Abstract A case‐control study involving interviews with 1,016 gastric cancer (GC) patients and 1,159 population‐based controls in high‐ low‐risk areas was conducted to evaluate dietary factors their contribution the marked geographic variation mortality from this within Italy. Risks of GC were found vary significantly estimated nutrient in‐take. Risk rose increasing consumption nitrites protein, decreased proportion intake ascorbic acid, beta‐carotene, alpha‐tocopherol, vegetable fat. The...
Autoimmune sensorineural hearing loss (ASNHL) is a relatively rare disorder which can lead to total deafness. At present, no specific laboratory test with adequate sensitivity and specificity available confirm the clinical suspicion of ASNHL. The aim this study was identify if evaluation anti-hsp70 antibodies an accurate diagnostic tool in patients affected by ASNHL.Prospective study.During 4-year (2001-2005), all SNHL who were referred Eye, Ear, Nose Throat Department Parma University,...
To investigate the clinical significance of procalcitonin (PCT) elevation on hospital admission for coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) and its association with mortality in oldest old patients (age > 75 years).The records 1074 chest high-resolution computed-tomography (HRCT) positive interstitial pneumonia symptoms compatible COVID-19, hospitalized medical wards during first pandemic wave a single academic center Northern Italy, were retrospectively analyzed. All had serum PCT testing...
Abstract Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a very frequent condition, affecting most people at some point throughout their life. This cross-sectional study was aimed to investigate selected panel of cytokines and inflammatory biomarkers in patients with or without LBP. Methods: The population consisted 104 diagnosed LBP (52 non-persistent 52 persistent) healthy subjects no Blood samples were collected for assessment adiponectin, leptin, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) C reactive...
Background: The use of mobile phones has been associated with an increased risk developing certain type cancer, especially in long term users. Therefore, this study was aimed to investigate the potential genotoxic effect phone radiofrequency exposure on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells vitro. Methods: population consisted 14 healthy volunteers. After collection two whole samples, former placed a plastic rack, 1 cm from chassis commercial (900 MHz carrier frequency), which activated...
The presence in the serum of specific autoantibodies, such as antinuclear antibodies (ANA), anti‐double‐stranded DNA (anti‐dsDNA), and antiextractable nuclear antigens (anti‐ENA), is one diagnostic criteria for autoimmune rheumatic disease, requests these tests last few years have grown remarkably. A guideline reducing clinically inappropriate autoantibody testing (ANA, anti‐dsDNA, anti‐ENA) has been applied Parma Hospital since 2007. results period January–December 2007 were compared to...
The aim of this work was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy three different analytical methods for detection antineuronal antibodies and outline how they might be used diagnose Paraneoplastic Neurological Syndromes (PNS) in a more effectively rationally way. One hundred four patients with neurological diseases were studied: 38 paraneoplastic disorder, 44 other diseases, 22 systemic autoimmune disorders. 20 healthy subjects 18 tumour without disorders also studied. Antineuronal tested using...
Although physical exercise acutely increases the most widely used inflammatory biomarkers, there is no information on its effect soluble urokinase plasminogen activating receptor (suPAR), a circulating biomarker increasingly for assessment of systemic inflammation.suPAR was assessed with quantitative suPARnostic Standard ELISA Assay (Virogates, Birkerød, Denmark) in 12 professional football players before and after match. The athletes were divided into two experimental groups. An oral dose...
The laboratory diagnostics of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) have substantially improved, thanks to innovative analytical opportunities, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and multiple immunodot liver profile tests, based on recombinant or purified antigens. This study aimed identify the best diagnostic test combination optimize PBC diagnosis. Between January 2014 March 2017, 164 patients were recruited at hospitals Parma, Modena, Reggio-Emilia, Piacenza. Antinuclear...
The potential proliferative activity of primary gastric cancer was determined using the in vitro tritiated thymidine labeling index (LI) technique.The rate had a wide range (0.1-28.4%) with median value 9.3%. cell kinetics tumor were not related to clinicopathologic features, such as patient's age and sex or tumor's histologic type stage. contribution prognosis investigated series 28 patients (median follow-up, 34 months). 3-year survival 50% for slowly proliferating tumors compared only 13%...
