Active search for hepatitis C patients in Primary Care
CONCLUSIONS: Active search for patients with hepatitis C in PC together with the OSD are effective measures to detect hidden infections and to increase the number of treatments, contributing to the elimination of hepatitis C.PMID:34284593 | DOI:10.17235/reed.2021.8067/2021

Correlation of Serum Vitamin D Levels to Vascular Access Dysfunction in Prevalent Hemodialysis
AbstractVascular access dysfunction in hemodialysis patients has been correlated to low serum vitamin D level in previous studies. Vitamin D deficiency and hepatitis C virus infection have been linked to endothelial cell dysfunction, promoting inflammatory cascade.30 negative -& 30 positive - hepatitis C virus patients on prevalent hemodialysis in Ain Shams University Hospitals, were enrolled in the study. All patients had access blood flow< 800  ml/min. For all patients we performed: complete physical examination, complete blood count, serum ferritin, ESR 1st and 2nd hours, CRP, blood urea, serum creatinine, seru...

Vascular Complications After Orthotopic Liver Transplantation in Estonia
We present the incidence and treatment of VC occurring among our first 23 OLT in 22 patients. The 11 female and 11 male patients were aged 12 to 67 years. Their diagnoses were cholestatic disease (n = 8); hepatitis C virus (HCV) cirrhosis (n = 6); tumor (n = 3); Budd-Chiari syndrome (n = 2); autoimmune hepatitis (n = 1); cystic fibrosis (n = 1); or fulminant hepatic failure (n = 1). Only end-to-end vascular reconstructions were used in OLT. The patients' 1-year post-OLT survival rate was 86%. VC were confirmed using computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In cases of VC, we started a 1-week course of ...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension in patients treated with interferon
Isolated cases of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in patients treated with interferon (IFN) α or β have been reported in the literature. The aim of this study was to describe all consecutive cases of PAH patients with a history of IFN exposure identified in the French reference centre for severe pulmonary hypertension between 1998 and 2012. A total of 53 patients with PAH and a history of IFN therapy were identified. 48 patients had been treated with IFNα for chronic hepatitis C. Most of them had portal hypertension (85%) and 56% had HIV co-infection. Five additional patients had been treated with IF...

Evidence for a vascular microbiome and its role in vessel health and disease
Purpose of review: We have summarized available evidence for and against the presence of a vascular microbiome. Studies that have attempted to detect bacteria and viruses in blood vessels in both health and disease are critiqued in an attempt to explain contrary results that may be due to variations in methodology. Recent findings: Many studies have demonstrated the presence of both bacteria and viruses within diseased blood vessels. Evidence is most compelling in atherosclerosis; however, recent reports have raised questions about the potential role of microbes in nonatherosclerotic aortic aneurysms and vasculitis. Prelim...

Intrahepatic vascular changes in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: Potential role of insulin-resistance and endothelial dysfunction.
Abstract Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of several clinical conditions characterized by insulin-resistance and high cardiovascular risk. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is the liver expression of the metabolic syndrome, and insulin resistance can be a frequent comorbidity in several chronic liver diseases, in particular hepatitis C virus infection and/or cirrhosis. Several studies have demonstrated that insulin action is not only relevant for glucose control, but also for vascular homeostasis. Insulin regulates nitric oxide production, which mediates to a large degree the vasodilating, anti-inflammatory and ant...

Direct-acting antiviral drugs for chronic hepatitis C and risk of major vascular events: a systematic review
AbstractDirect-acting antiviral drugs (DAAs) were recently approved for treating hepatitis C virus-related chronic hepatitis. As advanced chronic liver disease may predispose patients to thrombotic events, it is still uncertain whether DAAs may influence the actual risk of major arterial and venous thrombotic events. We performed a systematic review to assess the incidence of major vascular events in patients receiving DAAs for HCV chronic hepatitis during phase-III randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Two reviewers identified studies through Pubmed database until October 2015. Reporting and incidence of any vascular event...

Flash Imaging Used in the Post-vascular Phase of Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasonography is Useful for Assessing the Progression in Patients with Hepatitis C Virus-Related Liver Disease
This study enrolled 409 patients (205 men, 204 women) with hepatitis C virus –related liver disease (CLD) between 2007 and 2017 (mean age 60 ± 14 y; range 20–90 y). In the post-vascular phase, 10 min after administering Sonazoid, flash imaging was performed to burst MB in the liver parenchyma; the range of bubble destruction was measured from the surface of the liver.

Prognostic value of vascular endothelial growth factor in both conventional and drug eluting beads transarterial chemoembolization for treatment of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma in HCV patients.
CONCLUSION: VEGF serum levels may predict response to therapy in patients treated by DEB-TACE or cTACE but it has no relation to tumor recurrence. PMID: 32933325 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Neutrophils drive pulmonary vascular leakage in MHV-1 infection of susceptible A/J mice
ConclusionsThese results suggest that host susceptibility to pulmonary coronaviral infections may be governed in part by underlying differences in neutrophil phenotypes, which can vary between mice strains, through mechanisms involving primary granule proteins as mediators of neutrophil-driven lung injury.

Nonviral or Drug-Induced Etiologies of Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure (Autoimmune, Vascular, and Malignant)
Vascular, autoimmune hepatitis, and malignant causes of acute-on-chronic liver failure are rare but important to consider and investigate in patients with underlying liver disease who present with acute deterioration and other more common etiologies have been excluded. Vascular processes including Budd –Chiari syndrome and portal vein thrombosis require imaging for diagnosis and anticoagulation is the mainstay of therapy. Patients may require advanced interventional therapy including transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt or consideration of liver transplantation. Autoimmune hepatitis is a complex disease entity t...

Hepatocellular Carcinoma: High Hepatitis B Viral Load and Mortality in Patients Treated with Transarterial Chemoembolization Vascular and Interventional Radiology
The results of this study show that a high serum level of hepatitis B virus DNA before transarterial chemoembolization has an adverse effect on overall survival related to the rapid progression of hepatocellular carcinoma after transarterial chemoembolization and subsequent cancer progression–related deterioration of hepatic function.
