Practice guidelines for the treatment of hepatitis C: recommendations from an AISF/SIMIT/SIMAST Expert Opinion Meeting.
It is increasingly clear that a tailored therapeutic approach to patients with hepatitis C virus infection is needed. Success rates in difficult to treat and low-responsive hepatitis C virus patients are not completely satisfactory, and there is the need to optimise treatment duration and intensity in patients with the highest likelihood of response. In addition, the management of special patient categories originally excluded from phase III registration trials needs to be critically re-evaluated. This article reports the recommendations for the treatment of hepatitis C virus infection on an individual basis, drafted by experts of three scientific societies.
IL RESTAURO DEL TEATRO COMUNALE “Salvatore Cicero” Cronaca di un cantiere
Trttasi di un testo corredato da diverse immagini che illustra le varie e complesse fasi di un restauro monumentale. Dall'analisi storico-critica del manufatto,attraverso un raffronto con l'origine e l'evoluzione del teatro all'italiana,il saggio tratta della metodologia di intervento in ordine alle tecniche di consolidameto, agli aspetti impiantistici,al ripristino degli apparati decorativi ed al restauro pittorico.Il confronto tra l'opera prima dell'intervento e la sua rstituzione è condotto attraverso la illustrazione delle diverse fasi in cui si è sviluppato il cantiere, seguendo i metodi più moderni del restauro scientifico.
Liver stiffness, a non-invasive marker of liver disease: a core study group report
The ability to evaluate liver stiffness non-invasively in clinical practice by measuring transient elastography using FibroScan® has resulted in considerable interest and enthusiasm. A core study group, organized by the Italian Association for the Study of the Liver, has assessed the usefulness of FibroScan® in the diagnosis and management of liver disease in clinical practice. The group concluded that FibroScan® is a valuable, non-invasive technique and have developed a consensus report form for registering transient elastography results. In this article, we report the findings of the study group.
