Abstract Autoimmune enteropathy (AIE) is a rare cause of chronic intractable diarrhea. We report the case 2-month-old infant who presented with diarrhea and significant weight loss. Once clinical stability was achieved, endoscopy allowed AIE to be diagnosed. Ultrasound studies (US) correlated laboratory findings gastrointestinal inflammatory state during course disease. This approach facilitates an appropriate timely therapeutic strategy, immunosuppressive treatment currently representing...
We compared myopathological features in myasthenia gravis (MG) patients with antibodies against AChR (seropositive) and muscle-specific tyrosin-kinase (MuSK). While the immunopathogenesis of seropositive MG is well known, there a lack pathological studies anti-MuSK antibody-positive (MuSK+) MG.We analysed skeletal muscle biopsy 13 patients: 6 MuSK+ (all women) 7 anti-AchR (AChR+) (2 women 5 men). In our histopathological examination, we quantified atrophy factor both fibre types, extent...
Transplantation of an organ from a donor carries unavoidable risk tumor transmission. The need to extend the pool increases use organs donors with malignancies and potential disease transmission is constant tension influencing suitability decisions. Current classification systems for assessment malignancy have evolved reports events in recipients national donation transplant surveillance agencies. Although very low general setting it must constantly be balanced benefits. Guidelines are...
Megalencephaly (MEG), or enlargement of the brain, can either represent a familial variant with normal cerebral structure, rare brain malformation associated developmental delay and neurological problems. MEG has been split into two subtypes: anatomical metabolic. The latter features build-up inside cells owing to metabolic causes. Anatomical detected in many different conditions, including overgrowth syndromes. In 2004 Mirzaa et al. reported five non-consanguineous patients new MCA/MR...
Abstract Surgical resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is burdened with a high recurrence rate and lack of reliable prognostic factors. The aim this study was to integrate the HCC pathological features gene mutations improve role analysis. This monocentric prospective study, including 67 patients resected HCC. All clinical data histological were collected, tumor grade, architecture, margins, microvascular invasion, microscopic portal vascular invasion (MPVI). Next-generation...
The amount of amylose within a food may elicit lower glycemic and insulin postprandial responses thus potentially modulate the satiating effect. In this context, effect biscuits formulated with high starch (HAS) flour on satiety-related sensations intake was studied. Three types were produced: control biscuit (CRT, 0% HAS), Amy-25 (25% Amy-50 (50% HAS). Fifteen healthy volunteers enrolled to conduct two in vivo experiments. experiment 1, consumed ad libitum their satiety evaluated. 2,...
Abstract Objective The aim of our study was to validate the Myasthenia Gravis TeleScore (MGTS), a scale for evaluation MG patients in telemedicine. Introduction COVID-19 pandemic has boosted telemedicine clinical practice. It could be crucial care neurological with chronic disease. However, there is lack validated disease-specific tools evaluate Methods MGTS included ten items divided four districts: ocular, generalized muscular strength, bulbar, and respiratory. Patients were assessed two...
Introduction: The progressive technologies in albumin situ hybridization (ISH) changed the routine application and differential diagnosis of hepatic malignancies last years. aim present work was to assess diagnostic utility ISH on different cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) subtypes, as well how production changes along biliary tree. Methods: Forty-five CCAs were retrospectively selected: 29 intrahepatic (15 small-duct 14 large-duct subtypes), 7 perihilar, 9 extrahepatic. Histology revised all cases,...
To validate the Italian version of Myasthenia Gravis Impairment Index (MGII).MGII is a recent promising measure developed for MG patient evaluation. It includes clinical severity evaluation and patient-reported questionnaire. has been in English demonstrated feasibility, reliability, construct validity. Recently, its Dutch translation validated.MGII was translated to with multi-step forward process. We assessed correlations following scores: Istituto Nazionale Carlo Besta score (INCB-MG),...
