Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

The natural history of autoimmune hepatitis/primary sclerosing cholangitis overlap syndrome
No full textClinical course and outcome of autoimmune hepatitis/primary sclerosing cholangitis overlap syndrome
No full textAutoimmune hepatitis/primary sclerosing cholangitis (AIH/PSC) overlap syndrome is a relatively uncommon variant of PSC.
AIM:
To evaluate the natural history of AIH/PSC overlap syndrome compared to a group of "classical" PSC.
METHODS:
Forty-one consecutive PSC patients, with a regular follow-up of at least 2 years, were prospectively included in the study. Among these, 7 fulfilled the criteria for AIH/PSC overlap syndrome.
RESULTS:
The AIH/PSC overlap group significantly differed from the "classical" PSC group in the following parameters: mean age at presentation (21.4 +/- 5.0 vs 32.3 +/- 10 years, p < 0.01), AST 191.0 +/- 14.8 vs 48.9 +/- 34.5 U/L, p < 0.005), ALT (357.0 +/- 26.5 vs 83.7 +/- 60.7 U/L, p < 0.005) and serum IgG (25.6 +/- 4.7 vs 12.9 +/- 6.0 mg/dl, p < 0.0001). The mean follow-up was similar in the 2 groups (93.3 +/- 65.9 vs 98.1 +/- 65.9 months respectively). Treatment included immunosuppression + ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in the AIH/PSC overlap patients, and UDCA in the "classical" PSC group. Deaths were recorded only in the classical PSC group. The median survival in the latter group was 207 months (95% C.I. 87.6-326.4). The major events during the follow-up included: OLTx (1/7 vs 6/34), and neoplasms (only in the group of "classical" PSC). The new Mayo score prognostic index only increased significantly during follow-up in the "classical" PSC group (r2 0.8117, p < 0.01)
CONCLUSION:
Patients with AIH/PSC overlap syndrome seem to benefit from immunosuppression + UDCA therapy, survival is apparently better than in "classical" PSC condition

Is hepatitis C virus a risk factor for thyroid autoimmunity?
No full textThe role of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in inducing thyroid autoimmunity is still under discussion and to assess the prevalence of thyroid autoantibodies and thyroid disease in the general population and to analyse the role of HCV in inducing thyroid autoimmunity. We studied 697 subjects residing in Arsita (a small town in central Italy). Thyroid autoantibodies and nonorgan-specific autoantibodies (NOSAs) were tested in each subject, who were also screened for anti-HCV antibodies; all subjects found positive to HCV-RNA were considered as being HCV-infected. Thyroid function tests were performed in all subjects positive for thyroid autoantibody. Seventy-one subjects were found HCV-positive; four of these (5.6%) were positive for at least one thyroid autoantibody, as opposed to 7 (4.9%) of the 142 sex- and age-matched controls of the same population (P = n.s.). Thyroid dysfunction was found in 2/4 HCV-positive, and in 1/7 HCV-negative subjects with thyroid autoantibodies (P = n.s.). NOSAs were significantly more common in HCV-positive than in HCV-negative subjects (P < 0.0001). Hence HCV per se is not responsible for thyroid autoimmune dysfunction, whereas HCV does seem to induce NOSAs. It should be taken into account, however, that the phenotypic expression of autoimmune diseases is obviously influenced by a number of risk factors, including genetic predisposition, female sex and infectious agents, that could trigger the onset of the disease
