Association between Vaccination Status and Mortality among Intubated Patients with COVID-19-Related Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
(2022)Importance: Although vaccination substantially reduces the risk of severe COVID-19, it is yet unknown whether vaccinated patients who develop COVID-19 and require invasive mechanical ventilation have lower mortality than ... -
Association between white matter lesions and Parkinson’s disease: an impact on Postural/Gait difficulty phenotype and cognitive performance
(2022)Background: White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) may be observed on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in patients with Parkinson disease with or without vascular risk factors. Whether WMHs may influence motor and non-motor ... -
Association of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage with left ventricular hypertrophy on transthoracic echocardiography
(2020)Introduction: Arterial hypertension is the most frequent cause for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) and may also cause left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). We sought to analyze whether hypertensive sICH etiology ... -
Association of neutrophil–lymphocyte and platelet–lymphocyte ratio with adverse events in endovascular repair for abdominal aortic aneurysm
(2021)The association of chronic inflammatory markers with the clinical outcome after endovas-cular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) was investigated. We in-cluded 230 patients, treated electively with ... -
Association of Pathology Markers with Somatostatin Analogue Responsiveness in Acromegaly
(2022)Background. Somatotroph adenomas (SAs) exhibit a variable responsiveness to somatostatin analogue (SS-a) treatment, a process that is not well understood. We investigated established and novel histological markers as ... -
The association of simple renal cysts with abdominal aortic aneurysms and their impact on renal function after endovascular aneurysm repair
(2016)We validated the association of simple renal cysts with abdominal aortic aneurysm and other cardiovascular factors and assessed simple renal cysts’ impact on renal function before and after endovascular abdominal aortic ... -
Autoinflammatory syndromes with coexisting variants in Mediterranean FeVer and other genes: Utility of multiple gene screening and the possible impact of gene dosage
