First Results From a Propensity Matching Trial of Mycophenolate Mofetil vs. Azathioprine in Treatment-Naive AIH Patients
(2022)
Background/Aims: As previous real-world studies and meta-analyses have shown that mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) might have better efficacy than azathioprine (AZA) in autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), we conducted a propensity ...
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and synchronous intra-abdominal malignancies: Case series of a single institution’s experience
(2021)
Background: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) quite often co-exist with other primary tumors, as seen in up to 33% of cases. In the literature such occurrences have primarily been described through case reports and ...
Does the ISNT rule apply to the radial peripapillary capillary vessel density in OCT angiography?
(2022)
Purpose: To investigate the applicability of ISNT (inferior ≥ superior ≥ nasal ≥ temporal), IST (inferior ≥ superior ≥ temporal), and T min (temporal quadrant with the minimum value) rules to the peripapillary nerve fiber ...
Interference Resolution in Nonfluent Variant Primary Progressive Aphasia: Evidence From a Picture-Word Interference Task
(2021)
BACKGROUND: Picture-word interference tasks have been used to investigate (a) the time course of lexical access in individuals with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) and (b) how these individuals resolve competition during ...
Trends in prevalence of blindness and distance and near vision impairment over 30 years: An analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study

Significant improvement of stress and aging biomarkers using a novel stress management program with the cognitive restructuring method “Pythagorean Self-Awareness Intervention” in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and healthy adults
(2021)
Stress accelerates aging by affecting relevant cellular pathways including, among others, leucocyte telomere length (LTL) and proteasome levels. Their impaired function underlies several age-related and non-communicable ...
Sarcopenia is a Prognostic Biomarker for Long-Term Survival after Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(2022)
Background: Sarcopenia is the loss of muscle mass and strength. It manifests as decreased core muscle area in axial abdominal computed tomography scans. The predictive value of sarcopenia in outcome research has been widely ...
