Acute non-A, non-B, non-C hepatitis differences and similarities between hepatitis E virus infection and autoimmune hepatitis, with phylogenetic analysis of hepatitis E virus in humans and wild boars
(2022)Background Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection incidence is increasing in Europe, accounting for the majority of acute hepatitis cases. We investigated the prevalence and clinical characteristics of acute hepatitis E (AHE) ... -
Anemia associated with autoimmune liver disease in a middle-aged female
(2019)Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) can coexist as a variant syndrome of autoimmune liver disease. The case is reported of a 49-year-old woman with anemia and ascites, in whom laboratory tests ... -
Belimumab is a promising third-line treatment option for refractory autoimmune hepatitis
(2020)Background & Aims: Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a disease of unknown aetiology with a favourable response to immunosuppression. However, in the clinic, it appears that <50% of patients achieve complete response on standard ... -
A chronic alcoholic man with high fever, neck rigidity and loss of consciousness: Remember the Austrian syndrome a commonly unrecognised invasive pneumococcus triad
(2018)Austrian syndrome is a rare medical condition characterised by the triad of pneumonia, meningitis and endocarditis due to Streptococcus pneumoniae. Native aortic valve insufficiency is the most common cause of cardiac ... -
A controlled trial of polyglytone 6211 versus poliglecaprone 25 for use in intradermal suturing in dogs
(2021)The objective of this work was the comparative evaluation of the healing process after em-ploying 4/0 poliglecaprone 25 and 4/0 polyglytone 6211 in a continuous intradermal suture pattern. Ten Beagle dogs were used, in ... -
Early primary biliary cirrhosis: A new association with erythema nodosum of unknown origin
(2010)Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is associated with immune-mediated dermatologic disorders. The association of PBC with erythema nodosum (EN) seems rare. We report two females (42 and 44 years old) with low-grade fever, ... -
Effects of acute exercise on liver function and blood redox status in heavy drinkers
(2015)Excessive alcohol consumption can induce oxidative stress, resulting in the development of several diseases. Exercise has been reported to prevent and/or improve a number of health issues through several mechanisms, including ... -
Exercise training reduces alcohol consumption but does not affect HPA-axis activity in heavy drinkers
(2017)Background It has been suggested that physical exercise could have potential beneficial effects in substance abusers, which are based on both physiological and psychological theories. Although a few studies have examined ... -
FibroMeter scores for the assessment of liver fibrosis in patients with autoimmune liver diseases
(2021)Introduction and Objectives: We assessed FibroMeter virus (FMvirus) and FibroMeter vibration-controlled transient elastography (FMVCTE) in 134 patients with autoimmune liver diseases [ALD, autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and ... -
Four weeks exercise in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus and without continuous positive airway pressure treatment: A case report
(2019)The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of exercise in patient with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and without continuous positive airway pressure therapy (CPAP) ... -
Glycogenic hepatopathy as a cause of severe deranged liver enzymes in a young patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus
(2019)Glycogenic hepatopathy (GH) is a rare complication of poorly controlled type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). We present a 19-year-old woman with T1DM and autoimmune thyroiditis who admitted to our department because of abrupt ... -
Incorporating Biomarkers in COPD Management: The Research Keeps Going
(2022)Globally, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality, having a significant socioeconomic effect. Several molecular mechanisms have been related to COPD including chronic ... -
Increased cholestatic enzymes in two patients with long-term history of ulcerative colitis: Consider primary biliary cholangitis not always primary sclerosing cholangitis
(2017)Several hepatobiliary disorders have been reported in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) being the most specific. Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), previously known as primary biliary ... -
Minimal invasive technique for gene delivery in porcine liver lobe segment
(2011)Introduction: The feasibility and outcome of large volume injection of gene solution in a segment of a liver lobe, without backflow, were studied in a porcine model, using a custom-designed balloon catheter. Method: Eight ... -
Multiple autoimmune propensity and B-Non-Hodgkin lymphoma: Cause or effect?
