Real-world experience with obeticholic acid in patients with primary biliary cholangitis
2021
Background & aims Obeticholic acid (OCA) is the second-line treatment approved for patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and an inadequate response or intolerance to ursodeoxycholic acid. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of OCA under real-world conditions. Methods Patients were recruited into the Italian PBC Registry, a multicentre, observational cohort study that monitors patients with PBC at national level. The primary endpoint was the biochemical response according to Poise criteria; the secondary endpoint was the biochemical response according to normal range criteria, defined as normal levels of bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and alanine aminotransfer…
MORPHOLOGICAL MODIFICATIONS OF VENTRICULO PERITONEAL SHUNTS

Scanning Electronic Microscopy (SEM) Analysis of the ventriculo peritoneal shunts
2009
Ventricular peritoneal derivations may determinate conditions in the tissues, which may then create fibrous tissues around them. They include cases with catheters of the SEM and they show that when the fibrous tissues are formed, the outer surface is irregular. However, they are not determined through phystolosis or irregular inside the surface
