Pathophysiological, Molecular and Therapeutic Issues of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: An Overview.

TL;DR: The work expands on the pathophysiology of NAFLD, examining multiple-hit pathogenesis and the role of different factors in hepatic steatosis development and progression: genetics, metabolic factors and insulin resistance, diet, adipose tissue, gut microbiota, iron deposits, bile acids and circadian clock.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gender-differences in disease distribution and outcome in hospitalized elderly: data from the REPOSI study.

Salvatore Corrao, +313 more
TL;DR: The study showed a gender dimorphism in the demographic and morbidity profiles of hospitalized elderly people, emphasizing once more the need for a personalized process of healthcare.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adherence to antithrombotic therapy guidelines improves mortality among elderly patients with atrial fibrillation: insights from the REPOSI study

Marco Proietti, +332 more
TL;DR: Non-adherence to guidelines is highly prevalent among elderly AF patients, despite guideline-adherent treatment being independently associated with lower risk of all-cause and CV deaths.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiovascular risk profile in subjects with prediabetes and new-onset type 2 diabetes identified by HbA(1c) according to American Diabetes Association criteria.

TL;DR: The data suggest that a simple, reproducible, and less expensive marker such as HbA1c may be better able to identify prediabetic subjects at high cardiovascular risk compared with fasting glycemia or OGTT alone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Atorvastatin but Not Pravastatin Impairs Mitochondrial Function in Human Pancreatic Islets and Rat β-Cells. Direct Effect of Oxidative Stress.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that atorvastatin but not pravastatin affected insulin release and mitochondrial metabolism due to the suppression of antioxidant defense system and induction of ROS production in pancreatic β-cell models, and mitochondrial oxidative stress is a key element in the pathogenesis of statin-related diabetes.
