OBJECTIVE To individuate a novel sex-specific index, based on waist circumference, BMI, triglycerides, and HDL cholesterol, indirectly expressing visceral fat function. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Visceral adiposity index (VAI) was first modeled 315 nonobese healthy subjects. Using two multiple logistic regression models, VAI retrospectively validated in 1,498 primary care patients comparison to classical cardio- cerebrovascular risk factors. RESULTS All components of metabolic syndrome...
Purpose To compare whole‐body MRI (WB‐MRI) with diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI), FDG‐PET/CT, and bone marrow biopsy (BMB), for the evaluation of involvement (BMI) in patients newly diagnosed lymphoma. Materials Methods This retrospective study was approved by our Institutional Review Board. Two independent radiologists one nuclear medicine specialist reviewed all WB‐MRI FDG‐PET/CT scans prospectively performed on 104 lymphoma (53 males; 47 Hodgkin; mean age: 44 years; range, 15–86 years)...
Objective: The aim of this prospective clinical study is to compare short-term outcome laparoscopic right hemicolectomy using the Complete Mesocolic Excision (CME group) with patients who underwent conventional right-sided colonic resection (NCME group). Summary Background Data: Although CME central vascular ligation in associated a significant decrease local recurrence rates and improvements cancer-related 5-year survival, there may be additional risks technique because increased surgical...
Abstract Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the standard technique for treatment of gallbladder disease. In case acute cholecystitis we can identify preoperative factors associated with an increased risk conversion and intraoperative complications. The aim our study was to detect laboratory radiological findings predictive difficult LC potential advantages both surgeons patients in terms options management. We designed a retrospective case–control compare treated emergency setting between...
In the recent pandemic disease, called COVID-19, role of neurologists and neurobiologists represents a chance to study key features brain infection deepen neurological manifestations COVID-19 other coronavirus infections. fact, many studies suggest damage during persistent symptoms after infection. Reverse transcription PCR test, antibody tests, Computed Tomography (CT) lung, Magnetic Resonance (MR) patient were periodically performed this case report for eight months The aim article is...
Efforts in the fight against COVID-19 are achieving success many parts of world, although progress remains slow other regions. We believe that a syndemic approach needs to be adopted address this pandemic given strong apparent interplay between COVID-19, its related complications, and socio-structural environment. have assembled an international, multidisciplinary group researchers clinical practitioners promote novel COVID-19: CArdiometabolic Panel International experts on Syndemic COvid-19...
Entrapment neuropathies at the elbow are common in clinical practice and require an accurate diagnosis for effective management. Understanding imaging characteristics of these conditions is essential confirming diagnoses identifying underlying causes. Ultrasound serves as primary modality evaluating nerve structure movement, while MRI superior detecting muscle denervation. Plain radiography CT play a minor role can be used evaluation bony structures calcifications/ossifications....
Summary Background A major problem in assessing the likelihood of survival patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) arises from a lack models capable predicting outcome accurately. Aim To compare ability Italian score (CLIP), French classification (GRETCH) and Barcelona (BCLC) staging system HCC. Methods We included 406 consecutive cirrhosis Seventy‐eight per cent had hepatitis C. Independent predictors were identified using Cox model. Results One‐hundred seventy‐eight treated, while 228...
