Despite treatment, emesis remains a major problem with cisplatin (CDDP) chemotherapy. Reasons for variability in antiemetic response among patients and subsequent cycles are largely unknown toxicity is sometimes severe. We have, therefore, carried out multicenter, double-blind randomized trial comparing combination of high-dose metoclopramide (MTC) (1 mg/kg x 4) methylprednisolone (P) (treatment A) shorter but higher single-dose schedule (3 2) combined dexamethasone (DEX) diphenhydramine...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the leading cause of mortality among cirrhotic patients, often linked to advanced liver disease. This cross-sectional study evaluated nutritional factors, cytokine profiles, function parameters, and survival patients with cirrhosis (LC) HCC. Forty-seven were grouped as LC (n=21) or HCC (n=26). Nutritional status was assessed through anthropometry, bioelectrical impedance analysis, dietary recall, while levels (IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α) biochemical markers (AST,...
The EncephalApp Stroop Test was developed to more easily diagnose minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE). A cut-off of >274.9sec (ONtime+OFFtime) reached a 78% sensitivity and 90% specificity in the validation study, but it has been poorly studied Brazil. We aim analyze usefulness this diagnostic method describe value screen MHE Brazil.In cross-sectional single-center three positive psychometric tests defined diagnosis as gold standard. evaluated gender, age, education, familiarity with...
Aims To describe the experience of a tertiary center for endoscopic treatment early gastrointestinal tumors EGIT using Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) technique.
BACKGROUND. Histological evaluation has a crucial role in diagnosing hepatic diseases and percutaneous liver biopsy (PLB) is widely chosen for this purpose. We aim to describe its indications, the rate severity of adverse events (AEs) an outpatient ultrasound (US)-guided setting over 5 years. METHODS. This observational, single-center, retrospective study included patients submitted PLB between 2015 2019. collected age, gender, coagulation tests, comorbidities, number needle passes. The...
