Article Synopsis
- - Anemia is a common issue in patients with Celiac Disease (CD) and is often linked to iron deficiency, with over half of studied patients showing signs of mild to moderate anemia.
- - A study of 159 CD patients revealed that 46% of those initially anemic continued to have anemia even after following a strict gluten-free diet (GFD) for one year.
- - Factors like being female, having a lower body mass index (BMI), experiencing heavy menstrual bleeding, and having low ferritin levels were associated with persistent anemia, suggesting that some cases may stem from iron loss rather than malabsorption.
Background And Aims: A wheat-free diet (WFD) represents the elective treatment for Non-celiac Wheat Sensitivity (NCWS) patients. Preliminary reports have shown a possible better tolerability of ancient grains in these subjects. The aim of this observational study was to evaluate the frequency of consumption of ancient grains and its correlation with clinical manifestations in NCWS patients.

The study aims to investigate the frequency of neuropsychiatric manifestations in NCWS patients and identify their clinical and demographic characteristics.
Methods: 278 clinical records of NCWS patients, diagnosed by a double-blind placebo-controlled wheat challenge between 2006 and 2020, were retrospectively revised.
Since molecules with direct-acting antiviral (DAA) became available, the landscape of the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has completely changed. The new drugs are extremely effective in eradicating infection, and treatment is very well tolerated with a duration of 8-12 wk. This review aims to report the outstanding clinical benefits of DAA and to highlight their critical disadvantages, identifying some clinically relevant hot topics.
