No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-01-01; Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz; Objective To evaluate the efficacy of a synthetic sex-aggregation pheromone of the sand fly vector Lu. longipalpis, co-located with residual insecticide, to reduce the infection incidence of Leishmania infantum in the canine reservoir. Methods A stratified cluster r...
Comparing the continuous geboes score with the Robarts Histopathology Index: de...
Magro, Fernando; Lopes, Joanne; Borralho, Paula; Lopes, Susana; Coelho, Rosa; Cotter, Jose; de Castro, Francisca Dias; Sousa, Helena TavaresBackground and Aims: The histological status of ulcerative colitis [UC] patients in clinical and endoscopic remission has gained space as an important prognostic marker and a key component of disease monitoring. Our main aims were to compare two histological indexes-the continuous Geboes score [GS] and the Robarts Histopathology index [RHI]-regarding their definitions of histological remission and response, and...
Serum dipeptidyl peptidase 4: a predictor of disease activity and prognosis in ...
Pinto-Lopes, Pedro; Afonso, Joana; Pinto-Lopes, Rui; Rocha, Catia; Lago, Paula; Goncalves, Raquel; Sousa, Helena Tavares; Macedo, GuilhermeBackground: Serum dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) has drawn particular interest as a biomarker in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), as this protease inactivates several peptides that participate in the inflammatory cascade. Methods: Two prospectively recruited cohorts consisting of 195 patients (101 had Crohn’s disease [CD] and 94 had ulcerative colitis [UC]) were evaluated using clinical indexes and followed up...
Comparison of different histological indexes in the assessment of UC activity a...
Magro, Fernando; Lopes, Joanne; Borralho, Paula; Lopes, Susana; Coelho, Rosa; Cotter, Jose; de Castro, Francisca Dias; Sousa, Helena TavaresObjective Histological remission is being increasingly acknowledged as a therapeutic endpoint in patients with UC. The work hereafter described aimed to evaluate the concordance between three histological classification systems-Geboes Score (GS), Nancy Index (NI) and RobartsHistopathologyIndex (RHI), as well as to evaluate their association with the endoscopic outcomes and the faecal calprotectin (FC) levels. D...
