(2011)Background: COPD is a multicomponent disease and systemic inflammation represents one of the possible mechanisms responsible for its systemic manifestations, including skeletal muscle weakness and cachexia. Fat-free mass ... -
Biomarkers Obtained by Non-Invasive Methods in Patients with COPD: Where do we Stand, what do we Expect?
Hillas, G.; Loukides, S.; Kostikas, K.; Bakakos, P. (2009)Recently, there has been widespread interest in the use of non-invasive methods for the assessment of airway inflammation in a variety of lung diseases including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD). Sputum induction ... -

Exhaled breath condensate pH as a biomarker of COPD severity in ex-smokers
Papaioannou, A. I.; Loukides, S.; Minas, M.; Kontogianni, K.; Bakakos, P.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Alchanatis, M.; Papiris, S.; Kostikas, K. (2011)Endogenous airway acidification, as assessed by exhaled breath condensate (EBC) pH, is present in patients with stable COPD. The aim of this study was to measure EBC pH levels in a large cohort of COPD patients and to ... -
Hemoglobin, erythropoietin and systemic inflammation in exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Markoulaki, D.; Kostikas, K.; Papatheodorou, G.; Koutsokera, A.; Alchanatis, M.; Bakakos, P.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Roussos, C.; Koulouris, N. G.; Loukides, S. (2011)Background: Systemic inflammation may represent a possible cause of anemia. Previous data support that anemic patients with COPD present high erythropoietin (EPO) levels, suggestive of EPO resistance, possibly mediated ...
