Giannaki, C. D.; Karatzaferi, C.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M.; George, K. P.; Stefanidis, I.; Sakkas, G. K. (2013) -
Periodic Limb Movements in Sleep Contribute to Further Cardiac Structure Abnormalities in Hemodialysis Patients with Restless Legs Syndrome
Giannaki, C. D.; Zigoulis, P.; Karatzaferi, C.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M.; George, K. P.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Koutedakis, Y.; Stefanidis, I.; Sakkas, G. K. (2013)Study Objectives: In hemodialysis (HD) patients, restless legs syndrome (RLS) and periodic limb movements in sleep (PLMS) constitute common sleep disorders. Recent findings indicate a role for PLMS as a risk factor in the ... -
Polysomnographic evidence of sleep apnoea disorders in lean and overweight haemodialysis patients
Sakkas, G. K.; Karatzaferi, C.; Liakopoulos, V.; Maridaki, M. D.; Lavdas, E.; Giannaki, C. D.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Stefanidis, I. (2007)Background - Sleep apnoea disorders affect a large proportion of patients with renal failure. However, it is unknown whether body composition and visceral adiposity predispose haernodialysis patients to sleep apnoea ... -
Quality of Life Score Is Primarily Affected by the Mental Rather than the Physical Component in Patients with Restless Legs Syndrome
Giannaki, C. D.; Sakkas, G. K.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M.; Liakopoulos, V.; Anifandis, G.; Karatzaferi, C.; Koutedakis, Y.; Stefanidis, I. (2010) -
Ranolazine enhances nicardipine-induced relaxation of alpha1-adrenoceptor-mediated contraction on isolated rabbit aorta
Malavaki, C.; Hatziefthimiou, A.; Daskalopoulou, S. S.; Stefanidis, I.; Karatzaferi, C.; Aidonidis, I. (2015)Ranolazine (RAN) and nicardipine (NIC) have been studied for their vasorelaxing effects but the combination of these agents against adrenergic vasoconstriction has not been tested. The present study aimed at investigating ... -
REDOX STATUS AND FITNESS AFTER GREEN TEA EXTRACT SUPPLEMENTATION
Karatzaferi, C.; Sakkas, G. K.; Nikolaidis, M.; Paschalis, V.; Tsiotra, G.; Jamurtas, A.; Kouretas, D.; Stefanidis, I.; Koutedakis, Y. (2009) -
Restless legs syndrome does not affect 3-year mortality in hemodialysis patients
Stefanidis, I.; Vainas, A.; Giannaki, C. D.; Dardiotis, E.; Spanoulis, A.; Sounidaki, M.; Eleftheriadis, T.; Liakopoulos, V.; Karatzaferi, C.; Sakkas, G. K.; Zintzaras, E.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M. (2015)Objective: Uremic restless legs syndrome (RLS) has been related to an enhanced mortality of hemodialysis (HD) patients. In the general population studies of this association have yielded inconsistent results. The aim of ... -
A single-blind randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of 6 months of progressive aerobic exercise training in patients with uraemic restless legs syndrome
Giannaki, C. D.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M.; Karatzaferi, C.; Maridaki, M. D.; Koutedakis, Y.; Founta, P.; Tsianas, N.; Stefanidis, I.; Sakkas, G. K. (2013)Background. Uraemic restless legs syndrome (RLS) affects a significant proportion of patients receiving haemodialysis (HD) therapy. Exercise training has been shown to improve RLS symptoms in uraemic RLS patients; however, ... -
Sleep quality and dialysis efficacy affect functional capacity in patients receiving haemodialysis therapy
Sakkas, G. K.; Liakopoulos, V.; Karatzaferi, C.; Stefanidis, I. (2008) -
Uniform and prolonged changes in blood oxidative stress after muscle-damaging exercise
Paschalis, V.; Nikolaidis, M. G.; Fatouros, I. G.; Giakas, G.; Koutedakis, Y.; Karatzaferi, C.; Kouretas, D.; Jamurtas, A. Z. (2007)Background: The effect of eccentric exercise on the time-course changes in several indices of muscle damage and blood oxidative stress was examined. Materials and Methods: Isometric torque, delayed-onset muscle soreness, ... -
Uremic myopathy: is oxidative stress implicated in muscle dysfunction in uremia?
Kaltsatou, A.; Sakkas, G. K.; Poulianiti, K. P.; Koutedakis, Y.; Tepetes, K.; Christodoulidis, G.; Stefanidis, I.; Karatzaferi, C. (2015)Renal failure is accompanied by progressive muscle weakness and premature fatigue, in part linked to hypokinesis and in part to uremic toxicity. These changes are associated with various detrimental biochemical and ... -
Uremic Versus Idiopathic Restless Legs Syndrome: Impact on Aspects Related to Quality of Life
Gkizlis, V.; Giannaki, C. D.; Karatzaferi, C.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M.; Mihas, C.; Koutedakis, Y.; Stefanidis, I.; Sakkas, G. K. (2012)Restless legs syndrome (RLS) affects both the general population and patients with chronic renal failure. Even though it has been suggested that all forms of RLS share a common pathophysi-ology, not much evidence exists ...
