countries as a result an ageing cohort infected with chronic hepatitis C, expected continue rise consequence obesity epidemic. Clinical care survival patients has advanced...
Liver transplantation (LT) is the treatment of choice for patients with unresectable early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Post-LT HCC recurrence rates range from 8 to 20% and still impact on overall survival (OS). The aim our study was evaluate post-LT analyze prognostic factors among those recurrence.
No prospective study has been published investigating etiology of HCC in Latin America. The primary aim this was to analyze the liver disease patients with from our area. Secondary aims were evaluate staging using Okuda and BCLC classifications; percentage receiving treatment.The Governing Board American Association for Study Liver designed protocol. During a 18 month period, all members invited load their incident cases on line.240 9 countries uploaded, 174 male (72.5%), median age 64...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is defined as a spectrum of diseases ranging from simple steatosis to steatohepatitis (NASH). Alterations in intestinal microbiota and inflammatory response may play key role progression development complications diseases, mainly cirrhosis NASH. The aim this study was perform systematic review on randomized clinical trials (RCTs) testing probiotics, prebiotics or both (synbiotics) the treatment NAFLD adult patients. After screening process, 9...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes liver transplantation. In an attempt to predict their recurrence after transplantation, evaluation tumor number and size, degree histologic differentiation, presence vascular invasion already have importance established. this context, role biologic markers such as alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) still not clear. This retrospective cross-sectional study analyzed AFP relationship with HCC orthotopic The current retrospectively data from 206...
Direct antiviral agents (DAAs) including sofosbuvir (SOF), daclatasvir (DCV), simeprevir (SIM) and ombitasvir, paritaprevir dasabuvir were introduced 2015 in Brazil for treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The aims this study to assess effectiveness safety HCV with DAA real-life world a highly admixed population from Brazil. All Brazilian reference centers invited take part web-based registry, prospectively conducted by the Society Hepatology, outcomes DAAs. Data be collected...
Background and Aims. The presence of dermatologic reaction as an adverse event to sorafenib treatment in patients with unre-sectable hepatocellular carcinoma has been indicated a prognostic factor for survival recent prospective analysis. To date, this is the only clinical predictor response, which can be evaluated earlier and, therefore, contribute better more individualized patient management. Material methods. This retrospective study included 127 treated under real-life practice...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes cancer-related mortality worldwide. The Brazilian Society Hepatology (SBH) published in 2015 its first recommendations about management HCC. Since then, new data have emerged literature, prompting governing board SBH to sponsor a single-topic meeting August 2018 São Paulo. All invited experts were asked make systematic review literature reviewing HCC subjects with cirrhosis. After meeting, all panelists gathered together for...
