Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors, Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers, and Outcomes in Patients Hospitalized for COVID-19
(2021)BACKGROUND: Use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ACEi/ARB) is thought to affect COVID-19 through modulating levels of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, the cell entry receptor ... -
Characteristics and outcomes of cancer patients who develop pulmonary embolism: A cross-sectional study
(2021)Pulmonary embolism (PE), along with deep vein thrombosis, are collectively known as venous thromboembo- lism (VTE). Predisposing factors for PE include post-operative conditions, pregnancy, cancer and an advanced age; of ... -
Circulating biomarkers for the prediction of abdominal aortic aneurysm growth
(2021)Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysm represents a distinct group of vascular lesions, in terms of surveillance and treatment. Screening and follow-up of patients via duplex ultrasound has been well established and proposed ... -
COVID-19 associated pulmonary embolism with D-dimer values within the referent range: A case report and review of the literature
(2021)OBJECTIVE: COVID-19 is associated with an increased incidence of pulmonary embolism (PE). Elevated D-dimer levels are linked to an increased risk of PE and poor clinical outcome. We reported a case of PE in a COVID-19 ... -
COVID-19 pandemic and cardiovascular disease: where do we stand?

D-dimer as a diagnostic tool for canine thromboembolic disorders [Τα Δ-διμερή ως διαγνωστικό μέσο θρομβοεμβολικών διαταραχών στο σκύλο]
(2017)D-dimers are small protein fragments present in the blood after a blood clot is degraded by plasmin. During the fibrin(ogen) degradation, a number of products are produced called fibrin(ogen) degradation products (FDPs). ... -
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 ... -
