Use of Calprest ® in the diagnosis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

2002

Abstract Background: Between November 2000 and February 2001 a study has been performed by eight Italian hospital centers with the aim of verifying the usefulness of Calprest® (detection of fecal calprotectin) as a marker of bowel inflammation. Preliminary data are reported. Objective: To define the use of fecal calprotectin as a marker of intestinal inflammation, to assess whether it might help in differentiating between IBS and IBD, and its role in IBD. Subjects: Healthy population (51), active Crohn (16), non active or under remission Crohn (11), active ulcerative Colitis (8), non active or under remission ulcerative Colitis (13), pathological Controls of various nature (79). Results: Th…

Association between elastic and muscular artery stiffness and organ dysfunction in patients with early severe sepsis

2015

Sepsis is characterised by massive inflammatory response, which can affect vascular function. As part of vascular dysfunction large arteries can be affected. To what extent changes in large artery function contribute to organ dysfunction in sepsis is not well studied.

Uncontrolled immune response in acute myocardial infarction

2008

Recently, the theory that hyperinflammation is the body's primary response to potent stimulus has been challenged. Indeed, a deregulation of the immune system could be the cause of multiple organ failure. So far, clinicians have focused on the last steps of the inflammatory cascade. However, little attention has been paid to lymphocytes, which play an important role as strategists of the inflammatory response. Experimental evidence suggests a crucial role of T lymphocytes in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In summary, from the bottom of an imaginary inverted pyramid, a few regulatory T-cells control the upper parts represented by the wide spectr…

Bowel ultrasonography in acute abdomen: beyond acute appendicitis.

2021

Acute abdomen is a common reason for consultation in the emergency department. A broad spectrum of entities, including diverse diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, can cause acute abdomen. Although computed tomography is the technique most widely used to evaluate acute abdomen in the emergency department, abdominal ultrasound is often performed first and allows bowel disease to be suspected. This article describes the ultrasound features of diverse bowel diseases that can cause acute abdomen, such as acute diverticulitis, bowel obstruction, gastrointestinal perforation, bowel ischemia, intraabdominal fat necrosis, and miscellaneous processes such as endometriosis, foreign bodies, or vasc…
