AbstractBackground & AimsChronic liver disease is a major health concern worldwide and the identification of novel modifiable risk factors may benefit subjects at risk. Few studies have analyzed periodontitis as a risk factor for liver complications. We studied whether periodontitis is associated with incident severe liver dis...... hiện toàn bộ
The value of different CT‐based methods for diagnosing low muscle mass and predicting mortality in patients with cirrhosisLiver International - Tập 39 Số 12 - Trang 2374-2385 - 2019

AbstractBackground & AimsLow muscle mass impacts on morbidity and mortality in cirrhosis. The skeletal‐muscle index (SMI) is a well‐validated tool to diagnose muscle wasting, but requires specialized radiologic software and expertise. Thus, we compared different Computed tomography (CT)‐based evaluation methods for muscle wast...... hiện toàn bộ
Evaluating the association of serum ferritin and hepatic iron with disease severity in non‐alcoholic fatty liver diseaseLiver International - Tập 39 Số 7 - Trang 1325-1334 - 2019
Elena Buzzetti, Salvatore Petta, Roberta Manuguerra, Tu Vinh Luong, Daniela Cabibi, Elena Corradini, Antonio Craxı̀, Massimo Pinzani, Emmanuel Tsochatzis, Antonello Pietrangelo
AbstractBackground & AimsHyperferritinemia, with or without increased hepatic iron, represents a common finding in non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, it is unclear whether it reflects hepatic inflammation or true iron‐overload and, in case the latte...... hiện toàn bộ
Controlled attenuation parameter does not predict hepatic decompensation in patients with advanced chronic liver diseaseLiver International - Tập 39 Số 1 - Trang 127-135 - 2019

AbstractBackground & AimsAssessment of hepatic steatosis by transient elastography (TE)‐based controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) might predict hepatic decompensation. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of CAP in patients with compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD) and decompensated cirrhosis (...... hiện toàn bộ
MuRF‐1 and p‐GSK3β expression in muscle atrophy of cirrhosisLiver International - Tập 33 Số 5 - Trang 714-721 - 2013
Manuela Merli, M. Giusto, Alessio Molfino, Andrea Bonetto, Massimo Rossi, Stefano Ginanni Corradini, Francesco M. Baccino, Filippo Rossi Fanelli, Paola Costelli
AbstractBackgroundChronic diseases, including cirrhosis, are often accompanied by protein‐energy malnutrition and muscle loss, which in turn negatively affect quality of life, morbidity and mortality. Unlike other chronic conditions, few data are available on the molecular mechanisms underlying muscle wasting in this clinical sett...... hiện toàn bộ
