Absence of blood pressure, metabolic, and inflammatory marker changes after adenotonsillectomy for sleep apnea in Greek children
Apostolidou, M. T.; Alexopoulos, E. I.; Damani, E.; Liakos, N.; Chaidas, K.; Boultadakis, E.; Apostolidis, T.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Kaditis, A. G. (2008)Aim: Pediatric studies revealed associations of obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) with inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and elevated blood pressure. Evidence about effects of adenotonsillectomy on these ... -
The Association of Metabolic Syndrome with Adipose Tissue Hormones and Insulin Resistance in Patients with COPD without Co-morbidities
Minas, M.; Kostikas, K.; Papaioannou, A. I.; Mystridou, P.; Karetsi, E.; Georgoulias, P.; Liakos, N.; Pournaras, S.; Gourgoulianis, K. I. (2011)Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and metabolic syndrome represent common causes of morbidity and mortality in ageing populations. The effect of the co-existence of COPD and metabolic syndrome on adipose tissue ... -
Correlation of Urinary Excretion of Sodium With Severity of Sleep-Disordered Breathing in Children: A Preliminary Study
Kaditis, A. G.; Alexopoulos, E. I.; Evangelopoulos, K.; Kostadima, E.; Varlami, V.; Boultadakis, E.; Liakos, N.; Zakynthinos, E.; Zintzaras, E.; Gourgoulianis, K. (2010)Background: Nocturnal urinary sodium excretion is related to blood pressure (BP) levels. Elevated BP and increased nocturnal natriuresis have been demonstrated in adults with sleep apnea. Although evidence indicates increased ... -
The Effect of Prolonged Intradialytic Exercise in Hemodialysis Efficiency Indices
Giannaki, C. D.; Stefanidis, I.; Karatzaferi, C.; Liakos, N.; Roka, V.; Ntente, I.; Sakkas, G. K. (2011)Optimal hemodialysis (HD) dose is very important to patients' health and survival, and various indices of adequacy have been incorporated into the current clinical practice to monitor HD efficiency. Exercise during HD could ... -
Liver fat, visceral adiposity, and sleep disturbances contribute to the development of insulin resistance and glucose intolerance in nondiabetic dialysis patients
Sakkas, G. K.; Karatzaferi, C.; Zintzaras, E.; Giannaki, C. D.; Liakopoulos, V.; Lavdas, E.; Damani, E.; Liakos, N.; Fezoulidis, I.; Koutedakis, Y.; Stefanidis, I.

Liver fat, visceral adiposity, and sleep disturbances contribute to the development ... -
Low Morning Serum Cortisol Levels in Children with Tonsillar Hypertrophy and Moderate-to-Severe OSA
Malakasioti, G.; Alexopoulos, E. I.; Varlami, V.; Chaidas, K.; Liakos, N.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Kaditis, A. G. (2013)Background: Hypertrophic tonsillar tissue in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has enhanced expression of glucocorticoid receptors, which may reflect low endogenous cortisol levels. We have evaluated the effect ... -
Low-grade albuminuria in children with obstructive sleep apnea
Varlami, V.; Malakasioti, G.; Alexopoulos, E. I.; Theologi, V.; Theophanous, E.; Liakos, N.; Daskalopoulou, E.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Kaditis, A. G. (2013)Small urinary protein loss (low-grade albuminuria or microalbuminuria) may reflect altered permeability of the glomerular filtration barrier. In the present study, it was hypothesized that children with obstructive sleep ... -
Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) and Homeostatic Model Assessment (HOMA) Index in Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Patients with Chronic Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure: A Pilot Study
Dimoulis, A.; Pastaka, C.; Tsolaki, V.; Tsilioni, I.; Pournaras, S.; Liakos, N.; Georgoulias, P.; Gourgoulianis, K. (2015)The effects of Non-invasive Ventilation (NIV) on Insulin Resistance (IR) in stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients have not been fully explored. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of NIV ... -

Anifandis, G. M.; Dafopoulos, K.; Messini, C. I.; Chalvatzas, N.; Liakos, N.; Pournaras, S.; Messinis, I. E. (2010)Objectives: The aim of the present study was to measure serum and follicular fluid 25-OH vitamin D and glucose levels in women who underwent IVF-ET treatment and to further investigate whether the circulating 25-OH vitamin ...
