Relationship between serum bilirubin levels and cardiovascular disease
PLoS ONE, 2018 We tested the hypothesis that higher levels of bilirubin, a bile pigment with antioxidant properties, are associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.The calibration plots of the updated risk models for the endpoints were analyzed in each cohort. The predicted probability of each endpoint matched the observed probability in the development and validation cohorts. Abstract Aim Risk prediction models for mortality, severe postoperative complications, and postoperative pancreatic fistula in patients ...

Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, 2018 Unconjugated bilirubin is considered a potent antioxidant when present at moderate levels. However, at high concentrations, it produces severe neurological damage and death associated with kernicterus due to oxidative stress and other mechanisms.

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.In 2022, emergency cases with difficulties in transport markedly increased during the COVID‐19 pandemic, but had little effect on short‐term outcomes of colorectal perforation. These data suggest that the emergency system for patients with colorectal perforation was largely maintained during the pandemic in Japan, with no evidence indicating a serious ...

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018 Bilirubin is a well-known neurotoxin in newborn infants; however, current evidence has shown that a higher serum bilirubin concentration in physiological ranges is associated with a lower risk for the development and progression of both chronic kidney ...

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.The hepatospleno volume ratio and prealbumin levels 3 mo after major hepatectomy for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma are significant predictors of postoperative chronic liver failure (PCLF). The importance of this finding is that it emphasizes the need for targeted postoperative nutritional support and regular screening endoscopy to mitigate the risk of ...

Interpreting Missing Data Patterns in the ICU [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 PURPOSE: Clinical examinations are performed on the basis of necessity. However, our decisions to investigate and document are influenced by various other factors, such as workload and preconceptions. Data missingness patterns may contain insights into conscious and unconscious norms of clinical practice.

Antioxidant bilirubin works in multiple ways to reduce risk for obesity and its health complications
Open Heart, 2018 Gilbert syndrome (GS) is a common genetic variant in which plasma unconjugated bilirubin levels are elevated throughout life, in the absence of hepatic pathology.1 This typically reflects decreased hepatic capacity for conjugation of bilirubin coupled ...

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.Fibrosis‐3 index (FIB‐3) can stratify the risk of the survival and the recurrence‐free survival. The FIB‐3 index is a reliable, age‐independent tool for assessing liver fibrosis and prognosis in HCC patients post‐hepatectomy. Its use may improve clinical outcomes and support personalized treatment strategies. Abstract Background Liver fibrosis is a key

Revista Ciencias Biomédicas, 2010 The biliary lithiasis is a major problem in Western health systems; many studies have identified several risk factors including increased cholesterol saturation, which is why most of the gallstones can be dissolved with bile salts, but this constitutes a
