Duodenal biopsy is the current gold standard for diagnosis of celiac disease. Videocapsule endoscopy examines entire small bowel and allows visualization mucosal villi. We evaluated potential videocapsule in assessing severity extent changes patients with suspected disease.Consecutive signs/symptoms suggesting disease positive anti-gliadin and/or anti-endomysial anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. biopsies were classified according to modified...
Background and Study Aims: Variceal bleeding is a major complication of cirrhosis, associated with 20 % mortality at 6 weeks. Current international guidelines recommend that patients cirrhosis are screened by conventional upper endoscopy (esophagogastroduodenoscopy, EGD) in order to detect esophageal varices. The recently developed PillCam ESO capsule endoscope has been shown be an accurate diagnostic tool the investigation gastroesophageal reflux Barrett's esophagus. We compared EGD for...
The global food supply has been facing increasing challenges during the first decades of 21st century. Disease in plants is an important constraint to worldwide crop production, accounting for 20–40% its annual harvest loss. Although use resistant varieties, good water management and agronomic practices are valid tools counteracting plant diseases, there still many pathosystems where fungicides widely used disease management. However, restrictive regulations concern regarding risk human...
Data about small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) come from studies involving and highly selected populations. The study aim was to describe extent of use, indications, results, complications, practical issues SBCE in clinical practice a Northern Italian Region (Lombardia).Twenty-three out 29 invited centers fulfilled specific questionnaire.Between 2001 2008, 2921 procedures were performed both the number performing (from 5 29) 7.2 69.2 per month) increased steadily. main indications for were:...
The natural compound zosteric acid, or p-(sulfoxy)cinnamic acid (ZA), is proposed as an alternative biocide-free agent suitable for preventive integrative anti-biofilm approaches. Despite its potential, the lack of information concerning structural and molecular mechanism action involved in activity has limited efforts to generate more potent strategies. In this study a 43-member library small molecules based on ZA scaffold diversity was designed screened against Escherichia coli understand...
Recent scientific investigations have shed light on the ecological importance and physiological complexity of subaerial biofilms (SABs) inhabiting lithic surfaces. In field sustainable cultural heritage (CH) preservation, mechanistic approaches aimed at investigation spatiotemporal patterns interactions between biofilm, stone, atmosphere are outstanding importance. However, these proven difficult to explore with experiments due inaccessibility samples, ecosystem under temporal resolution...
Despite the appreciation of role played by outdoor stone heritage in societal well-being and sustainable urban development, research efforts have not been completely successful tackling complex issues related to its conservation. One main problems is that we are continuously underestimating behavior microorganisms form biofilm (subaerial biofilms, SABs) management artifacts. To this end, discuss necessity approaching topic from an ecological perspective through overview characteristics SABs...
Due to their antimicrobial activity, silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) are being increasingly used in a number of industrial products. The accumulation Ag-NPs the soil might affect plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria and, turn, plants. We describe effects on bacteria Azotobacter vinelandii and Bacillus subtilis.In growth-inhibition studies, A. showed extreme sensitivity Ag-NPs, compared B. subtilis. investigated at subinhibitory concentrations, both planktonic sessile subtilis cells. As...
