Article Synopsis
- Hyperferritinemia (HF) is linked to metabolic diseases and has a newly established definition to better categorize patients.
- A study in Salzburg, Austria, analyzed data from 8408 participants aged 40-77, finding that 13% had HF, predominantly affecting men.
- 81% of those with HF met the metabolic criteria for classification as Metabolic Hyperferritinemia (MHF), indicating that this condition is prevalent among middle-aged individuals.
Background: Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a rare entity; in addition, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may impact its course and outcome. We investigated liver-related SNPs regarding its activity, as well as in relation to its stage and treatment response in a Central European AIH cohort.
Methods: A total of 113 AIH patients (i.
Background: We integrated a standardized questionnaire focusing on adverse events and performance measures in gastrointestinal endoscopy as a mandatory component of the electronical medical record.
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted using prospectively collected data on quality parameters and adverse events (AEPM) for all diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures at our center between 2018 and 2020.
Results: A total of 7532 consecutive endoscopic procedures were performed in 5035 patients.
Endoscopic optical diagnosis is crucial to the therapeutic strategy for early gastrointestinal cancer. It accurately (> 85 %) predicts pT category based on microsurface (SP) and vascular patterns (VP). However, interobserver variability is a major problem.
