    • The accumulation of pleural fluid during labour 

      Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Karantanas, A. H.; Karvelas, S. N.; Molyvdas, P. A. (1997)
      Objectives: Labour appears to promote the development of pleural effusion. The presence of pleural fluid at the end of normal pregnancy and after an uncomplicated labour was investigated using thoracic ultrasonography. ...

    • Acute phase markers for the differentiation of infectious and malignant pleural effusions 

      Kiropoulos, T. S.; Kostikas, K.; Oikonomidi, S.; Tsilioni, I.; Nikoulis, D.; Germenis, A.; Gourgoulianis, K. I. (2007)
      Acute-phase markers, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), have been studied in inflammatory and malignant disorders. We examined the diagnostic value of these ...

    • Amyloid cardiomyopathy presenting as persistent symptomatic pleural effusions 

      Daniil, Z.; Zakynthinos, E.; Papageorgiou, E.; Loannou, M.; Kostikas, K.; Gourgoulianis, K. (2005)
      A 73-year-old male presented with dyspnea and bilateral transudative pleural effusions that persisted despite aggressive diuresis. No etiology had been established despite an extensive workout. The only abnormal finding ...

    • Dexamethasone decreases the transmesothelial electrical resistance of the parietal and visceral pleura 

      Zarogiannis, S.; Deligiorgi, T.; Stefanidis, I.; Liakopoulos, V.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Molyvdas, P. A.; Hatzoglou, C. (2009)
      The effect of dexamethasone on the transmesothelial electrical resistance (R (TM)) of sheep pleura was investigated by Ussing chamber experiments. Our results show that dexamethasone decreases the R (TM) of sheep pleurae, ...

    • Discrimination of exudative pleural effusions based on multiple biological parameters 

      Daniil, Z. D.; Zintzaras, E.; Kiropoulos, T.; Papaioannou, A. I.; Koutsokera, A.; Kastanis, A.; Gourgoulianis, K. I. (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 ...

    • Efferocytosis fuels malignant pleural effusion through TIMP1 

      Zhao L., Giannou A.D., Xu Y., Shiri A.M., Liebold I., Steglich B., Bedke T., Zhang T., Lücke J., Scognamiglio P., Kempski J., Woestemeier A., Chen J., Agalioti T., Zazara D.E., Lindner D., Janning M., Hennigs J.K., Jagirdar R.M., Kotsiou O.S., Zarogiannis S.G., Kobayashi Y., Izbicki J.R., Ghosh S., Rothlin C.V., Bosurgi L., Huber S., Gagliani N. (2021)
      Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) results from the capacity of several human cancers to metastasize to the pleural cavity. No effective treatments are currently available, reflecting our insufficient understanding of the ...

    • Matrix Metalloproteinase Levels in the Differentiation of Parapneumonic Pleural Effusions 

      Oikonomidi, S.; Kostikas, K.; Kalomenidis, I.; Tsilioni, I.; Daenas, C.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Kiropoulos, T. S. (2010)
      Background: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been implicated in the escalation of fibrosis and remodeling which are central to the subsequent progression of a parapneumonic pleural effusion to empyema. Objectives: The ...

    • Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in pleural effusions 

      Kiropoulos, T. S.; Daniil, Z.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Zakynthinos, E. (2007)
      Pleural effusion is a common clinical problem in everyday clinical practice. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a 34-45 kDa homodimeric glycoprotein, which is a potent mediator of angiogenesis and vascular ...
