Comparison between Nageotte and flow cytometric counting of residual leucocytes in freshly prepared leucocyte-reduced red blood cell components
(2018)
Background Flow cytometry (FC) and Nageotte hemocytometry represent the most widely accepted methods for counting residual white blood cells (rWBCs) in leucocyte-reduced (LR) blood components. Our aim was to study the ...
Interleukin gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to HIV-1 infection: a meta-analysis
(2018)
Some subjects are repeatedly exposed to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), yet they remain uninfected. This suggests the existence of host-resistance mechanisms. The current study synthesizes the evidence regarding the ...
Comparative assessment of budesonide-MMX and mesalamine in active, mild-to-moderate ulcerative colitis: A systematic review and network meta-analysis
(2019)
Aims The comparative efficacy, safety and tolerability of budesonide-MMX and oral mesalamine in active, mild-to-moderate ulcerative colitis (UC) are unclear. We conducted a network meta-analysis to fill this evidence gap. ...

Environmental Risk Factors for Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: An Umbrella Review of Meta-analyses
(2019)
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Multiple environmental factors have been associated with the development of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). We performed an umbrella review of meta-analyses to summarize available epidemiologic ...
Laboratory Assessment of the Anticoagulant Activity of Apixaban in Patients With Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation
(2018)
Our aim is to determine the most appropriate laboratory tests, besides anti-factor Xa (anti-FXa) chromogenic assays, to estimate the degree of anticoagulation with apixaban and compare it with that of rivaroxaban in ...
Comparative safety of systemic and low-bioavailability steroids in inflammatory bowel disease: Systematic review and network meta-analysis
(2018)
Aims Oral systemic corticosteroids have been used to induce remission in patients with active inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) for over 50 years
Thromboelastometry for diagnosis of neonatal sepsis-associated coagulopathy: an observational study
(2018)
Our aim was to evaluate the potential role of standard extrinsically activated thromboelastometry (EXTEM) assay in the early detection of neonatal sepsis. We studied 91 hospitalized neonates categorized in two groups: group ...
