Journal ArticleDOI
Helicobacter pylori impairs iron absorption in infected individuals
Carolina Ciacci,F. Sabbatini,Raimondo Cavallaro,Fabiana Castiglione,S. Di Bella,Paola Iovino,Alessandro Palumbo,Raffaella Tortora,D. Amoruso,Gabriele Mazzacca +9 more
TL;DR: H. pylori infection impairs iron uptake and that mechanism, together with others, may contribute to the depletion of iron in infected patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic syndrome in patients with coeliac disease on a gluten-free diet
Raffaella Tortora,Pietro Capone,G. De Stefano,Nicola Imperatore,N. Gerbino,Sara Donetto,V. Monaco,Nicola Caporaso,Antonio Rispo +8 more
TL;DR: Several studies have shown that weight changes are common in patients with coeliac disease after starting a gluten‐free diet (GFD), but data on the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in this population are still scarce.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatigue in adult coeliac disease.
Monica Siniscalchi,Paola Iovino,Raffaella Tortora,S. Forestiero,A. Somma,L. Capuano,M.D. Franzese,F. Sabbatini,Carolina Ciacci +8 more
TL;DR: This work has shown that fatigue is reported by many adults at the moment of diagnosis of coeliac disease and during follow-up and in the period of follow‐up after diagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiofrequency ablation versus laser ablation for the treatment of small hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhosis: a randomized trial.
Giovan Giuseppe Di Costanzo,Raffaella Tortora,Giuseppe D'Adamo,Massimo De Luca,F. Lampasi,Luigi Addario,A. Lanza,F.P. Picciotto,Maria Teresa Tartaglione,G. Cordone,Michele Imparato,Silvana Mattera,Claudio Maurizio Pacella +12 more
TL;DR: A non‐inferiority randomized trial comparing RFA with LA in patients with cirrhosis and HCC within Milan criteria is performed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gliadin does not induce mucosal inflammation or basophil activation in patients with nonceliac gluten sensitivity.
Cristina Bucci,Fabiana Zingone,Ilaria Russo,Ivonne Morra,Raffaella Tortora,Norberto Pogna,Giulia Scalia,Paola Iovino,Carolina Ciacci +8 more
TL;DR: Mucosa from patients with NCGS does not express markers of inflammation, and their basophils are not activated by gliadin, and the in vitro gliadel challenge therefore should not be used to diagnose NCGS.
