Aging is accompanied by physiological changes affecting body composition and functionality, including accumulation of fat mass at the expense muscle mass, with effects upon morbidity quality life. The gut microbiome has recently emerged as a key environmental modifier human health that can modulate healthy aging possibly longevity. However, its associations adiposity in old age are still poorly understood. Here we profiled microbiota well-characterized cohort 201 Italian elderly subjects...
Background. Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) may improve the diagnostic capabilities of CT imaging for invasive mold disease, but its performance relative to other signs (ie, halo sign, hypodense pleural effusion, reversed sign) is unknown. Methods. We prospectively compared CTPA vs findings in 100 patients with hematological malignancies and possible disease defined by EORTC/MSG criteria. After undergoing extensive work-up, were upgraded probable or proven based on...
Summary Objective To retrospectively compare the effectiveness and safety of 1‐year administration transdermal oestradiol ( TE ) with cyproterone acetate CPA or leuprolide (Leu) in transwomen. Design, patients measurements Forty transwomen received 50 mg daily orally n = 20; +E group) Leu at a dose 3·75 i.m. monthly Leu+E combination 1 2 for year. Reproductive hormones, biochemical parameters, body composition bone mineral density were assessed. Results LH , FSH total testosterone levels...
The main aim of this work was to report on trabecular bone score (TBS) by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) healthy Italian subjects be used as a reference standard for future study in clinical and research settings. secondary investigate the link between TBS conventional parameters body composition DXA.250 individuals 5 age bands (spanning from 18 70 years age, equally distributed both sex) were prospectively recruited. A lumbar spine (LS) DXA scan (Lunar iDXA™; GE Healthcare, Madison,...
An extensive analysis of the reliability positron emission tomography (PET) after induction treatment in patients with Hodgkin's disease (HD) or aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). In all, 75 untreated HD (n=41) NHL (n=34) were studied both PET and CT scans following standard chemotherapy therapy (ABVD MACOP-B) with/without radiotherapy. Histopathological was performed when considered necessary. After treatment, four out five (80%) who PET+/CT− relapsed, as compared zero 29 PET−/CT−...
Objective To evaluate the prevalence and scan interpretation criteria useful in identifying non-tumoural 18F-FDG focal uptakes (potential pitfalls) patients who had been previously treated for a malignant lymphoma studied by positron emission tomography (PET). Materials Nine hundred ninety-six consecutive PET scans obtained 706 with were reviewed. All first-line chemo-radiotherapy, plus surgery when required, then FDG to investigate suspected recurrence at doubtful or inconclusive...
Background. Invasive mold diseases (IMDs) of the lung remain a challenge for immunocompromised patients. Although timely diagnosis and treatment are crucial outcome infection, poor sensitivity microbiological techniques limited specificity chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) often delay definitive these infections.
The Mediterranean diet (MD) is widely recommended for the prevention of chronic disease, but evidence a beneficial effect on bone health lacking. aim this study was to examine Mediterranean-like dietary pattern [NU-AGE (New Dietary Strategies Addressing Specific Needs Elderly Population Healthy Aging in Europe)] indexes inflammation with number secondary endpoints, including mineral density (BMD) and biomarkers collagen degradation 1-y multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT; NU-AGE)...
The aim of this work was to examine the cross-sectional relationship between body composition (BC) markers for adipose and lean tissue bone mass, a wide range specific inflammatory adipose-related in healthy elderly Europeans.A whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan made 1121 (65-79 years) women men from five European countries "New dietary strategies addressing needs population aging Europe" project (NCT01754012) cohort measure mass. Pro-inflammatory (IL-6, IL-6Rα, TNF-α,...
