Development and validation of a reversed-phase HPLC method for licarbazepine monitoring in serum of patients under oxcarbazepine treatment
(2017)Licarbazepine is the pharmacologically active metabolite of oxcarbazepine, a drug indicated for the treatment of partial seizures and bipolar disorders. Several HPLC methods have been developed thus far but there is lack ... -
DNA methylation analysis in plasma cell-free DNA and paired CTCs of NSCLC patients before and after osimertinib treatment
(2021)Osimertinib has been an effective second-line treatment in EGFR mutant NSCLC patients; however, resistance inevitably occurs. DNA methylation has been previously implicated in NSCLC progression and often in therapy resistance, ... -
Dna repair gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to urothelial carcinoma in a southeastern european population
(2021)Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA repair genes may predispose to urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB). This study focused on three specific SNPs in a population with high exposure to environmental carcinogens ... -
Does hepcidin affect erythropoiesis in hemodialysis patients?
(2006)Introduction: Prohepcidin is the precursor of hepcidin, a liver-derived peptide involved in iron metabolism by blocking its intestinal absorption and its release by the reticuloendothelial system. Iron overload and ... -
Early embryo losses, progesterone and pregnancy associated glycoproteins levels during summer heat stress in dairy cows
(2021)Objectives of this study were to characterize the effects of heat stress on pregnancy associated glycoproteins (PAG) and progesterone and its involvement in embryo survival. In trial 1, blood samples collected from days ... -
The effect of allopurinol on protein carbonyls and swimming performance in rats
(2008)Allopurinol is an inhibitor of xanthine oxidase. Xanthine oxidase is a major contributor of free radicals during exercise. Previous studies have shown that free radicals are vital for physiological adaptations in exercise. ... -
Effect of high-intensity exercise on cardiorespiratory fitness, cardiovascular disease risk and disease activity in patients with inflammatory joint disease: Protocol for the ExeHeart randomised controlled trial
(2022)Introduction Inflammatory joint disease (IJD) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) fostered by systemic inflammation and a high prevalence of CVD risk factors. Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) ... -
Effects of acute exercise on liver function and blood redox status in heavy drinkers
(2015)Excessive alcohol consumption can induce oxidative stress, resulting in the development of several diseases. Exercise has been reported to prevent and/or improve a number of health issues through several mechanisms, including ... -
Effects of dietary fibre on metabolism and performance in sows
(2021)The etiology of Postpartum dysgalactia syndrome (PDS) includes stress οn preparturition and constipation associated with low water intake or low fiber intake. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a raw ... -
Effects of Freezing and Thawing Procedures on Selected Clinical Chemistry Parameters in Plasma
(2020)Introduction: Measurements from frozen sample collections are important key indicators in clinical studies. It is a prime concern of biobanks and laboratories to minimize preanalytical bias and variance through standardization. ... -
The effects of spirulina supplementation on redox status and performance following a muscle damaging protocol
(2021)Spirulina plantensis is a popular supplement which has been shown to have antioxidant and performance enhancing properties. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of spirulina supplementation on (a) redox ... -
Efficacy, efficiency and safety of a cardiac telerehabilitation programme using wearable sensors in patients with coronary heart disease: The TELEWEAR-CR study protocol
(2022)Introduction Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a beneficial tool for the secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases with, however, low participation rates. Telerehabilitation, intergrading mobile technologies ... -
Eight weeks unsupervised pulmonary rehabilitation in previously hospitalized of sars-cov-2 infection
(2021)The aim of our study was to determine the impact of unsupervised Pulmonary Rehabilitation (uns-PR) on patients recovering from COVID-19, and determine its anthropometric, biological, demographic and fitness correlates. All ... -
Elevated preoperative suPAR is a strong and independent risk marker for postoperative complications in patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery (SPARSE)
(2022)Background: Patients undergoing major surgery are often at risk of developing postoperative complications. We investigated whether a preoperative marker of chronic inflammation, soluble urokinase plasminogen activator ... -
Enhanced erythrocyte antioxidant status following an 8-week aerobic exercise training program in heavy drinkers
(2018)Alcohol-induced oxidative stress is involved in the development and progression of various pathological conditions and diseases. On the other hand, exercise training has been shown to improve redox status, thus attenuating ... -
Erythema Multiforme Associated with Respiratory Disease in a Commercial Breeding Pig Herd
(2015)This study describes an erythema multiforme (EM) in breeding sows, after their mixing in the group housing system. Sows at 30-35 days of gestation showed red and raised skin areas, depression, anorexia, fever, respiratory ... -
