    (WILEY, 2007) Ibanez, Patricio; Solis, Nancy; Pizarro, Margarita; Aguayo, Gloria; Duarte, Ignacio; Miquel, Juan Francisco; Accatino, Luigi; Arrese, Marco
    Background and aim: Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a metabolic disorder of the liver that may evolve into fibrosis or cirrhosis. Recent studies have shown reduction of experimental liver fibrosis with the use of angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin-receptor antagonists. The aim of this study was to determine whether losartan can influence the early phase of fibrogenesis in an animal model of NASH.

    (2016) Figueroa, Rodrigo A.; Cortes, Paula F.; Accatino, Luigi; Sorensen, Richard
    Exposure to traumatic events is frequent in the general population and psychiatric sequelae such as post-traumatic stress disorders are common. The symptoms of psychiatric sequelae after trauma are vague, with multiple psychological and physical symptoms, which can confuse the health care professional. This paper seeks to facilitate the work in primary care, providing practical information about the diagnosis, initial management and referral of patients who have suffered traumatic experiences. Some early interventions and treatments are suggested.
