Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Background: Changes in gut bacteria play a role in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and hepatic steatosis. There is a lack of studies evaluating the frequency and risk factors for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in patients tested for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). Aim: To evaluate the frequency of NAFLD and associated risk factors in patients tested for SIBO. Methods: In this case-control study, 372 eligible patients submitted to glucose hydrogen/methane breath test for SIBO who also had an abdominal imaging study were included. Patients were divided into SIBO-positive and SIBO-negative groups. Clinical, demographic and laboratory variables were evaluated in addition to the presence of NAFLD on abdominal imaging. Results: Of the 372 eligible patients, 141 (37.9%) were tested positive for SIBO (study group) and 231 (62.1%) were negative for it (control group). NAFLD occurred in 45.4% (64/141) of the study group compared to 17.3% (40/231) of the control group (p<0.001). Patients in the study group were found to have higher rates of elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (20.6% vs. 11.3%; p=0.034) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels (56.0% vs. 40.7%; p= 0.039), type 2 diabetes (23.4% vs. 13.9%; p=0.041), hypertension (54.6% vs. 40.3%; p=0.046) and metabolic syndrome (78.0% vs. 60.2%; p=0.020). In the multivariate analysis, SIBO (odds ratio [OR]: 1.95; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.14-3.31; p=0.014), type 2 DM (OR: 3.04; 95%CI: 1.57-5.90; p=0.001) and obesity (OR: 3.58; 95%CI: 1.70-7.54; p=0.001) remained associated with NAFLD.Conclusion: Patients with SIBO have an increased risk for hepatic steatosis and may benefit from aggressive control of the risk factors for NAFLD including metabolic syndrome.

Case Control Analysis

Background.Of the 13 US vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) cases, 8 were identified in southeastern Michigan, primarily in patients with chronic lower-extremity wounds. VRSA infections develop when the vanA gene from vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE) transfers to S. aureus. Incl8-like plasmids in VRE and pSK41-like plasmids in S. aureus appear to be important precursors to this transfer.Objective.Identify the prevalence of VRSA precursor organisms.Design.Prospective cohort with embedded case-control study.Participants.Southeastern Michigan adults with chronic lower-extremity wounds.Methods.Adults presenting to 3 southeastern Michigan medical centers during the period February 15 through March 4, 2011, with chronic lower-extremity wounds had wound, nares, and perirectal swab specimens cultured for S. aureus and VRE, which were tested for pSK41-like and Incl8-like plasmids by polymerase chain reaction. We interviewed participants and reviewed clinical records. Risk factors for pSK41-positive S. aureus were assessed among all study participants (cohort analysis) and among only S. aureus-colonized participants (case-control analysis).Results.Of 179 participants with wound cultures, 26% were colonized with methicillin-susceptible S. aureus, 27% were colonized with methicillin-resistant S. aureus, and 4% were colonized with VRE, although only 17% consented to perirectal culture. Six participants (3%) had pSK41-positive S. aureus, and none had Incl8-positive VRE. Having chronic wounds for over 2 years was associated with pSK41-positive S. aureus colonization in both analyses.Conclusions.Colonization with VRSA precursor organisms was rare. Having long-standing chronic wounds was a risk factor for pSK41-positive S. aureus colonization. Additional investigation into the prevalence of VRSA precursors among a larger cohort of patients is warranted.

The Relationship

This study was undertaken in order to identify the relationship between gender of children with autism and risk factors before/during pregnancy and childbirth. An analysis of 66 clinical records was divided into two groups defined by gender of children diagnosed with autism in Bogotá (Colombia). The data were collected with the Maternal Perinatal Risk Questionnaire and analyzed with Pearson Chi square. The most significant risks associated with gender in the minors were voluntary abortions, maternal difficulties in a previous pregnancy, surgery during pregnancy, conflicting parental relationships, demanding physical and cognitive activity, consumption of drugs in the mother, duration of pregnancy and birth weight. Among men there was as many prenatal factors while among girls had an enrollment over perinatal factors (before and during labor) and psychosocial.

Abstract Purpose Single coiling may be the optimal strategy for ruptured aneurysms. But assisted techniques may be needed in some aneurysms. The authors report their experience of double microcatheter technique in the treatment of ruptured aneurysms in anterior cerebral circulation. Methods Between 2012 and 2018, 82 patients with ruptured aneurysms in anterior cerebral circulation were treated with double microcatheter technique. The clinical records, angiographic results, procedure-related complications were reviewed. Clinical and angiographic follow-up was performed. Results Completely occlusion, neck remnant and partial occlusion were achieved in 56.6%, 36.1% and 7.2% in the whole procedures, respectively. The overall rate of morbidity was 8.5% (7/82). The rate of permanent morbidity was 3.7% (3/82). Three patients (3.7%) died before discharge. There was no procedure-related mortality. The favorable outcomes were obtained in 75.6% (62/82) of the whole patients at discharge. High Hunt-Hess grade and suffering from craniotomy or EVD were risk factors for clinical outcomes at discharge. Sixty-eight patients received clinical follow-up at a mean interval of 15.75±12.71 months. Favorable outcomes were obtained in 61 (89.7%) patients. Angiographic follow-up was performed in 44 patients at an average of 13.16±13.12 months. The recurrence rate is 34.1%. Seven of them (15.9%) received retreatment. Conclusion Double microcatheter technique is a safe and effective method for treatment of ruptured aneurysms in anterior cerebral aneurysms with low morbidity. Recurrence remains a problem. Patients should be followed up regularly.
