Chronic stress and early recurrence of takotsubo cardiomyopathy: A clinical case
2014
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is characterized by transient systolic dysfunction of the apical and middle segments of the left ventricle, accompanied by electrocardiographic abnormalities and mild elevation of cardiac biomarker levels in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease. The following case is of a woman suffering from chronic emotional stress with a very early recurrence. An acute trigger event was not detectable in both cases. It is possible to suppose that, in predisposed subjects, chronic stress by increasing sympathetic activity may be considered not only a trigger for TC, but also a negative prognostic factor for early recurrence.
Is early recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma in HCV cirrhotic patients affected by treatment with direct-acting antivirals? A prospective multicen…
2017
SummaryBackground Data on HCV-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) early recurrence in patients whose HCC was previously cured, and subsequently treated by direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), are equivocal. Aim To assess the risk of HCC early recurrence after DAAs exposure in a large prospective cohort of HCV-cirrhotic patients with previous successfully treated HCC, also looking for risk factors for cancer early recurrence. Methods We enrolled 143 consecutive patients with complete response after curative treatment of HCC, subsequently treated with DAAs and monitored by the web-based RESIST-HCV database. Clinical, biological, and virological data were collected. The primary endpoint was the…
Frührezidiv des Morbus Crohn nach »kurativer« Ileocoecalresektion: Eine prospektive endoskopische und histologische Untersuchung*
2008
The postoperative course of 44 patients (24 women, 20 men; mean age 31.5 [18-63] years) treated by ileocaecal resection for Crohn's disease was investigated prospectively. None of the patients received any prophylactic drug treatment during the 12-month postoperative period of observation. Recurrence of Crohn's disease was endoscopically diagnosed in 21 of the 44 patients during the 12-month period, and in 14 patients recurrence was suspected. Histological confirmation of recurrent Crohn's disease, however, was obtained unequivocally in only 11 patients, while in further 20 patients there was suspicion of recurrence. A large proportion of the recurrences was already confirmed endoscopically…

Predictors of hepatocellular carcinoma in HCV cirrhotic patients treated with direct acting antivirals
2018
Background: Despite the dramatic improvement in viral eradication rates that has been reached with direct antiviral agents (DAAs),the real benefit of viral eradication after DAAs on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development is still controversial. Aim: To prospectively assess the risk of HCC occurrence and early recurrence in a large cohort of DAAtreated HCV-cirrhotic patients and to identify potential predictors of HCC development. Methods: We analyzed data prospectively collected from 1927 consecutive HCV-infected cirrhotic patients treated with DAA from January to December 2015 in 10 tertiary liver centers in Italy and followed-up for one year after therapy. 161 patients had a previous …
Time to recurrence is a significant predictor of cancer-specific survival after recurrence in patients with recurrent renal cell carcinoma - Results …
2013
Objectives To assess the prognostic impact of time to recurrence (TTR) on cancer-specific survival (CSS) after recurrence in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) undergoing radical nephrectomy or nephron-sparing surgery. To analyse differences in clinical and histopathological criteria between patients with early and late recurrence. Patients and Methods Of 13 107 patients with RCC from an international multicentre database, 1712 patients developed recurrence in the follow-up (FU), at a median (interquartile range) of 50.1 (25-106) months. In all, 1402 patients had recurrence at ≤5 years (Group A) and 310 patients beyond this time (Group B). Differences in clinical and histopathological…
Factors associated with early recurrence at the first evaluation of patients with transient ischemic attack.
2014
Abstract We aimed to identify factors easily collected at admission in patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA) that were associated with early recurrence, so as to guide clinicians’ decision-making about hospitalization in routine practice. From September 2011 to January 2013, all TIA patients who were referred to the University Hospital of Dijon, France, were identified. Vascular risk factors and clinical information were collected. The etiology of the TIA was defined according to the results of complementary examinations performed at admission as follows: large artery atherosclerosis (LAA-TIA) TIA, TIA due to atrial fibrillation (AF-TIA), other causes, and undetermined TIA.
