Activation of general control nonderepressible 2 kinase protects human glomerular endothelial cells from harmful high-glucose-induced molecular pathways
(2016)Purpose: Considering the referred beneficial effects of protein restriction on diabetic nephropathy (DN) and the role of renal endothelium in its pathogenesis, we evaluated the effect of general control nonderepressible 2 ... -
Activation of general control nonderepressible-2 kinase ameliorates glucotoxicity in human peritoneal mesothelial cells, preserves their integrity, and prevents mesothelial to mesenchymal transition
(2019)Along with infections, ultrafiltration failure due to the toxicity of glucose-containing peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions is the Achilles’ heel of PD method. Triggered by the protective effect of general control ... -
Acute and repeated exposure with the nitric oxide (NO) donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) differentially modulate responses in a rat model of anxiety
(2017)The nitric oxide (NO) donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) actually is under investigation for the treatment of schizophrenia. That anxiety disorders are noted to occur commonly in schizophrenia patients is known. Contradictory ... -
Acute Effects of Vitamin D 3 Supplementation on Muscle Strength in Judoka Athletes: A Randomized Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind Trial
(2016)Objective: Indoor athletes have been shown to be prone to vitamin D 3 deficiency. The aim of the study was to examine the acute effects of vitamin D supplementation on muscle function using isokinetic dynamometry. Design: ... -
Acute in vivo exposure to fentanyl reduces GABA immunoreactivity in the CA1 area of the rat hippocampus
(2008)The effect of in vivo fentanyl treatment on GABAergic immunoreactivity was studied in the CA1 area of the rat hippocampus. Animals were treated either with saline or fentanyl (4x80 μg/kg, s.c./15min). GABA immunohistochemistry ... -
Acute non-A, non-B, non-C hepatitis differences and similarities between hepatitis E virus infection and autoimmune hepatitis, with phylogenetic analysis of hepatitis E virus in humans and wild boars
(2022)Background Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection incidence is increasing in Europe, accounting for the majority of acute hepatitis cases. We investigated the prevalence and clinical characteristics of acute hepatitis E (AHE) ... -
Acute phase markers for the differentiation of infectious and malignant pleural effusions
(2007)Acute-phase markers, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), have been studied in inflammatory and malignant disorders. We examined the diagnostic value of these ... -
Acute phase protein and antioxidant responses in dogs with experimental acute monocytic ehrlichiosis treated with rifampicin
(2016)There is currently lack of information on the changes of acute phase proteins (APP) and antioxidant markers and their clinical relevance as treatment response indicators in canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME). The objective ... -
Adherence to oral anticoagulation in ischemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation
(2021)Background: Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOAC) have superior safety and comparable efficacy profile compared to vitamin-K antagonists (VKAs), with more convenient dosing schemes. However, issues with ... -
Adherence to Recommendations for Βacillus Calmette-Guérin Vaccination of High-risk Neonates in Greece
(2022)In 2016 a Βacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccination policy targeting high-risk neonates for tuberculosis before discharge from maternity hospital was adopted in Greece. Vaccination rates were 38.2% in 2019 and 24.7% in 2020. ... -
Adherence to the Mediterranean diet and incident frailty: Results from a longitudinal study
(2022)Objectives: The aim of the current prospective study was to examine the relationship between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and incident frailty. Study design: 1075 Greek community-dwelling older adults from the ... -
Adhesion Prevention to Polypropylene Meshes Using Combined Icodextrin Four Percent and Dimetindene Maleate
(2019)Background: The use of surgical meshes in ventral hernia repair has significantly reduced hernia recurrence rates. However, when placed intraperitoneally prosthetic materials can trigger the development of peritoneal ... -
Administration of an oral hydration solution prevents electrolyte and fluid disturbances and reduces readmissions in patients with a diverting ileostomy after colorectal surgery: A prospective, randomized, controlled trial
(2018)BACKGROUND: Patients with a newly formed ileostomy often develop electrolyte abnormalities and dehydration. OBJECTIVE: The study assessed the prophylactic effect of an isotonic hydration solution on dehydration and electrolyte ... -
Administration of exercise-conditioned plasma alters muscle catalase kinetics in rat: An argument for in vivo-like Km instead of in vitro-like Vmax
(2018)Maximal velocity (Vmax) is a well established biomarker for the assessment of tissue redox status. There is scarce evidence, though, that it does not probably reflect sufficiently in vivo tissue redox profile. Instead, the ... -
Administration of low-molecular-weight heparin in patients with two or more unsuccessful IVF/ICSI cycles: a multicenter cohort study
(2018)To compare the effects of the administration of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) in subfertile patients with two or more unsuccessful IVF/ICSI cycles. In this six-center two-arm retrospective cohort study, the study ... -
