Question: Question: Does serum HCV RNA titer predict the severity of liver damage in HCV carriers with normal aminotransferase levels?
Answer: In HCV carriers with normal aminotransferase levels viraemia does not predict the grade of HCV-related chronic liver disease (CLD), although subjects with higher HCV RNA levels seem to have more severe fibrosis. Although these data suggest that patients with higher viraemia might have more intense architectural changes and more severe progression of liver disease than those with lower levels of HCV replication, the weak and imprecise correlation leads us to conclude that HCV RNA quantitation is not a useful indicator in clinical practice in the selection of patients for liver biopsy.

Answer: no


Question: Question: Is an absent pulse sensitive for the early detection of peripheral arterial disease?
Answer: Pulse palpation is not sensitive for the detection of PAD compared to ABI. More than two thirds of the patients within our cohort with PAD of either the left or right leg had a detectable pulse.

Answer: no


Question: Question: Is the Neuroprotective Effect of Genetic Mannose-binding Lectin Deficiency Sustained in the Sub-acute Phase of Stroke?
Answer: Development of a successful anti-complement neuroprotective strategy will require carefully-tailored inhibition coupled with a greater understanding of the functional effects of complement activation during later phases of stroke recovery.

Answer:
no
