Abdominal aortic aneurysm and abdominal wall hernia as manifestations of a connective tissue disorder
(2011)Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) and abdominal wall hernias represent chronic degenerative conditions. Both aortic aneurysms and inguinal hernias share common epidemiologic features, and several investigators ... -
Circulating matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors in inguinal hernia and abdominal aortic aneurysm
(2011)Aim. There is evidence supporting the role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors (TIMPs) in aortic and abdominal wall connective tissue degeneration, resulting in aneurysm and hernia formation. Furthermore, ... -
Diabetes mellitus and lung function
(2003)Objectives: To assess the nature of pulmonary dysfunction in type 1 diabetes and the relationship of pulmonary function tests to diabetic factors and complication. Subjects and Methods: Sixteen type 1 diabetic patients and ... -
The effects of calcitonin on acute bone loss after pertrochanteric fractures - A prospective, randomised trial
(2004)We investigated the effect of calcitonin in the prevention of acute bone loss after a pertrochanteric fracture and its ability to reduce the incidence of further fractures in the same patient. Fifty women aged between 70 ... -
Head-to-head comparison of risedronate vs. teriparatide on bone turnover markers in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis: a randomised trial
(2008)Aims: We aimed to compare the effect of risedronate (RIS) and teriparatide (TPTD) (recombinant human parathyroid hormone 1-34) on bone turnover markers in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis. Methods: Forty-four Caucasian ... -

(2011)Background: Radial nerve palsy associated with humeral shaft fractures is the most common nerve lesion complicating fractures of long bones. The purpose of the study was to review the outcome of surgical management in ... -
Studies on the Essential Intramolecular Interaction Between the A1 and A2 Domains of von Willebrand Factor
(2013)Haemostasis depends on the balanced participation of von Willebrand factor (vWF), a large multimeric and multidomain glycoprotein with essential role during the initial steps of blood clotting. Mature vWF circulates in ... -
Topographic Variations in Biomechanical and Biochemical Properties in the Ankle Joint: An In Vitro Bovine Study Evaluating Native and Engineered Cartilage
(2014)Purpose: The purposes of this study were to identify differences in the biomechanical and biochemical properties among the articulating surfaces of the ankle joint and to evaluate the functional and biological properties ...
