Portal Vein Diameter In Cirrhotic And Non Cirrhotic Patients. A Sonographic Comparison

by Kiran Tahir

42,25€ + 10% CARD

 Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2022 in the subject Medicine - Internal Medicine, grade: A+, University of Lahore (University of Lahore), course: Msc Ultrasound, language: English, abstract: This publication aims to compare the portal vein diameter in cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic patients through ultrasound. Liver cirrhosis is a clinical condition in which the normal liver parenchyma is replaced with fibrosis in such a situation it becomes difficult for blood to easily pass through the Portohepatic venous system. Therefore, the portal vein becomes engorged and increases in diameter, while blood flow velocity reduces. Portal hypertension is clearly-defined as the rise of portal venous pressure, largely due to cirrhosis, which leads to increased hepatic vascular resistance and engorgement of the blood in the portal venous system. This disease may result in an array of disorders, like that the development of collateral vessels for returning of the blood to the right atrium with the potentiality for intestinal bleeding, development of ascites, encephalopathy, and formation of a 11 hyper-dynamic circulation involving peripheral and splanchnic vessels, related with the malfunction of kidneys, the heart, the lungs, and the brain.

Usage Of Vitamin D For Viral Infections With A Focus On Covid-19 Disease And The Proposal Of A Study Design

by Felix Rubenbauer

18,27€ + 10% CARD

 Bachelor Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Medicine - Internal Medicine, grade: 1,5, , language: English, abstract: In recent years, the popularity of vitamin D has risen in the alternative medicine spectrum as a "universal" substance for all sorts of diseases. Although many of the claims cannot be backed by scientific evidence, strong evidence still demonstrates the beneficial effects of vitamin D for treating various conditions that are not directly related to hypovitaminosis. Currently, there is evidence that demonstrates that the supplementation of vitamin D can prevent or relieve upper respiratory infections and endemic influenza. Additionally, herpesviruses are responsive to treatments that incorporate vitamin D, and antibody titers seem to be higher in individuals with higher vitamin D levels. For viral hepatitis, viral DNA load and seasonal fluctuating vitamin D levels seem to correlate with each other. Regarding Covid-19, there is a clear correlation between the disease's course and duration and vitamin D serum levels. However, it remains unclear whether low vitamin D levels can increase an individual's susceptibility to Covid-19 or whether Covid-19 causes low vitamin D levels. Furthermore, it is unclear whether a part of Covid-19's typical symptoms could be caused by a vitamin D deficiency. To uncover high-quality evidence regarding this topic, the author proposed a clinical trial to evaluate the effects of vitamin D supplementation on Covid-19 hospitalisation rates.

Influence Of Ursodeoxycholic Acid In Liver Functional Restoration In Obstructive Jaundice After Endoscopic Treatment

by Enver Fekaj

42,20€ + 10% CARD

 Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2019 in the subject Medicine - Hospital Environment, Clinical Medicine, University of Prishtina, language: English, abstract: The aim of this study is the evaluation of the effect of UDCA in liver functional restoration of patients with obstructive jaundice in the early period after endoscopic intervention. Specific aims consisted on the evaluation of the effect of UDCA in relation to etiology of obstructive jaundice, to gender, and to age of patients. The most common causes of obstructive jaundice are choledocholithiasis, strictures of the biliary tract, cholangiocarcinoma, carcinoma of pancreas, pancreatitis, parasites and primary sclerosing cholangitis. When mechanical biliary obstruction is diagnosed, surgical, endoscopic or radiologic intervention is usually recommended. In this prospective, randomized, open-labeled, and controlled study, 62 patients were enrolled. After diagnosis, eligible patients with obstructive jaundice who met inclusion criteria were randomly divided in the investigation group, in which has been administered UDCA, and in the control group. UDCA administration started twenty-four hours after endoscopic treatment. It was administered at 750 mg/day, divided into three daily doses and lasted fourteen days. Serum-testing in patients with obstructive jaundice included determination of bilirubin (total and direct fractions), alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), gama-glutamil transpeptidase (GGT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), albumin, neutrophil/ lymphocyte ratio (N/L ratio), urea, glucose, and creatinine. These parameters were determined one day prior endoscopic intervention, and on the fifth, tenth, and fifteenth days after endoscopic intervention. The primary outcome measure in this study was bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, and GGT serum levels decreasing rate. The secondary outcome was assessment liver functional parameters in which, treatment with UDCA, have had greater impact. UDCA has accelerated reducing the level of total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, GGT, and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, but did not decrease the level of ALT, AST, and alkaline phosphatase, and did not induce increasing of albumin level. UDCA had greater impact on GGT than in other functional liver parameters. The effect of UDCA did not depend on the gender and the age of patients, but did depend on the etiology of obstructive jaundice. It was more effective in patients with choledocholithiasis than in patients with malign stenosis of biliary tree.
