Gastric cancer (GC) is a major public health problem worldwide, with high mortality rates due to late diagnosis and limited treatment options. Biomarker research is essential to improve the early dete...
Softgel levothyroxine (LT4) preparation showed a better...
Twenty-eight hypothyroid patients (24F/4M; median age=50 treated with tablet LT4 (median dose= 1.65 µg/kg/day) and with stable thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) values on target (<0.8-2.5> mU/l) have ...
Upon the switch tablet/softgel preparation, the therapeutic LT4 dose was very slightly reduced (-6%) in the whole sample. However, the individual variations revealed the existence of two populations, ...
These findings provide evidence that softgel LT4 preparation is independent from the actual gastric pH in humans and may represent a significant therapeutic option in patients with increased LT4 requi...
Studies of microbiota reveal inter-relationships between the microbiomes of the gut and lungs. This relationship may influence the progression of lung disease, particularly in patients with cystic fib...
Candida spp. cause opportunistic infections in conditions of immunodeficiency. Here, we investigated the relationship between colonization of the gastric juice by Candida spp. and surgical site infect...
Consecutive hepatectomy cases between November 2019 and April 2021 were enrolled. Gastric juice samples (collected intraoperatively through a nasogastric tube) were cultured. We compared factors relat...
There were 29 and 71 patients in the Candida + and Candida - groups, respectively. The Candida + group was significantly older (average age: Candida + 74 years vs. Candida - 69 years; p = 0.02) and co...
Colonization of the gastric juice by Candida spp. is a risk factor for SSI after hepatectomy....
In patients with atrophic gastritis involving gastric body mucosa the pH value of gastric juice is distinctly increased, so that pH assessment would allow predict this precancerous lesion. We tested w...
In this prospective, multicentre study, the accuracy of EndoFaster® for ruling out gastric atrophy involving corporal mucosa was assessed. Real-time pH and ammonium determination was performed by aspi...
A total of 1008 consecutive patients were observed in 12 centres. At histology, gastric body mucosa atrophy/metaplasia was detected in 65 (6.4%) cases, and a pH value >4.5 in the gastric juice was obs...
The very high NPV of EndoFaster® might allow to safely rule out presence of atrophic gastritis, reducing the need of taking gastric biopsies in unselected patients managed in clinical practice....
Helicobacter pylori infection is the main cause of the most frequent gastroduodenal diseases. Because its prevalence is decreasing in developed countries, gastric biopsies are negative in several pati...
This prospective study involved 12 endoscopic units. During endoscopy, EndoFaster testing was performed and standard five gastric biopsies were taken. The accuracy was calculated by considering histol...
Gastric juice analysis was attempted in 1279 patients, but it failed in 131 (15.5%) and in 10 (2.3%), with the 6 ml and the 3 ml device, respectively (P &lt; 0.001). Overall, EndoFaster detected H...
The novel version of the EndoFaster device operating with 3 ml gastric juice may be performed in virtually all patients, and it allows excluding H. pylori infection with a very high accuracy. Gastric ...
The purpose of the study was to investigate the protective effect of three in-office preventive treatments with bioactive materials against enamel erosion induced by artificial gastric juice similar t...
Enamel surface loss was evaluated using confocal microscopy, while changes in enamel surface roughness and morphology were also investigated after the treatments. SEM and EDS were used to observe form...
All the experimental groups reduced significantly enamel surface loss compared to the negative control group (p < 0.05), except for the MI Pearls treatment (p > 0.05). The most protective behavior aga...
BioMinF and ProSylc treatments may be beneficial against dental erosion induced by gastric juice in GERD patients, while MI Pearls treatment may not suitable for this indication. Both materials promot...
Researchers have investigated different techniques for synthesis of carbon dots. These techniques include Arc discharge, laser ablation, oxidation, water/solvothermal, and chemical vapor deposition. H...
Medicago sativa L (alfalfa)-derived N, S-CDs have been successfully synthesized via microwave irradiation. The N,S-CDs exhibit strong fluorescence (λ...
The suggested approach primarily centers on the first-time use of alfalfa, an ecologically sustainable source of dopped-CDs, and a cost-effective synthesis technique via microwave irradiation, which i...
The purpose of this study is to evaluate, over a simulated 5-year period, the effect of simulated gastric juice alternated with brushing on CAD-CAM monolithic materials considering microhardness, subs...
Blocks from Lava Ultimate (LU), Vita Enamic (VE), IPS Empress CAD (EMP), IPS e.max CAD (EMAX), and Vita Suprinity (VS) were milled into cylinders and sliced into disks. The EMAX and VS were crystalliz...
The microhardness of the LU was not influenced by the treatment, whereas that of the other materials, in certain years, was significantly lower in the gastric juice + brushing groups in comparison wit...
All materials were somehow impaired by the gastric juice + brushing in at least one of the evaluated parameters, except for the BFS. However, in a deeper analysis, the LU would be the least indicated ...
Ginsenosides have poor oral bioavailability and undergo rapid biological transformation in the complex gastrointestinal environment. Most studies on the metabolism of ginsenosides have focused on gut ...
