Inflammation response and liver stiffness: predictive model of regression of hepatic stiffness after sustained virological response in cirrhotics patients with chronic hepatitis C
(2021-01-01)
Cirrhotic patients with chronic hepatitis C should be monitored for the evaluation of liver function and screening of hepatocellular carcinoma even after sustained virological response (SVR). The stage of inflammatory ...
Cirrhosis regression after SVR with indirect methods of fibrosis analysis: How far is it real?
(2021-01-01)
Hepatitis C virus has infected over 71 million people worldwide, and it is the main cause of cirrhosis in the western world. Currently, the treatment involves direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) and its main goal is to ...
Liver and spleen elastography of dogs affected by brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome and its correlation with clinical biomarkers
(2020-12-01)
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) is correlated to alterations in liver and spleen elasticity. Forty-eight brachycephalic and 22 mesocephalic dogs were ...
Acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography to asses maternal and foetal structures in pregnant ewes
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2019-03-01)
Contents The aim of this study was to evaluate the stiffness of foetal lungs, liver, kidneys and placentomes by acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography in ovine and to correlate obtained findings with foetal ...
Caracterização imunocelular em coorte de pacientes cirróticos com resposta virológica sustentada obtida com drogas de ação direta para Hepatite C crônica
(Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), 2020-11-11)
Pacientes cirróticos com hepatite C crônica, mesmo após resposta virológica sustentada (RVS), devem ser monitorados para avaliação da função hepática e rastreamento do carcinoma hepatocelular (CHC) a cada seis meses por ...
Baveno VI and Expanded Baveno VI criteria successfully predicts the absence of high-risk gastro-oesophageal varices in a chilean cohort
(Wiley, 2020)
Background: Baveno VI and expanded Baveno VI criteria have been recommended to
circumvent the need for endoscopy screening in patients with a very low probability
of varices needing treatment (VNT).
Aim: To validate ...
Ultrasonographic and laboratory markers of metabolic and cardiovascular disease risk in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome
(WILEY-BLACKWELLMALDEN, 2012)
Objective To evaluate whether the presence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) alters multiple ultrasonographic and laboratory markers of metabolic and cardiovascular disease risk in obese women without any other health ...
