Correlation of spleen metabolism assessed by 18F-FDG PET with serum interleukin-2 receptor levels and other biomarkers in patients with untreated sarcoidosis
(2016)Background The objective of our study was to assess the possible relationship between splenic F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake and other established biochemical markers of sarcoidosis activity. Patients and methods ... -
Cytokines and pathological sleep
(2008)Cytokines are proteins produced by leukocytes and other cells that function as intercellular mediators acting on several target tissues, resulting in multiple biologic actions. Over the last decade, medical research has ... -
Discrimination of exudative pleural effusions based on multiple biological parameters
(2007)Pleural effusion is a common complication of various diseases. Conventional methods are not always capable of establishing the cause of pleural effusion, so alternative tests are needed. The aim of this study was to explore ... -
Discrimination of exudative pleural effusions based on pleural adenosine deaminase (Ada)-c-reactive protein (crp) levels, and their combination: An observational prospective study
(2021)(1) Background: Malignant (MPE), parapneumonic (PPE) and tuberculous (TPE) pleural effusions constitute common causes of pleurisy. Discriminating among them is usually challenging. C-reactive protein (CRP) and adenosine ... -
Disease Activity, Functional Ability and Nutritional Status in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: An Observational Study in Greece
(2020)Aim: The aim of the present pilot study was to assess differences in the nutritional status, Mediterranean diet (MD) adherence, and functional ability among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), according to disease ... -
Disparate habitual physical activity and dietary intake profiles of elderly men with low and elevated systemic inflammation
(2018)The development of chronic, low-grade systemic inflammation in the elderly (inflammaging) has been associated with increased incidence of chronic diseases, geriatric syndromes, and functional impairments. The aim of this ... -
Does hepcidin affect erythropoiesis in hemodialysis patients?
(2006)Introduction: Prohepcidin is the precursor of hepcidin, a liver-derived peptide involved in iron metabolism by blocking its intestinal absorption and its release by the reticuloendothelial system. Iron overload and ... -
Dose-response effects of high-intensity interval neuromuscular exercise training on weight loss, performance, health and quality of life in inactive obese adults: Study rationale, design and methods of the DoIT trial
(2019)Obesity is associated with high mortality and morbidity rates and low levels of quality of life among adults globally. It is critical to examine evidence-based practices for developing lifestyle behavioral changes such as ... -
Effect of pomegranate juice consumption on biochemical parameters and complete blood count
(2017)Pomegranate has been used therapeutically for centuries. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of pomegranate juice (PJ) supplementation on complete blood count (CBC), glucose, blood lipids and C-reactive ... -
Effectiveness of autologous whole-blood injections in patients with refractory chronic spontaneous urticaria
(2017)Background: Nonsedating antihistamines are the treatment of choice for chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), while omalizumab and immunosuppressants have also been approved as an add-on treatment. Autologous whole-blood ... -
