Findings were similar in rats with advanced cirrhosis, Lee says. Additionally, when the researchers examined the rodents' liver tissue under a microscope, they found that animals treated with PEGylated TRAIL had fewer deposits of collagen and other extracellular matrix proteins, offering some evidence ...
An MLP classifier for prediction of HBV-induced liver cirrhosis using routinely available clinical parameters. Dis Markers. 2013;35:653–60. 68. Qu Y, Deng X, Lin S, Han F, Chang HH, Ou Y, et al. Using innovative machine learning methods to screen and iden- tify predictors of ...
Liver cirrhosis Malnutrition Multiple myelomas Normal pregnancy Nutritional deficiency Rheumatoid arthritis Red Blood Cell Indices Red blood cell indicates (RBC Indices) determine the characteristics of an RBC. It is useful in diagnosing pernicious and iron deficiency anemias and other liver diseases. Mean...
Useful for hepatic cirrhosis, other liver disease. Increased in Reye syndrome, with AST.1 Test for hepatitis. Acute hepatitis A or B can be confirmed serologically, as can hepatitis C. Negative serological findings in the presence of hepatitis-like chemistry abnormalities may also suggest acute ...
Computed tomography (CT) and/or ultrasound studies showed "possible cirrhotic morphology", "early changes of cirrhosis", "nodularity concerning for cirrhosis" or "findings of chronic liver disease with… capsular nodularity". The primary histologic finding in all cases was hemosiderosis, with iron ...
Further, increased levels of p53 in cirrhosis and HCC are consistent with the aberrant accumulation of its mutant form. These results suggest that the serologic level of FoxM1, p14ARF and p53 may have clinical significance in chronic liver disease and HCC, and may serve as potential biomarkers ...
Similar findings have been reported by Rabkin and colleagues (126, 343, 463), who performed a number of randomized, placebo-controlled trials as well as open trials of tes to sterone replacement in men with clinical hypogonadism that led to important pos itive effects on temper and weight (...
Here we show that advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) mediate crosslinking in liver extracellular matrix and that high levels of crosslinking are a hallmark of cirrhosis. We used liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry to quantify the degree of crosslinking of the matrix of decellularized ...
In enucleation and evisceration specimens, the two most common findings in each topographic location were as follows (respectively): in the cornea, chronic keratitis with neovascularization (78%/85.3%) and subepithelial pannus (22%/30.7%); in the iris, anterior synechia (35.2%/17%) and rube...
Conclusions: Liver diseases are common in children with a male dominance. Amongst the metabolic disorders, cystic fibrosis (CF), Reye syndrome, Indian childhood cirrhosis (ICC), Galactosemia and Wilson disease were the commonest. In CF, cholestasis was seen in 6 and invasive fungal infection in...
