Polyomavirus-associated nephropathy is a leading cause of kidney allograft failure. Therapeutic options are limited and prompt reduction the net state immunosuppression represents mainstay treatment. More recent application aggressive screening management protocols for BK-virus infection after renal transplantation has shown encouraging results. Nevertheless, long-term outcome patients with BK-viremia remains obscure. Risk factors also unclear.To investigate incidence, risk factors,...
COVID-19 epidemic has paralleled with the so called infodemic, where countless pieces of information have been disseminated on putative risk factors for COVID-19. Among those, emerged notion that people suffering from autoimmune diseases (AIDs) a higher SARS-CoV-2 infection.The cohort included all cases residents in Agency Health Protection (AHP) Milan that, beginning outbreak, developed web-based platform traced positive and negative as well related contacts. AIDs subjects were defined ad...
Importance Reducing emergency cancer diagnoses is a public health priority, as they are associated with worse outcomes. Preexisting chronic conditions can influence screening participation and diagnosis; however, evidence mixed, data from Southern Europe scant. Objective To examine variations in the likelihood of colorectal (CRC) diagnosis following an presentation (EP) or by patient comorbidity status socioeconomic characteristics to investigate association characteristics, diagnostic...
Abstract Aims The role of pre-participation screening (PPS) modalities in preventing sudden cardiac death (SCD) athletes is debated due to a high false-positive rate. Focused ultrasound (FoCUS) has shown higher sensitivity and specificity, but its cost-effectiveness remains uncertain. This study aimed determine the diagnostic performance FoCUS use PPS. Methods results A total 2111 (77.4% male, mean age 24.9 ± 15.2years) underwent standardized family medical history collection, physical...
