The liver transplantation (LT) population is aging, with the need for transplant being driven by growing prevalence of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Older LT recipients NASH may be at an increased risk adverse outcomes after LT. Our objective to characterize in these a large multicenter cohort. All primary ≥65 years from 2010 2016 13 centers Re‐Evaluating Age Limits Transplantation (REALT) consortium were included. Of 1023 recipients, 226 (22.1%) over 70 old, and 207 (20.2%) had NASH....
Introduction: We aimed to assess the impact of socio-economic determinants health (SEDH) on survival disparities within and between ethnic groups young-onset (<50 years age) colorectal adenocarcinoma patients. Patients Methods: Surveillance, epidemiology, end results (SEER) registry was used identify patients aged 25–49 from 2012 2016. Survival analysis performed using Kaplan–Meir method. Cox proportional hazards model determine hazard effect SEDH. American community survey (ACS) data...
Introduction: Acute hepatitis C has been increasing in incidence recently the USA. Traditional management with peg IFN α2a and weight based RBV had equivocal success SVR rates as low 30% some studies considerable side events. Recently oral DAA's have achieved exceeding 95% many cohorts. This clinical pilot study evaluates efficacy of Sofosbuvir (SOF) Ledipasvir (LDV) or Simeprevir (SIM) acute Hepatitis Methods: 29 patients a diagnosis (negative past HCV antibody + new onset RNA) were...
Colon cancer is one of the leading cancers in both men and women across globe. The incidence especially high developed countries urban settings. Colonoscopy has been established procedure for screening early detection colon cancer. This involves insertion a colonoscope with video camera to examine inner lining suspicious polyps growths which may develop into requires two days elaborate patient preparation cleanse any residual matter obstruct procedure. also air distended expand it clear...
Introduction: Human Intestinal spirochetosis is defined as presence of spirochetes attached to the surface intestinal mucosa. comprise a heterogeneous group bacteria. In humans, Brachyspira aalborgi and pilosicoli predominate. primarily reported in developing countries rare places with high living standards. Immunocompromised patients homosexuals are at higher risk for colonization invasive human spirochetosis. Patients can be asymptomatic or present diarrhea, abdominal pain, hematochezia...
Introduction: Acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) is a rare complication of orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) with estimated 75-85% mortality. GVHD common an allogeneic bone-marrow transplant.Incidence aGVHD in OLT about 0.1% and presents rash, fever, diarrhea, pancytopenia. Diagnosis difficult given the non-specific symptoms, overlapping infections,drug reactions patients on immunosuppression. Mortality associated bone marrow failure. Early diagnosis treatment are vital to survival....
Introduction: Chronic Hepatitis C (CHC) is global epidemic in USA with a prevalence of 2.8%with an incidence 3.3% end-stage renal disease (ESRD) hemodialysis (HD) population. CHC ERSD HD has significant higher fibrotic state and accelerated cirrhosis decompensation rate hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The mortality hazard ratio chronic hepatitis ESRD on relative risk death 1.79% post transplant graft failure is1. 56%. Prior DAA's Interferon Ribavirin achieved 63% SVR 48 weeks Methods:...
Introduction: The prevalence and concomitant treatment of chronic HCV IBD has not been elucidated. CHC >20 years duration may have more fibrosis due to immune suppression. Treatment often requires biological therapies achieve longer disease-free remission, which further accelerates higher replication. Thus effective therapy for patients requiring immunosuppressive is needed. To evaluate the role efficacy new NS5A + NS5B inhibitors with without RBV in treating moderate severe biologic...
Introduction: CHC is no longer a clinical challenge in the era of DAA's. and SCD contributes added challenges (sickle cell hepatopathy, splenic dysfunction, accelerated fibrosis secondary to anemia, iron overload LPS induced mitochondrial injury). Historical management with IFN RBV causes fatal hemolysis, severe anemia sepsis. This study evaluates safety, efficacy eradication hepatitis C this sub-group population Methods: 24 patients were recruited from three sickle centers NYC. Inclusion...
