Gut Microbiota at the Crossroad of Hepatic Oxidative Stress and MASLD by Fabrizio Termite, Sebastiano Archilei, Francesca D’Ambrosio, Lucrezia Petrucci, Nicholas Viceconti, Roberta Iaccarino, Antonio Liguori, Antonio Gasbarrini, Luca Miele

“…Gut microbiota plays a substantial role in modulating hepatic oxidative stress through multiple pathways: impairing the intestinal barrier, which results in bacterial translocation and chronic hepatic inflammation; modifying bile acid structure, which impacts signaling cascades involved in lipidic metabolism; influencing hepatocytes’ ferroptosis, a form of programmed cell death; regulating trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) metabolism; and activating platelet function, both recently identified as pathogenetic factors in MASH progression. …”

Sepsis in Internal Medicine: blood culture-based subtypes, hospital outcomes, and predictive biomarkers by Gaetano Zizzo, Gabriele Guazzardi, Daniela Bompane, Francesco Di Terlizzi, Giorgio Rotola, Ilario Stefani, Michela Medugno, Mario Bucalo, Antonino Mazzone

“…C-reactive protein elevation predicted rapidly evolving culture-negative sepsis, whereas lower leukocyte counts predicted prolonged hospitalization; higher fractions of inspired oxygen predicted polymicrobial sepsis, while lactate elevation predicted ICU transfer; ferritin elevation and increased leukocyte counts predicted MDR+ sepsis, while further ferritin elevation and decreased platelet counts predicted death. From 2016 to 2023, MDR+ sepsis frequency declined, due to decreased resistance to several antibiotic classes, such as cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones, and aminoglycosides; however, carbapenemase- and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Gram-negative bacteria, as well as vancomycin-resistant enterococci, increased, as did the frequency of polymicrobial sepsis following the COVID-19 outbreak.ConclusionThis work provides novel insights into sepsis management in internal medicine units, highlighting the need for validated biomarkers and implemented therapies in this scenario.…”
