Journal ArticleDOI

Luca Miele,Venanzio Valenza,Giuseppe La Torre,Massimo Montalto,Giovanni Cammarota,Riccardo Ricci,Roberta Mascianà,Alessandra Forgione,M.L. Gabrieli,Germano Perotti,Fabio Maria Vecchio,Gian Lodovico Rapaccini,Giovanni Gasbarrini,Christopher P. Day,Antonio Grieco +14 more
TL;DR: In patients with NAFLD, both gut permeability and the prevalence of SIBO correlated with the severity of steatosis but not with presence of NASH, and the increased permeability appears to be caused by disruption of intercellular tight junctions in the intestine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence, characteristics and severity of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in patients with chronic plaque psoriasis☆
Luca Miele,Selenia Vallone,Consuelo Cefalo,Gioacchino Francesco La Torre,Carmine Di Stasi,Fabio Maria Vecchio,Magda D'Agostino,M.L. Gabrieli,V. Vero,Marco Biolato,Maurizio Pompili,Giovanni Gasbarrini,Gian Lodovico Rapaccini,Pierluigi Amerio,Clara De Simone,Alessandro Grieco +15 more
TL;DR: NAFLD is highly prevalent among psoriasis patients, where it is closely associated with obesity (overall and abdominal), metabolic syndrome, and PsA, and more likely to cause severe liver fibrosis (compared with nonPs- NAFLD).
Journal ArticleDOI
Prognosis of untreated hepatocellular carcinoma
Edoardo G. Giannini,Fabio Farinati,Francesca Ciccarese,A. Pecorelli,Gian Lodovico Rapaccini,Mariella Di Marco,Luisa Benvegnù,Eugenio Caturelli,Marco Zoli,Franco Borzio,Maria Chiaramonte,Franco Trevisani +11 more
TL;DR: In untreated patients with advanced HCC, female gender, clinical decompensation of cirrhosis, and multinodular tumor are independent prognostic predictors and should be taken into account for patient stratification in future therapeutic studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survival benefit of liver resection for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma across different Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer stages: A multicentre study
Alessandro Vitale,Patrizia Burra,Anna Chiara Frigo,Franco Trevisani,Fabio Farinati,Gaya Spolverato,Michael L. Volk,Edoardo G.

TL;DR: Resection could result in survival benefit over LRT for HCC patients regardless of their BCLC stage, provided that liver dysfunction (Child B or MELD>9) and PST>1 are absent.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the refined definition of the typical contrast enhanced ultrasound pattern of HCC introduced by the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) practically abolishes the risk of misdiagnosis of other malignant entities (e.g. cholangiocarcinoma) for HCC with negligible reduction in sensitivity.
