Journal ArticleDOI
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease a feature of the metabolic syndrome
Giulio Marchesini,Mara Brizi,Giampaolo Bianchi,Sara Tomassetti,Elisabetta Bugianesi,Marco Lenzi,Arthur J. McCullough,S. Natale,Gabriele Forlani,Nazario Melchionda +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that NAFLD, in the presence of normoglycemia and normal or moderately increased body weight, is characterized by clinical and laboratory data similar to those found in diabetes and obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Multidimensional Index and Staging System for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Brett Ley,Christopher J. Ryerson,Eric Vittinghoff,Jay H. Ryu,Sara Tomassetti,Joyce S. Lee,Venerino Poletti,Matteo Buccioli,Brett M. Elicker,Kirk D. Jones,Talmadge E. King,Harold R. Collard +11 more
TL;DR: The GAP models use commonly measured clinical and physiologic variables to predict mortality in patients with IPF and perform similarly in pooled follow-up visits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metformin in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.
TL;DR: Patients who had steatohepatitis but were not alcoholics were treated with metformin (500 mg three times a day for 4 months), an agent that improves hepatic insulin sensitivity and insulin sensitivity, and liver volume decreased.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: BLC is a new biopsy method that has a meaningful impact on diagnostic confidence in the multidisciplinary diagnosis of interstitial lung disease and may prove useful in the diagnosis of IPF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Safety and Diagnostic Yield of Transbronchial Lung Cryobiopsy in Diffuse Parenchymal Lung Diseases: A Comparative Study versus Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Lung Biopsy and a Systematic Review of the Literature.

TL;DR: Cryobiopsy is safe and has lower complication and mortality rates compared to SLB, and TBLC might be considered the first diagnostic approach for obtaining tissue in ILDs, reserving the surgical approach for cases in which TBLC is not diagnostic.
