Hepatic decompensation is the major driver of death in HCV-infected cirrhotic patients with successfully treated early hepatocellular carcinoma
2017
Background & Aims Assessment of long-term outcome is required in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients with cirrhosis, who have been successfully treated for Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage A hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, problems arise due to the lack of models accounting for early changes during follow-up. The aim of this study was to estimate the impact of early events (HCC recurrence or hepatic decompensation within 12Â months of complete radiological response) on 5-year overall survival (OS) in a large cohort of patients with HCV and cirrhosis, successfully treated HCC. Methods A total of 328 consecutive Caucasian patients with HCV-related cirrhosis and BC…
Early menopause is associated with lack of response to antiviral therapy in women with chronic hepatitis C.
2011
Background & Aims Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) and liver fibrosis progress more rapidly in men and menopausal women than in women of reproductive age. We investigated the associations among menopause, sustained virologic response (SVR), and liver damage in patients with CHC. Methods We performed a prospective study of 1000 consecutive, treatment-naive patients 18 years of age and older with compensated liver disease from CHC. Liver biopsy samples were analyzed (for fibrosis, inflammation, and steatosis) before patients received standard antiviral therapy. From women (n = 442), we collected data on the presence, type, and timing of menopause; associated hormone and metabolic features; serum lev…
Metabolic comorbidities and male sex influence steatosis in chronic hepatitis C after viral eradication by direct-acting antiviral therapy (DAAs): Ev…
2021
Background: Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is associated with hepatic steatosis, related to both a direct viral action and metabolic features. Vice-versa data on hepatic steatosis after viral eradication by direct-acting antiviral agents (DAA) are undefined although the presence of metabolic alterations could strongly influence the occurrence of steatosis as in NAFLD. The controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) (FibroscanⓇ) allows the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of fatty liver. Aim: to evaluate in patients with CHC whether hepatic steatosis diagnosed by CAP modifies after DAAs-induced sustained virologic response (SVR). Methods: Data were collected the day of DAAs therapy starting and…
Pegylated interferon α plus ribavirin for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C: A multicentre independent study supported by the Italian Drug Agency
2014
a b s t r a c t Background: Data on the efficacy of Peg-interferon/ribavirin therapy for chronic hepatitis C are mostly derived from treatment of selected patients enrolled in clinical trials. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Peg-interferon/ribavirin therapy in “real world” chronic hepatitis C patients in Italy. Methods: Independent observational multicentre study including consecutive patients receiving Peginterferon/ribavirin in the 18 months before (retrospective phase) and after (prospective phase) the start of the study. Results: 4176 patients were eligible. The final study population consisted of 2051 patients in the retrospective and 2073 in the prospective phase. Sust…

Sociālo mediju ziņojumu ietekme uz digitālo aktīvu cenu veidošanos: ekonometriskā analīze.
2022
Darba mērķis ir novērtēt Reddit platformas sentimentu, pirmkārt, noskaidrot vai tas statistiski nozīmīgi ietekmē digitālo aktīvu Decentraland, Tezos vai Chiliz vērtību. Otrkārt, noteikt vai sociālo mediju ietekme atšķiras šiem neaizvietojamajiem tokeniem un kriptovalūtai Ethereum. Pētījums veikts par 2021. gada Reddit platformā publicētajiem ziņojumiem. Tāpat analīzei tika lejuplādēti digitālo aktīvu Decentraland, Tezos, Chiliz un Ethereum monētu tirgus dienas dati no Yahoo! Finance tīmekļa vietnes, tādējādi iegūstot 361 gadījumu par katru no aktīviem. Ziņojumu polaritātes noteikšanai tika izmantots VADER klasifikators. Ar lineāras regresijas palīdzību tika novērtēts, vai pastāv attiecības …
Alcohol and Cannabis Consumption Does Not Diminish Cure Rates in a Real-World Cohort of Chronic Hepatitis C Virus Infected Patients on Opioid Substit…
2019
Background: The importance of alcohol and cannabis consumption for the effectiveness of treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with direct acting antivirals (DAAs) in people on opioid substitution therapy (OST) has not been investigated in detail. Methods: We investigated sustained virological response (SVR) rates and proportion of lost to follow-up (LTFU) between OST (n = 739) and non-OST patients (n = 7008) in the German Hepatitis C-Registry (Deutsches Hepatitis C-Register, DHC-R), which is a national multicenter prospective non-interventional real-world registry. Non-OST patients comprised patients with former/current drug use (non-OST/DU; n = 1500) and patients never con…
Evaluación y predicción de la reincidencia en agresores sexuales argentinos: el svr20
2015
En este estudio se revisan tanto las teorías y conocimientos existentes sobre etiología y factores de riesgo de agresión sexual, como algunas investigaciones internacionales y españolas que sustentan estos conocimientos. Su principal objetivo es la presentación de un nuevo instrumento de predicción en este campo denominado SVR-20: Manual de valoración del riesgo de violencia sexual. Para su validación se ha efectuado un primer estudio exploratorio sobre la capacidad predictiva del SVR-20 con una muestra de 42 agresores sexuales argentinos que cumplen condena en dos prisiones de Mendoza. Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo y la regresión logística binaria y la curva ROC ofrecen resultados sa…
