Steatosis and insulin resistance in hepatitis C: a way out for the virus?Email this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) induces lipid accumulation in vitro and in vivo. The pathogenesis of steatosis is due to both viral and host factors. Viral steatosis is mostly reported in patients with genotype 3a, whereas metabolic steatosis is often associated with genotype 1 and metabolic syndrome. Several molecular mechanisms responsible for steatosis have been associated with the HCV core protein, which is able to induce gene expression and activity of sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (SREBP1) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma), increasing the transcription of genes involved in...

Achalasia is a primary motor disorder of the esophagus, in which esophageal emptying is impaired. Diagnosis of achalasia is based on clinical findings. The diagnosis is confirmed by radiographic, endoscopic, and manometric evaluations. Several treatments for achalasia have been introduced. We searched the PubMed Database for original articles and meta-analyses about achalasia to summarize the current knowledge regarding this disease, with particular focus on different procedures that are used for treatment of achalasia. We also report the Iranian experience of treatment of this disease, since it could be considered as ...

Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
Several studies have demonstrated that the outcome of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) infection is profoundly influenced by a variety of comorbidities. Many of these comorbidities have a significant influence on the response to antiviral therapy. These comorbidities negatively affect the course and outcome of liver disease, often reducing the chance of achieving a sustained virological response with PEGylated interferon and ribavirin treatments. Comorbidities affecting response to antiviral therapy reduce compliance and adherence to inadequate doses of therapy. The most important comorbidities affecting the course of CHC inc...

A small percentage of patients who carry the diagnosis of refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) actually have eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). The purpose of this study was to describe a series of patients who underwent fundoplication for presumed refractory GERD, but subsequently were found to have EoE. We performed a retrospective analysis of our EoE database. Patients diagnosed with EoE after Nissen were identified. Cases were defined according to recent consensus guidelines. Five patients underwent anti-reflux surgery for refractory GERD, but were subsequently diagnosed with EoE. None had esophageal biopsies...
