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: Do antioxidants attenuate myocyte apoptosis in the remote non-infarcted myocardium following large myocardial infarction?
Answer: Long-term treatment with the antioxidants probucol and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate attenuates oxidative stress, myocyte apoptosis, caspase-3 like activity and the expression of p53, bax and caspase-3 within RM in rats after a large myocardial infarction.

Answer: yes


Question: Question: Are aBO antibody titers predictive of hemolytic reactions due to plasma-incompatible platelet transfusions?
Answer: A critical anti-A or -B titer is not sufficient to predict the risk of hemolysis in patients receiving plasma-incompatible APs, although underreporting of reactions to the blood bank may limit the generalizability of this study.

Answer:
no
