TyG index, HOMA score and viral load in patients with chronic hepatitis C due to genotype 1.
The triglycerides × glucose (TyG) index is a recently proposed surrogate marker of insulin resistance (IR), calculated from fasting plasma triglyceride and glucose concentrations. We tested the host and viral factors associated with Tyg and homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) scores, comparing their associations with histological features and with sustained virological response (SVR) in patients with genotype 1 chronic hepatitis C(G1CHC). Three hundred and forty consecutive patients with G1CHC were considered. All had a liver biopsy scored by one pathologist for staging and grading (Scheuer), and graded for steatosis, which was considered moderate–severe if ≥30%. Anthropometric and metaboli…
A Randomized, Controlled Trial of 3.0 mg of Liraglutide in Weight Management.
BACKGROUND: Obesity is a chronic disease with serious health consequences, but weight loss is difficult to maintain through lifestyle intervention alone. Liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue, has been shown to have potential benefit for weight management at a once-daily dose of 3.0 mg, injected subcutaneously. METHODS: We conducted a 56-week, double-blind trial involving 3731 patients who did not have type 2 diabetes and who had a body-mass index (BMI; the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters) of at least 30 or a BMI of at least 27 if they had treated or untreated dyslipidemia or hypertension. We randomly assigned patients in a 2:1 ratio to receive on…
Appunti per tradurre Jacques Lacan. Analisi della traduzione dell' "Hommage fait à Marguerite Duras du ravissement de Lol V. Stein"
Il contributo presenta uno studio che si propone di analizzare la vasta produzione neologica nell'opera di Jacques Lacan, tanto da un punto di vista teorico (statuto e funzioni del neologismo nella teoria lacaniana), quanto da un punto di vista linguistico (analisi formale dei neologismi lacaniani).
