Maurizio Bossola, Gilda Pepe, Emanuela Antocicco, Camilla Illuminati, more

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis > 27 > 6 > 1088 - 1094

Introduction The aim of this study was to determine if the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) was predictor of mortality in elderly patients on chronic hemodialysis (HD). Methods A total of 140 HD patients ≥65 years were studied. Symptoms of depression were assessed through GDS and cognitive function through the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). GDS scores 0–9 are considered normal (Group 1);...

Laura Gragnani, Serena Lorini, Silvia Marri, Sara Rattotti, more

Hematological Oncology > 40 > 4 > 658 - 666

Cryoglobulinemic Vasculitis (CV) is an autoimmune/lymphoproliferative disorder associated with HCV infection that in 5%–10% of cases evolves into a B cell Non‐Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL). B‐cell activating factor (BAFF) is a key regulator in B‐cell development and survival. Particular genetic variants are responsible for BAFF signaling impairment in autoimmune and neoplastic diseases. We evaluated BAFF...

Maurizio Bossola, Emanuele Marzetti, Enrico Di Stasio, Tania Monteburini, more

Nephrology > 23 > 6 > 552 - 558

Aim The study aims to determine prevalence and severity of PDF and to define its associated variables. Methods In five haemodialysis units of northern‐centre Italy, patients were regarded to suffer from PDF if they spontaneously offered this complaint when asked the open‐ended question: Do you feel better or worse after dialysis? If worse, please specify in which way. A complaint of fatigue would...

Autoantibodies to post‐translationally modified type I and II collagen in Charcot neuroarthropathy in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Paola Rizzo, Dario Pitocco, Francesco Zaccardi, Enrico Di Stasio, more

Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews > 33 > 2 > n/a - n/a

Aims Charcot neuroarthropathy (CN) is a disabling complication, culminating in bone destruction and involving joints and articular cartilage with high inflammatory environment. Its real pathogenesis is as yet unknown. In autoinflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, characterized by inflammation and joint involvement, autoantibodies against oxidative post‐translationally modified (oxPTM)...

Measurement of Bone Flap Surface Area and Midline Shift to Predict Overall Survival After Decompressive Craniectomy

Paolo Missori, Carlotta Morselli, Maurizio Domenicucci, Sergio Paolini, more

World Neurosurgery > 2016 > 96 > C > 11-14

There is uncertainty about the optimal method for measuring the decompressive craniectomy (DC) surface area and how large the DC should be.A radiological technique for measuring the surface area of removed bone flaps in a series of 73 DCs was developed. Preoperative and early postoperative computed tomography scans of each patient were evaluated. Midline shift (MLS) was considered the key factor for...

Serum Compounds of Energy Metabolism Impairment Are Related to Disability, Disease Course and Neuroimaging in Multiple Sclerosis

Giacomo Lazzarino, Angela M. Amorini, Axel Petzold, Claudio Gasperini, more

Molecular Neurobiology > 2017 > 54 > 9 > 7520-7533

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by primary inflammation, demyelination, and progressive neurodegeneration. A biochemical MS feature is neuronal mitochondrial dysfunction, compensated by anaerobic metabolism increase, likely aggravating progression of neurodegeneration. Here, we characterized a pragmatic serum profile of compounds related to mitochondrial energy metabolism of potential clinical...

Carlo Vulpio, Maurizio Bossola, Enrico Di Stasio, Gilda Pepe, more

Clinical Biochemistry > 2016 > 49 > 7-8 > 538-543

The usefulness, the methods and the criteria of intra-operative monitoring of the parathyroid hormone (ioPTH) during parathyroidectomy (PTX) for renal secondary hyperparathyroidism (rSHPT) in patients on chronic hemodialysis remain still matter of debate. The present study aimed to evaluate the ability of a low cost central-laboratory second generation PTH assay to predict an incomplete resection...
