Carotid Bifurcation Geometry as Assessed by Ultrasound is Associated with Early Carotid Atherosclerosis
(2018)Background: Atherosclerosis usually develops at geometrically susceptible areas, despite the impact of systemic risk factors on the entire vascular system. The aim of our study was to investigate whether carotid bifurcation ... -
Changes in dynamic lung mechanics after lung volume reduction coil treatment of severe emphysema
(2018)We assessed the relationships between changes in lung compliance, lung volumes and dynamic hyperinflation in patients with emphysema who underwent bronchoscopic treatment with nitinol coils (coil treatment) (n=11) or ... -
Circulating suPAR associates with severity and in-hospital progression of COVID-19
(2022)Background: COVID-19 disease progression is characterized by hyperinflammation and risk stratification may aid in early aggressive treatment and advanced planning. The aim of this study was to assess whether suPAR and other ... -
Circulating tumor cells as prognostic biomarkers in breast cancer: current status and future prospects
(2021)Introduction : Despite advances in diagnostic and therapeutic techniques breast cancer is still associated with significant morbidity and mortality. CTCs play a crucial role in the metastatic process, which is the main ... -
Clinical and laboratory features of children with community-acquired pneumonia are associated with distinct radiographic presentations
(2018)Chest radiographs from children with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) were categorized into three distinct presentations and each presentation was correlated to clinical and laboratory findings. Children < 59 months ... -
Clinical outcomes and neuroimaging profiles in nondisabled patients with anticoagulant-related intracerebral hemorrhage
(2018)Background and Purpose: The aim of this study was to prospectively validate our prior findings of smaller hematoma volume and lesser neurological deficit in nonvitamin K oral anticoagulant (NOAC) compared with Vitamin K ... -
The clinical significance of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae rectal colonization in critically ill patients: From colonization to bloodstream infection
(2019)Purpose. To highlight the clinical significance of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) rectal colonization by examining the risk factors for CRKP rectal colonization and subsequent bloodstream infection (BSI) ... -
A comparison of propofol, thiopental or ketamine as induction agents in goats
(2005)Objective: To compare propofol, thiopental and ketamine as induction agents before halothane anaesthesia in goats. Study design: Prospective, randomized cross-over study. Animals: Seven healthy adult female goats with mean ... -
Comparison of Risk Scores for the Prediction of the Overall Cardiovascular Risk in Patients with Ischemic Stroke: The Athens Stroke Registry
(2019)Background: Stratification of overall vascular risk in patients with ischemic stroke is important as it may guide management decisions. Currently available schemes have only modest prognostic accuracy. The TRA2°P score ... -
Conjugate eye deviation as predictor of acute cortical and subcortical ischemic brain lesions
(2016)Objectives Non-enhanced computed tomography (NECT) of the brain is used to exclude intracranial hemorrhage in patients who are considered for treatment with tissue plasminogen activator due to stroke symptoms. However, ... -
Continuing versus Stopping Prestroke Antihypertensive Therapy in Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Subgroup Analysis of the Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke Trial
(2016)Background and purpose More than 50% of patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are taking antihypertensive drugs before ictus. Although antihypertensive therapy should be given long term for secondary prevention, ... -
Continuous air tonometry of the sigmoid colon during abdominal aortic surgery
(2017)BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to record the changes in the mucosal intracellular (pHi) of the sigmoid colon during operations of the abdominal aorta, using the air tonometry method. METHODS: Patients with abdominal ... -
Continuous chest compressions with asynchronous ventilation improve survival in a neonatal swine model of asphyxial cardiac arrest
(2021)Background: Guidelines for neonatal resuscitation recommend a 3:1 compression to ventilation ratio. However, this recommendation is based on expert opinion and consensus rather than strong scientific evidence. Our primary ... -
Contrast-enhanced and unenhanced diffusion-weighted imaging of the breast at 3 T
(2018)Aim: To evaluate the effect of intravenous gadolinium contrast agent on diffusion-weighted sequences and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements at 3 T. Materials and methods: Sixty-two biopsy-proven breast lesions ... -
Conventional white light imaging-assisted transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT) versus IMAGE1S-assisted TURBT in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients: trial protocol and 18 months results
(2022)Purpose: White light (WL) is the traditional imaging modality for transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT). IMAGE1S is a likely addition. We compare 18-mo recurrence rates following TURBT using IMAGE1S versus WL ... -
Diagnostic accuracy of a new clinical test (The Thessaly test) for early detection of meniscal tears
(2005)Background: Clinical tests used for the detection of meniscal tears in the knee do not present acceptable diagnostic sensitivity and specificity values. Diagnostic accuracy is improved by arthroscopic evaluation or magnetic ... -
Direct oral anticoagulant-vs Vitamin K antagonist-related nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage
(2017)Objective: To compare the neuroimaging profile and clinical outcomes among patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) related to use of vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) or direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for nonvalvular ... -
Discrimination of exudative pleural effusions based on multiple biological parameters
(2007)Pleural effusion is a common complication of various diseases. Conventional methods are not always capable of establishing the cause of pleural effusion, so alternative tests are needed. The aim of this study was to explore ... -
Dynamic changes of CTCs in patients with metastatic HR(+)/HER2(−) breast cancer receiving salvage treatment with everolimus/exemestane
(2021)Purpose: Detection of CTCs represents a poor prognostic factor in patients with early and metastatic breast cancer (mBC) and treatment with everolimus–exemestane (E/E) is an established effective treatment in hormone ...
