An 11- to 15-year clinical outcome study of the Advance Medial Pivot total knee arthroplasty: Pivot knee arthroplasty
(2016)Aims The Advance Medial-Pivot total knee arthroplasty (TKA) was designed to reflect contemporary data regarding the kinematics of the knee. We wished to examine the longterm results obtained with this prosthesis by extending ... -
20-year trends of characteristics and outcomes of stroke patients with atrial fibrillation
(2018)Background: The accurate knowledge of secular trends in prevalence, characteristics and outcomes of patients with ischemic stroke and atrial fibrillation allows better projections into the future. Aim: We aimed to report ... -
-572 G/C single nucleotide polymorphism of interleukin-6 and sepsis predisposition in chronic renal disease
(2015)Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of interleukin (IL)-6 are associated with the development of chronic renal disease (CRD). Their impact for sepsis in the field of CRD was investigated. One control cohort of 115 ... -
Adherence to oral anticoagulation in ischemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation
(2021)Background: Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOAC) have superior safety and comparable efficacy profile compared to vitamin-K antagonists (VKAs), with more convenient dosing schemes. However, issues with ... -

(2022)Objectives: The aim of the current prospective study was to examine the relationship between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and incident frailty. Study design: 1075 Greek community-dwelling older adults from the ... -
Aerobic fitness as a parameter of importance for labour loss in the heat
(2021)Objectives: To derive an empirical model for the impact of aerobic fitness (maximal oxygen consumption; V̇O2max in mL∙kg−1∙min−1) on physical work capacity (PWC) in the heat. Design: Prospective, repeated measures. Methods: ... -
Alcoholic liver disease and autoimmune hepatitis: Sometimes a closer look under the surface is needed
(2021)Aims: Differential diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) incorporates various liver diseases, including alcoholic liver disease (ALD). We report on clinical, laboratory and outcome characteristics of AIH patients who ... -
Amiodarone plus Ranolazine for Conversion of Post-Cardiac Surgery Atrial Fibrillation: Enhanced Effectiveness in Reduced Versus Preserved Ejection Fraction Patients
(2018)Purpose: Ranolazine (RAN) added to amiodarone (AMIO) has been shown to accelerate termination of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) following coronary artery bypass surgery in patients without heart failure (HF). ... -
Angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibition in patients with acute decompensated heart failure: an expert consensus position paper
(2022)The short-term mortality and rehospitalization rates after admission for acute heart failure (AHF) remain high, despite the high level of adherence to contemporary practice guidelines. Observational data from non-randomized ... -
Anticoagulant selection in relation to the SAMe-TT2R2 score in patients with atrial fibrillation: The GLORIA-AF registry
(2021)Aim: The SAMe-TT2R2 score helps identify patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) likely to have poor anticoagulation control during anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists (VKA) and those with scores >2 might be better ... -
Antihypertensive Medication Class and the Risk of Dementia and Cognitive Decline in Older Adults: A Secondary Analysis of the Prospective HELIAD Cohort
(2022)Background: It is unclear whether the main antihypertensive medication classes (diuretics, calcium channel blockers, beta-blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs)) are ... -
The antiphospholipid syndrome and infection
(2001)Infectious agents have been implicated in the induction of antiphospholipid (aPL) antibodies and the development of the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). This review focuses on the types of aPL antibodies detected in ... -
Arthroscopic Single-Row Versus Double-Row Suture Bridge Technique for Rotator Cuff Tears in Patients Younger Than 55 Years: A Prospective Comparative Study
(2018)Background: When arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is performed on a young patient, long-lasting structural and functional tendon integrity is desired. A fixation technique that potentially provides superior tendon healing ... -
Ascending aortic intramural hematoma: current concepts
(2022)Purpose of review Type A intramural hematoma (TAIMH) is an acute aortic disease characterized by the presence of hematoma in the aortic media and involving the ascending aorta. Open repair seems to be the first treatment ... -
Assessment of adrenal response in patients with stable cirrhosis and ascites using different short Synacthen tests and definitions
