(2004)
Confluent hepatic fibrosis (CHF) is usually a feature of advanced cirrhosis, while occurrence in early stage compensated cirrhosis is uncommon. We report the imaging findings of masslike CHF in a patient with previously ...
The effects of calcitonin on acute bone loss after pertrochanteric fractures. A prospective, randomised trial
(2004)
We investigated the effect of calcitonin in the prevention of acute bone loss after a pertrochanteric fracture and its ability to reduce the incidence of further fractures in the same patient. Fifty women aged between 70 ...
Multiple viral/self immunological cross-reactivity in liver kidney microsomal antibody positive hepatitis C virus-infected patients is associated with the possession of HLA B51
(2004)
Liver Kidney Microsomal autoantibody type 1(LKM1) directed to cytochrome P4502D6 (CYP2D6) characterises autoimmune hepatitis type-2 (AIH-2), but is also found in a proportion of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infected ...
A freestanding proofreading domain is required for protein synthesis quality control in Archaea
(2004)
Threonyl-tRNA synthetase (ThrRS) participates in protein synthesis quality control by selectively editing the misacylated species Ser-tRNAThr. In bacteria and eukaryotes the editing function of ThrRS resides in a highly ...
Mortality after Pediatric Lung Transplantation: Autopsies vs. Clinical Impression
(2004)
Appreciable mortality accompanies pediatric lung and heart-lung transplantation. The objective of this investigation was to compare the clinical impression of causes of death with autopsy findings in all pediatric lung or ...
Total Hip Arthroplasty for Congenital Hip Disease
(2004)
Background: It is generally agreed that the clinical and radiographic results of total hip replacement performed for degenerative arthritis secondary to congenital hip disease vary depending on the severity of the anatomical ...
Infliximab therapy for patients with active and refractory spondyloarthropathies at the dose of 3 mg/kg: A 20-month open treatment
(2004)
Background: Infliximab at the dose of 5 mg/kg per infusion has been shown effective for the treatment of active spondyloarthropathies. It is not clear if the 5 mg/kg is required in most patients. Objective: To evaluate the ...
Occult hepatitis B virus infection in Greek patients with chronic hepatitis C and in patients with diverse nonviral hepatic diseases
(2004)
Occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection has been reported in patients with chronic hepatitis C who are negative for HBV surface antigen (HBsAg). However, the significance of 'silent' HBV in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection ...
