Alcoholic liver disease and autoimmune hepatitis: Sometimes a closer look under the surface is needed
(2021)Aims: Differential diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) incorporates various liver diseases, including alcoholic liver disease (ALD). We report on clinical, laboratory and outcome characteristics of AIH patients who ... -
Autoimmune hepatitis in patients with multiple sclerosis: The role of immunomodulatory treatment
(2019)Background: Development of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) has been sporadically reported in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) either concurrently or after treatment with immunomodulatory drugs, including interferon-beta ... -
Autoimmune hepatitis type-2 and Epstein-Barr virus infection in a toddler: Art of facts or an artifact?
(2013)Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can cause frequently asymptomatic (or anicteric) and self-limited hepatitis, while occasionally may result in considerable cholestatic hepatitis. Herein, we describe the case of a previously healthy ... -
A case of membranous nephropathy associated with Sjögren syndrome, polymyositis and autoimmune hepatitis
(2008)Sjögren syndrome (SS) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of exocrine glands, especially lacrimal and salivary. The immunologic process which occurs in this syndrome is B cell ... -
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 ... -
Decreased serum DNase1-activity in patients with autoimmune liver diseases
(2017)Deoxyribonuclease1 (DNase1) is involved in chromatin degradation of apoptotic cells. Its deficiency results in accumulation of self-DNA, which in turn may induce inflammation and autoimmunity. We assessed for the first ... -
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 Age and Sex of Response to Ursodeoxycholic Acid and Transplant-free Survival in Patients With Primary Biliary Cholangitis
(2019)Background & Aims: Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) predominantly affects middle-aged women; there are few data on disease phenotypes and outcomes of PBC in men and younger patients. We investigated whether differences ... -
Evaluating Alternative Ramucirumab Doses as a Single Agent or with Paclitaxel in Second-Line Treatment of Locally Advanced or Metastatic Gastric/Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma: Results from Two Randomized, Open-Label, Phase II Studies
(2022)Studies JVDB and JVCZ examined alternative ramucirumab dosing regimens as monotherapy or combined with paclitaxel, respectively, in patients with advanced/metastatic gastric/gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma. ... -
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 ... -
Factors Associated With Progression and Outcomes of Early Stage Primary Biliary Cholangitis
(2020)Background & Aims: Patients usually receive a diagnosis of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) at an early stage, based on biochemical analyses. We investigated the proportion of patients who progress to moderate or advanced ... -
Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 (FGF23) and Klotho Protein in Beta-Thalassemia
(2020)Derangements in phosphate and calcium homeostasis are common in patients with beta-thalassemia. Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is among the main hormones regulating phosphate levels, while several studies underline ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Nephrotoxicity in rabbits after long-term nandrolone decanoate administration
(2016)Among the various side effects of supra-physiological dose of anabolic androgenic steroids that are described, renal toxicity remains the least evaluated. The present study provides evidence that long-term administration ... -
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis or autoimmune hepatitis? Sometimes a closer look under the surface is needed
(2020)Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is nowadays the most common liver disease worldwide. Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a relatively rare disease of the liver characterised by female predominance, circulating ... -
