Presence of Multilobular Necrosis on Liver Biopsy Identifies Corticosteroid Res...
Lin, S; Araújo, C; Hall, A; Kumar, R; Phillips, A; Hassan, M; Engelmann, C; Quaglia, A; Jalan, RBackground and aims: Treatment of patients with severe indeterminate hepatitis (IAH) is an unmet need. Corticosteroids are often used in the management of these patients but criteria for the selection of patients for this intervention are arbitrary. The aims of this study were to analyse the clinical and pathological features of patients with IAH to define predictors of corticosteroid responsiveness. Methods: T...
Prognostic Role of Liver Biopsy in Patients With Severe Indeterminate Acute Hep...
Lin, S; Araujo, C; Hall, A; Kumar, R; Phillips, A; Hassan, M; Engelmann, C; Quaglia, A; Jalan, RBackground and aims: Severe indeterminate acute hepatitis (sIAH) is a poorly understood rare disease with no specific therapy. This study aims to define the clinicopathological characteristics of sIAH and the role of liver biopsy in determining prognosis. Methods: Patients with sIAH admitted to a single center between 2010 and 2019 were included. Histopathological patterns of liver biopsies were reviewed by 2 h...
Using an artistic approach to the teaching of solid geometry in a professional ...
Hall, A; Pais, SMathematics and art have a long historical relationship stretching back to the ancient Greeks, Romans and Egyptians. Mathematics is all about patterns and rhythms, so it is natural that we can find many mathematical concepts in art. Geometry related topics make a perfect setting for a deeper contribution of art to education and allow for a complete symbiosis between the teaching of mathematics and an artistic e...
Global Chronic Total Occlusion Crossing Algorithm
Wu, EB; Brilakis, ES; Mashayekhi, K; Tsuchikane, E; Alaswad, K; Araya, M; Avran, A; Azzalini, L; Babunashvili, AM; Bayani, B; Behnes, M; Bhindi, RThe authors developed a global chronic total occlusion crossing algorithm following 10 steps: 1) dual angiography; 2) careful angiographic review focusing on proximal cap morphology, occlusion segment, distal vessel quality, and collateral circulation; 3) approaching proximal cap ambiguity using intravascular ultrasound, retrograde, and move-the-cap techniques; 4) approaching poor distal vessel quality using th...
