Terlipressin and Albumin in Patients with Cirrhosis and Type I Hepatorenal Syndrome
Sergio Neri,Pulvirenti D,Mariano Malaguarnera,Bruno M. Cosimo,Gaetano Bertino,Luca Ignaccolo,Sebasiano Siringo,Pietro Castellino +7 more
TL;DR: It seems to confirm that the administration of terlipressin plus albumin improves renal function in patients with cirrhosis and type I HRS and that a reversal of hepatorenal syndrome is strongly associated with improved survival.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrasound imaging in diagnosis of superior mesenteric artery syndrome.
Sergio Neri,Salvatore Santo Signorelli,E. Mondati,Pulvirenti D,Campanile E,L. Di Pino,M. Scuderi,N. Giustolisi,P. Di Prima,B. Mauceri,Giuseppe Abate,D. Cilio,M. Misseri,R. Scuderi +13 more
TL;DR: A cohort of subjects affected by various degree of dyspepsia was screened to reveal if they presented a reduction of the aorto‐mesenteric angle and to diagnose suspected cases of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of antioxidant supplementation on postprandial oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction: a single-blind, 15-day clinical trial in patients with untreated type 2 diabetes, subjects with impaired glucose tolerance, and healthy controls.
Sergio Neri,Salvatore Santo Signorelli,Benedetto Torrisi,Pulvirenti D,B. Mauceri,Giuseppe Abate,Luca Ignaccolo,Fabio Bordonaro,D. Cilio,Stefano Calvagno,C Leotta +10 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the use of anti-oxidants may have decreased oxidative stress in patients with early-stage, untreated type 2 diabetes mellitus and those with IGT, but these postprandial changes were reverse in all subjects after 15 days of standard antioxidant supplementation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Randomized clinical trial to compare the effects of methadone and buprenorphine on the immune system in drug abusers
Sergio Neri,Bruno Cm,Pulvirenti D,Mariano Malaguarnera,C. Italiano,B. Mauceri,Giuseppe Abate,D. Cilio,Stefano Calvagno,A. Tsami,Luca Ignaccolo,D. Interlandi,Loredana Prestianni,M. Ricchena,Noto R +14 more
TL;DR: Buprenorphine can be a valid alternative to methadone in maintenance treatment of chronic heroin abuse and referred a marked decline in depression, and elevated cytokine levels observed may suggest that the two drugs stimulate immunologic hyperactivation of an immune system that was formerly inhibited by heroin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidative stress, nitric oxide, endothelial dysfunction and tinnitus
Sergio Neri,Signorelli S,Pulvirenti D,B. Mauceri,D. Cilio,Fabio Bordonaro,Giuseppe Abate,Donatella Interlandi,M. Misseri,Luca Ignaccolo,Marina Savastano,Rita Azzolina,Calogero Grillo,Agostino Messina,Agostino Serra,A. Tsami +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether pathogenic endothelial dysfunction is involved in acute idiopathic tinnitus in 44 patients and 25 healthy volunteers, and they found higher plasma concentrations of oxidative markers and L-arginine, and lower nitric oxide and Lornitine levels were observed in the internal jugular vein and brachial vein.
