Nachweis von SLA/LP-Autoantikörpern bei Patienten mit primär biliärer Zirrhose als Marker für eine sekundäre autoimmune Hepatitis (Overlapsyndrom)

2001

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the presence of SLA/LP-autoantibodies in PBC-patients gives evidence for a secondary AIH, also called AIH/PBC-overlap-syndrome. PATIENTS AND METHODS Out of 233 consecutive patients with PBC who had been followed between October 1980 and April 2000, we evaluated the data of anti-SLA/LP-positive patients and compared them to patients with an anti-SLA/LP-negative AIH/PBC overlap syndrome as well as to patients with a classical course of AIH and PBC. RESULTS In total we could identify nine PBC patients with anti-SLA/LP antibodies (six women/three men) or 3.9% of the study population, Anti-SLA/LP-positive PBC patients were sl…

Nastanak i liječenje gigantskih kamenaca ileocekalnog urinskog spremnika u pacijenta liječenog cistektomijom zbog intersticijskog cistitisa: prikaz s…

2021

Cilj: Cilj ovoga rada je prikazati pacijenta s intersticijskim cistitisom u kojega je došlo do stvaranja kamenaca u novoformiranom urinskom spremniku. Prikaz slučaja: Pacijent star 48 godina obrađivan je zbog recidivnih infekcija mokraćnog sustava. Prethodno mu je zbog intersticijskog cistitisa, koji je znatno utjecao na njegovu kvalitetu života, učinjena cistektomija uz oblikovanje urinskog spremnika (Mainz-pouch I). Urološkom obradom pronađena su u području urinskoga spremnika dva velika kamenca dimenzija 77 × 74 mm te 76 × 62 mm uz obostranu hidronefrozu. Kako bi se riješio uzrok rekurentnih urinarnih infekcija, učinjena mu je otvorenim pristupom ekstrakcija oba kamenca. Poslijeoperacijs…

A topodiagnostic investigation on body lateropulsion in medullary infarcts.

2005

Body lateropulsion may occur without signs of vestibular dysfunction and vestibular nucleus involvement. The authors examined 10 such patients with three-dimensional brainstem mapping. Body lateropulsion without limb ataxia reflected an impairment of vestibulospinal postural control caused by a lesion of the descending lateral vestibulospinal tract, whereas body lateropulsion with limb ataxia was probably the consequence of impaired or absent proprioceptive information caused by a lesion of the ascending dorsal spino-cerebellar tract.

Material and methods This was a questionnaire-based cross-sectional study. A self-administered questionnaire consisting of questions on students' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding HBV was used. Data of 420 participants were analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Studies) version 22.0. Results The response rate was 84%. Overall, the participants showed fair level of knowledge about HBV, …

Consensus recommendations for managing asymptomatic persistent non-virus non-alcohol related elevation of aminotransferase levels

2008

Abstract A persistent increase in non-virus non-alcohol related aminostransferase levels can have multiple causes, which differ in terms of prevalence and clinical importance. In the general population, the most frequent cause is non-alcoholic hepatic steatosis, which can evolve into steato-hepatitis and cirrhosis. The treatment for steatosis and non-alcoholic steato-hepatitis consists of modifying lifestyles, whereas the effectiveness of drug treatment remains to be determined. Other much less frequent (yet not rare) causes of persistent non-virus non-alcohol related elevations in aminotransferase levels are celiac disease and hemochromatosis, whereas autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary …

Prevalence of traumatic injuries in deciduous dentition and associated risk factors in a Spanish children population

2021

Background: The frequency of traumatic dental injuries (TDI) in primary dentition and those agents that favor them present a great variability. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of TDI in a population of Spanish preschoolers in temporary dentition and identify the factors associated with these injuries. Materials and Methods: an epidemiological observational prevalence study was carried out. A total of 343 children aged between 3 and 5 years were selected. A questionnaire was completed in relation to socioeconomic factors, cultural level, dietary habits and oral parafunction. Through an intraoral examination, information was collected on the occlusal cha…

Peginterferon alfa-2b plus weight-based ribavirin for 24 weeks in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus genotype 1 with low viral load who achieve …

2011

Summary.  In chronic hepatitis C (CHC), treatment duration may be individualized according to time to first undetectable hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA, with patients who attain undetectable HCV RNA early in treatment being candidates for shorter regimens. The aim of this study was to determine the relapse rate in patients with CHC genotype (G) 1 infection and low baseline viral load who achieved undetectable HCV RNA by week 4 [rapid virologic response (RVR)] when treated for 24 weeks. This was an open-label, multicentre, noninterventional study. Adult patients with G1 CHC infection and baseline viral load <600,000 IU/mL who attained RVR were treated with peginterferon alfa-2b (1.5 μg/kg/week)…
