Stroke in HIV-infected individuals with and without HCV coinfection in Spain in the combination antiretroviral therapy era
by Alejandro Alvaro-Meca, Juan Berenguer, Asunci ón Díaz, Dariela Micheloud, Teresa Aldámiz-Echevarría, Chiara Fanciulli, Salvador Resino The incidence of stroke in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–infected individuals has been well analyzed in recent epidemiological studies. However, little is known about the specific contribution of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection to stroke among HIV-infected individuals. The aims of this st udy were to analyze trends in the incidence rates of stroke in HIV-infected individuals during the combination antiretroviral (cART) era in Spain and to categorize them by the presence or ...

Increased warfarin requirements in a patient with chronic hepatitis C infection receiving sofosbuvir and ribavirin.

Purinoreceptors and VZV Vasculopathy (P1.263)
Conclusions:Overall, VZV infection caused a transient rise in extracellular ATP. Importantly, we found that aside from its known antiplatelet effects, P2Y12 antagonist clopidogrel also inhibits VZV infection, independent of downstream inhibition of glycoprotein IIB/IIIA, and may serve as an alternative antiviral therapy for VZV vasculopathy.Disclosure: Dr. Wyborny has nothing to disclose.

Current level of evidence on causal association between Hepatitis C virus and type 2 diabetes: A review
Publication date: Available online 2 December 2016 Source:Journal of Advanced Research Author(s): Giacomo Gastaldi, Nicolas Goossens, Sophie Clément, Francesco Negro The association between hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and type 2 diabetes (T2D) has been known for over 20 years. Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies have shown a higher prevalence and incidence, respectively, of T2D in patients with chronic HCV infection. HCV induces glucose metabolism alterations mostly interfering with the insulin signalling chain in hepatocytes, although extrahepatic mechanisms seem to contribute. Both IR and T2D accelerate the ...

Dabigatran overdose: a case report of acute hepatitis. Extracorporeal treatment.
We report a case of dabigatran intoxication in an elderly man affected by heart failure and worsening renal function, who developed acute hepatitis and coma, which was successfully treated with continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration. Although extracorporeal therapy has been suggested as a strategy for clearing dabigatran during acute bleeding, this approach may be useful in other dabigatran-related, life-threatening conditions, such as that described in this report.

Blood transfusion services for patients with sickle cell disease in Nigeria
Conclusion Current efforts of Nigerian public hospitals to provide safe blood and CTT fall short of best practice. Provision of apheresis machines, improvement of voluntary non-remunerated donor drive, screening for red cell antigens and antibodies, and availability of iron chelators would significantly improve SCD care in Nigeria.

Management of Neurologic Manifestations in Patients with Liver Disease.
Abstract OPINION STATEMENT: Liver disease, both in its acute and chronic forms, can be associated with a wide spectrum of neurologic manifestations, both central and peripheral, ranging in severity from subclinical changes to neurocritical conditions. Neurologists are frequently consulted to participate in their management. In this review, we present an overview of management strategies for patients with hepatic disease whose clinical course is complicated by neurologic manifestations. Type A hepatic encephalopathy (HE), which occurs in acute liver failure, is a neurologic emergency, and multiple measures should b...

What The Government's Latest Asian-American Health Report Got Wrong
Asian-Americans fare better than the general population on five different measures of health, according to a new national study.  But though it may appear that the "model minority" myth about the 15 million Asians in America extends even to physical and mental health, experts say this finding obscures the truth about vast disparities between Asian subgroups -- and that the study's methodology may have prevented the elderly, immigrants and people who don't speak English from contributing to a more nuanced picture of the health status of Asians in America.  The report, published by the U.S. Center fo...
