Diastolic function abnormalities in rheumatoid arthritis. Evaluation by echo Doppler transmitral flow and pulmonary venous flow: relation with duration of disease
- M. Di FrancoM. Paradiso A. Musca
- 1 March 2000
Medicine
RA patients, in absence of clinical evidence of heart disease, show diastolic dysfunction characterised by impaired E/A and S/D ratio, and the relation between transmitral flow alteration and disease duration suggests a sub-clinical myocardial involvement.
Prevalence and clinical features of skin diseases in chronic HCV infection. A prospective study in 96 patients.
- V. PaolettiA. Mammarella A. Musca
- 1 December 2002
Medicine
The findings show a calculated prevalence of clinical dermatoses in HCV infected patients around 12.5%, which confirms however the importance of liver examination in presence of skin diseases not related to other pathogenetic mechanisms.
Increased Soluble P-Selectin Levels in Hepatitis C Virus-Related Chronic Hepatitis
- P. FerroniA. Mammarella S. Basili
- 1 September 2001
Medicine
The hypothesis that HCV infection might be directly responsible for a condition of in vivo platelet activation in patients with chronic C hepatitis is supported.
Association between human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and interferon- induced thyroid diseases in four patients with HCV-related chronic hepatitis.
- G. LabbadiaA. Martocchia P. Falaschi
- 1 April 2005
Medicine
This case report suggests that HLA system examination is an important and promising diagnostic aspect that may be considered in order to evaluate the appearance of thyroid disorders during the IFN-alpha treatment for HCV-related chronic hepatitis.

Natural history of cardiac involvement in myotonic dystrophy (Steinert’s Disease): A 13-year follow-up study
- A. MammarellaM. Paradiso A. Musca
- 1 September 2000
Medicine
Cardiac involvement generally worsened more rapidly than did skeletal muscle disease, and the incidence and seriousness of arrhythmic and conduction disturbances correlated with the severity of the muscular involvement.
Autonomic dysfunction and microvascular damage in systemic sclerosis
- M. FrancoM. ParadisoV. RiccieriS. BasiliA. MammarellaG. Valesini
- 18 January 2007
Environmental Science, Medicine
An abnormal autonomic nervous control of the heart might contribute to identify subclinical cardiac involvement in SSc patients and the coexistence of autonomic dysfunction with a more severe microvascular damage could be considered a potential prognostic tool in the identification of those patients particularly at risk for cardiac mortality.

Persistent Hepatitis G Virus (HGV) Infection in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients and Non-B, Non-C Chronic Hepatitis
- M. GrassiA. Mammarella M. Pezzella
- 23 January 2001
Medicine
HGV does not seem to be responsible for hepatic disease and no considerable deterioration of general health conditions was observed on the basis of clinical and laboratory data in HGV-positive chronic hepatitis patients.
[Efficacy and tolerability of captopril-hydrochlorothiazide vs amiloride-hydrochlorothiazide combination in mild to moderate arterial hypertension].
- A. MammarellaV. PaolettiM. BarlattaniG. LeoneC. FilippelloA. Mariani
- 30 April 1989
Medicine
Neither combination induced significant changes in the other parameters, especially as far as potassemia was concerned, but the captopril-hydrochlorothiazide combination reduced blood pressure more readily and proved more effective in reducing diastolic values.
