Sarcopenia and myosteatosis are common in patients with cirrhosis. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of these muscle changes, their interrelations prognostic impact over a 12-month period.
It is paramount to identify predictors of treatment failure with direct antiviral agents in 'field-practice' patients, including people who inject drugs (PWID). Data on the efficacy glecaprevir/pibrentasvir (GLE/PIB) a field-practice scenario are scant. The multicentre MISTRAL study enrolled 1177 PWID, assess real-life and safety GLE/PIB predictive factors for this treatment.This was prospective, longitudinal study. outcome variable rate sustained virological response (SVR) at week 12.A...
We aimed to characterize the epidemiologic and comorbidities profiles of patients with chronic Hepatitis D (CHD) followed in clinical practice Italy explored their interferon (IFN) eligibility.
Objective: Evaluation of the interaction between alcohol intake and cofactors [hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV), body mass index] coffee consumption on risk cirrhosis. Design: Seven hundred forty-nine consecutive patients with chronic liver disease referring to units for or diseases in Italy during a 6-months period. Teetotalers were excluded. The odds ratios (OR) cirrhosis evaluated using cases as control group. Results: An more than 3 units/day resulted associated likelihood both...
In 2017, a chikungunya outbreak in central Italy later evolved into secondary cluster southern Italy, providing evidence of disease emergence new areas. Officials have taken action to raise awareness among clinicians and the general population, increase timely case detection, reduce mosquito breeding sites, promote bite prevention.
Coinfection of blood-borne hepatitis B and C viruses (HBV HCV, respectively) in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-positive individuals frequently occurs inmate population peculiar viral strains patterns virological markers may be observed.Plasma from 69 HIV-1-positive inmates was obtained 7 clinical centers connected with correctional different towns Italy. HIV, HBV, HCV were tested by commercial assays. Virus genotyping carried out sequencing the protease reverse...
Abstract The proportion of new diagnoses HIV infection in immigrants residing Italy raised from 11% 1992 to 29.7% 2018. To investigate the clades circulating this community a retrospective study was performed 557 HIV-infected living 12 Italian cities. Immigrants originated East-Europe and Central-Asia (11.7%), North Africa Middle East (7.3%), South South-East Asia (7.2%), Latin America Caribbean (14.4%), sub-Saharan (59.4%). More than 87% were on antiretroviral therapy (ART), although 26.6%...
Tuberculosis is still a global emergency and major public health problem, in some cases related to the appearance of strains multi drug resistance (MDR) extensive (XDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex.The correct determination antibiotic sensitivity profiles therefore crucial carry out appropriate treatment aimed decrease infectivity each patient reduce mortality. The poor adherence by or use therapies based on single drug, as result incorrect requirements, promote development...

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence blood-borne chronic viral infections in immigrants Italy, and identify factors associated. Methods: A prospective screening program performed seven clinical centers operating Campania, Apulia Calabria southern with HBV, HCV or HIV infections. Findings: Of 4·125 observed period, 3·839 (93·0%) agreed be screened: 381 (9·9%) resulted HBsAg, 136 (3·5%) anti-HCV, 62 (1·6%) anti-HIV-positive 1·448 (37·7%) HBsAg-negative anti-HBc...
