It is suggested that follow-up endoscopy and biopsy should be performed every three months for the first year, every six months during the second year and annually from the third to fifth year (class of recommendation C) (2). Is an endoscopy horrible? Endoscopy sounds very scary and the th...
Under such circumstances, early combination strategies to intensify the effect of initial therapy have been developed. Two large RCTs investigated the upfront use of HD-DXM plus rituximab in treatment-naïve ITP patients. The results showed that the addition of rituximab to HD-DXM did not ...

The Pap and HPV tests only take a few minutes to perform. The Pap results are usually returned in two weeks; HPV test results may take longer. Both are typically covered by insurance. One of the greatest risk factors for cervical cancer is the absence of regular screening. To avoid complic...
Overview of the current cell-based models used to study renal disease. Cells can be derived from individual patients’ via either a tissue biopsy, or a liquid biopsy (urine samples). Once cells are established in traditional monolayer cultures, they can then be seeded on/into Matrigel scaffolds...
The secondary outcomes were: need for transfusion or hemostatic intervention, decrease of ≥10% in hemoglobin (Hb) after biopsy, macroscopic hematuria, infection possibly related to biopsy, need for single or indwelling bladder catheterization, and other biopsy-related complications. Results The ...
