Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) was responsible for a high proportion of cases acute and chronic liver disease in Southern Europe during the 1970s. Some data suggest that by 1990s HDV circulation had substantially declined. We have assessed prevalence infection its clinical impact 834 Italian hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) carriers 1997. Anti-HDV antibodies were sought all consecutive HBsAg observed 14 referral units throughout Italy. Risk factors anti-HDV positivity evaluated. found 69...
PURPOSE Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is a multidimensional method used by geriatricians and oncologists to detect evaluate multiple age-related problems plan coordinate interventions. Because its main drawback the time required, efforts have been made screening instruments suitable for preliminarily assessing elderly patients. The aim of this study was establish accuracy Vulnerable Elders Survey-13 (VES-13) in predicting presence abnormalities revealed CGA. PATIENTS AND METHODS...
Culturing of the sonication fluid removed implants has proven to be more sensitive than conventional periprosthetic tissue culture for microbiological diagnosis prosthetic joint infection. Since bacteria surviving on antibiotic-loaded cement spacers used in a two-stage exchange protocol infected arthroplasties may cause persistence infection, this study we asked whether also could identify at second surgical stage during procedure confirm or not infection had been eradicated.We cultured that...
SUMMARY Background : Interferon‐α plus ribavirin therapy for chronic hepatitis C is associated with adverse effects that lead to discontinuation in up 27% of patients randomized controlled trials. Aim To examine the causes and predictive factors treated current clinical practice. Methods We retrospectively enrolled 441 consecutive patients, scheduled receive interferon‐α + C, five centres. Patients had been 3 or 6 MU three times a week ribavirin, 800–1200 mg daily, 12 months. Results One...
Thirty-two patients affected by SSTIs including DFIs were enrolled between 2013 and 2014. Superficial swab was obtained before after cleansing with sterile saline, ultrasonic debridement; deep tissue biopsy from ulcer base. Samples diluted 1 mL of serial 10-fold dilutions to 10−6 made 50 μL each dilution plated onto appropriate media. Bacteria identified Vitek II system. Microbial load expressed as CFU/mL. Statistical analysis performed χ2. Incidence Gram positives higher than negatives (S....
