      Background Acute exposure to cigarette smoke is related to airway and systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. Little is known about the acute effect of cigarette smoking in smoking asthmatics. The aim of this study was ...

    • Adrenomedullin refines mortality prediction by the BODE index in COPD: the "BODE-A" index 

      Stolz, D.; Kostikas, K.; Blasi, F.; Boersma, W.; Milenkovic, B.; Lacoma, A.; Louis, R.; Aerts, J. G.; Welte, T.; Torres, A.; Rohde, G. G. U.; Boeck, L.; Rakic, J.; Scherr, A.; Hertel, S.; Giersdorf, S.; Tamm, M. (2014)
      The BODE (body mass index, airflow obstruction, dyspnoea, exercise capacity) index is well-validated for mortality prediction in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Concentrations of plasma pro-adrenomedullin, a ...

    • Atopy does not affect the frequency of adenotonsillar hypertrophy and sleep apnoea in children who snore 

      Alexopoulos, E. I.; Bizakis, J.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Kaditis, A. G. (2014)
      AimViral respiratory infections and atopy have been implicated in the pathogenesis of adenotonsillar hypertrophy and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), but the role of atopy is controversial. We aimed to test our hypothesis ...

    • Forecasting of Remotely Sensed Daily Evapotranspiration Data Over Nile Delta Region, Egypt 

      Psilovikos, A.; Elhag, M. (2013)
      Daily evapotranspiration is a major component in crops water consumption management plans. Consequently, forecasting of daily evapotranspiration is the keystone of any effective water resources management plans in fragile ...

    • Genetic factors influencing outcome from neurotrauma 

      Dardiotis, E.; Grigoriadis, S.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M. (2012)
      Purpose of review Clinical outcome after neurotrauma is considerably variable and can only partly be explained by known prognostic factors. There is converging evidence from genetic research that a number of genetic variants ...

    • Obesity and Persisting Sleep Apnea After Adenotonsillectomy in Greek Children

      Background: The relative importance of obesity and adenotonsillar hypertrophy in the pathogenesis of obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in childhood is unclear. Adenotonsillectomy (AT) for SDB is not always ...

    • Oxidative stress and inflammatory markers in the exhaled breath condensate of children with OSA 

      Malakasioti, G.; Alexopoulos, E.; Befani, C.; Tanou, K.; Varlami, V.; Ziogas, D.; Liakos, P.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Kaditis, A. G. (2012)
      Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children has been associated with systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. Limited evidence indicates that pediatric OSA is associated with oxidative stress and inflammation in the airway. ...

    • Prognostic value of C-reactive protein in parapneumonic effusions 

      Skouras, V.; Boultadakis, E.; Nikoulis, D.; Polychronopoulos, V.; Daniil, Z.; Kalomenidis, I.; Gourgoulianis, K. I. (2012)
      Background and objective: Parapneumonic effusions (PPE) that require drainage are referred to as complicated parapneumonic effusions (CPPE). Following resolution of these effusions, residual pleural thickening (RPT) may ...
