ACOS syndrome: Single disease entity or not? Could exhaled nitric oxide be a useful biomarker for the differentiation of ACOS, asthma and COPD?
(2016)Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) represent two major public health problems. However, there is a significant proportion of patients with a mixed asthma-COPD phenotype. This condition is defined as ... -
Adherence to Mediterranean Diet and Nutritional Status in Women with Breast Cancer: What Is Their Impact on Disease Progression and Recurrence-Free Patients’ Survival?
(2022)Introduction: Nutritional status impacts the survival of patients with cancer. There are few studies that investigate the role of nutritional status on breast cancer survival in women with breast cancer, and even fewer ... -
Age dependence of brachial cuff-based ambulatory PWV in end-stage kidney disease patients undergoing long-term peritoneal dialysis
(2022)Background: The newly introduced device Mobil-O-Graph (IEM, Stolberg, Germany) combines brachial cuff oscillometry and pulse wave analysis, enabling the determination of pulse wave velocity (PWV) via complex mathematic ... -
Age, Body Mass Index, and Daytime and Nocturnal Hypoxia as Predictors of Hypertension in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea
(2016)A growing body of evidence links obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with hypertension. The authors performed a retrospective cohort study using the University Hospital of Larissa Sleep Apnea Database (1501 patients) to determine ... -
Appetite control across the lifecourse: The acute impact of breakfast drink quantity and protein content. the full4health project
(2020)Understanding the mechanisms of hunger, satiety and how nutrients affect appetite control is important for successful weight management across the lifecourse. The primary aim of this study was to describe acute appetite ... -
Application of a home-based exercise program combined with tele-rehabilitation in previously hospitalized patients with COVID-19: A feasibility, single-cohort interventional study
(2022)INTRODUCTION Telehealth for COVID-19 patients is still limited. We aimed to assess the clinical effects of a home-based tele-rehabilitation exercise program following hospital discharge during the first lockdown in Greece, ... -
Assessing hostility in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
(2019)COPD is a disease that can adversely affect patients’ psychology. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether COPD patients feel increased hostility, and if hostility is associated with socio-economic factors. A ... -
Assessing the association between breastfeeding, type of childbirth and family structure with childhood obesity: results from an observational study among 10–12 years old children
(2022)This study examined the association between breastfeeding, type of childbirth, and family structure with childhood obesity. During 2014–2016, 1728 Greek students attending primary schools and their parents were enrolled. ... -
Assessing the physiological effects of traditional regional diets targeting the prevention of cardiovascular disease: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials implementing mediterranean, New Nordic, Japanese, Atlantic, Persian and Mexican dietary interventions
(2021)Traditional regional diets are considered as sustainable dietary patterns, while many have been examined with regard to their health benefits. The aim of the present systematic review was to aggerate all evidence on the ... -
Association analysis of FTO gene polymorphisms with obesity in Greek adults
(2017)Nowadays, obesity is the greatest scourge worldwide, particularly for the developed countries and is a huge burden for the public health. Over the past decade, GWAS have revealed a number of genes associated with obesity. ... -
Association between dietary intake and nutritional status in Eastern Mediterranean patients receiving hemodialysis
(2020)BACKGROUND: Studies on hemodialysis (HD) patients reveal suboptimal dietary intakes, which have been linked to protein-energy wasting and its detrimental consequences. OBJECTIVE: Given the paucity of data regarding nutrient ... -
Association between Interleukin-6 and vitamin D serum levels in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and impact of long-term continuous positive airway pressure therapy on biomarker levels
(2022)Objective: Hypoxia induces interleukin-6 (IL-6) production in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Low serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels have been linked to OSAS susceptibility. Serum 25(OH)D levels have been ... -
Association of fat mass profile with natriuretic peptide receptor alpha in subcutaneous adipose tissue of medication-free healthy men: A cross-sectional study
