Airway Mycobiota-Microbiota During Pulmonary Exacerbation of Cystic Fibrosis Patients: A Culture and Targeted Sequencing Study.

Mycoses

January 2025

Unité de Parasitologie-Mycologie, Département de Prévention, Diagnostic et Traitement Des Infections, CHU Henri Mondor, Assistance Publique Des Hôpitaux de Paris (APHP), Creteil, France.

Background: The airways of patients with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) harbour complex fungal and bacterial microbiota involved in pulmonary exacerbations (PEx) and requiring antimicrobial treatment. Descriptive studies analysing bacterial and fungal microbiota concomitantly are scarce, especially using both culture and high-throughput-sequencing (HTS).

Objectives: We analysed bacterial-fungal microbiota and inter-kingdom correlations in two French CF centres according to clinical parameters and antimicrobial choices.

Introduction And Objectives: The portal vein pressure higher than 10 mm Hg in patients with hepatic cirrhosis is more likely to have serious complications and poor prognosis. Nonselective receptor blockers (NSBBs) can reduce the portal vein pressure; however, the efficacy and safety of different NSBBs in reducing portal vein pressure were unconsistent. A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of carvedilol versus propranolol in reducing portal vein pressure in this study.

Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) remains a major cause of death and morbidity. Klotho is a well-known anti-ageing factor with relevant cardioprotective actions, at least when renal dysfunction is present, but its actions are much less known when renal function is preserved. This study investigated Klotho as a biomarker and potential novel treatment of IHD-associated complications after myocardial infarction (MI) under preserved renal function.

Background: Cirrhosis has been pointed out as a clinical entity that leads to worse clinical prognosis in COVID-19 patients. However, this concept is controversial in the literature. We aimed to evaluate clinical outcomes by comparing patients with cirrhosis to those without cirrhosis in a Brazilian cohort.

Cirrhosis and complications hepatocellular carcinoma - expanding indications for immunotherapy.

Acta Clin Belg

January 2025

Brussels Health Campus, Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, University Hospital Brussels (UZ Brussel), Brussels, Belgium.

The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is rising, with a shift towards Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Steatotic Liver Disease becoming the dominant risk factor in Western countries. Significant advances in treatment have broadened the range of available therapeutic options. For this reason, clinical decision-making, along with a multidisciplinary team approach, plays a crucial role in improving patient outcomes.
