Antioxidant capacity in obstructive sleep apnea patients
Christou, K.; Moulas, A. N.; Pastaka, C.; Gourgoulianis, K. I. (2003)Objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) results in oxygen desaturation and arousal from sleep. Free oxygen radicals are highly reactive molecules, which can be produced by the OSA phenomenon known as ... -

Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Hamos, B.; Rizopoulou, D.; Efthimiou, A.; Christou, K.; Molyvdas, P. A. (2001)OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was the evaluation of the role of primary health care physicians in the diagnosis and management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)). METHOD: Sixty-five primary care ... -
DNA damage and repair capacity in lymphocytes from obstructive sleep apnea patients
Kontogianni, K.; Messini-Nikolaki, N.; Christou, K.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Tsilimigaki, S.; Piperakis, S. M. (2007)Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome is a respiratory disease that is linked to heart attacks and high blood pressure. In the present study, we used the Comet assay to compare basal DNA damage and DNA damage induction ... -
DNA damage and repair in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
Kontogianni, N.; Christou, K.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Piperakis, S. M. (2005)The Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a respiratory disorder characterized by short breathing pauses during sleep. These pauses vary according to the Apnea type and the severity of the case. People suffering from Obstructive Sleep ... -

Christou, K.; Kostikas, K.; Pastaka, C.; Tanou, K.; Antoniadou, I.; Gourgoulianis, K. I. (2009)Objective: To evaluate whether nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) reduces oxidative stress in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome. Materials and methods: Forty-six patients with severe ... -
Prescription of medications by primary care physicians in the light of asthma guidelines
Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Hamos, B.; Christou, K.; Rizopoulou, D.; Efthimiou, A. (1998)The purpose of this study was the evaluation of the extent of dissemination of asthma guidelines among primary health care physicians in Greece. Sixty-five of 80 primary care physicians (response rate 80.2%) answered a ... -
Reactive oxygen metabolites (ROMs) as an index of oxidative stress in obstructive sleep apnea patients
Christou, K.; Gourgoulianis, K. I. (2007)Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome, a common disorder characterized by repetitive pharyngeal collapse during sleep, is receiving increased attention because of convincing data showing important neurocognitive and ... -
Reactive oxygen metabolites (ROMs) as an index of oxidative stress in obstructive sleep apnea patients
Christou, K.; Markoulis, N.; Moulas, A. N.; Pastaka, C.; Gourgoulianis, K. I. (2003)STUDY OBJECTIVES: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) is accompanied by oxygen desaturation and arousal from sleep. Free oxygen radicals are highly reactive molecules which could be produced by the OSA phenomenon of ...
