Accidental acute metabolic acidosis due to inappropriate selection of bicarbonate concentrate
(2005)Haemodialysis using a bicarbonate concentrate (bicarbonate dialysis) is the treatment modality of choice for correction of metabolic acidosis in chronic renal failure. However, improper ratios of acid and bicarbonate ... -
Accuracy of a Newly-Introduced Oscillometric Device for the Estimation of Arterial Stiffness Indices in Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis: A Preliminary Validation Study
(2018)The aim of the present study was to compare the aortic systolic blood pressure (aSBP), heart-rate-adjusted augmentation index (AIx75), and pulse wave velocity (PWV) obtained using the Mobil-O-Graph (IEM, Stolberg, Germany) ... -
Age dependence of brachial cuff-based ambulatory PWV in end-stage kidney disease patients undergoing long-term peritoneal dialysis
(2022)Background: The newly introduced device Mobil-O-Graph (IEM, Stolberg, Germany) combines brachial cuff oscillometry and pulse wave analysis, enabling the determination of pulse wave velocity (PWV) via complex mathematic ... -
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 ... -
APD or CAPD: one glove does not fit all
(2021)The use of Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD) in its various forms has increased over the past few years mainly in developed countries. This could be attributed to improved cycler design, apparent lifestyle benefits and ... -
Associations between cardiorespiratory fitness, fatness, hemodynamic characteristics, and sedentary behaviour in primary school-aged children
(2022)Background: Low cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is associated with the development of cardiovascular diseases during childhood, adolescence and older ages. The purpose of the study was to investigate associations between ... -
Associations between change in blood pressure and functional outcome, early events and death: Results from the Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke trial
(2019)Objectives:High blood pressure (BP) is associated with a poor outcome after acute stroke. Early reduction in BP may be associated with fewer early adverse events and deaths, and improved functional outcome.Methods:Analyses ... -
Autonomous motivation to reduce sedentary behaviour is associated with less sedentary time and improved health outcomes in rheumatoid arthritis: a longitudinal study
(2022)Background: This longitudinal study investigated whether changes in autonomous and controlled motivation to reduce sedentary behaviour were associated with variability in sedentary, standing and stepping time and, in turn, ... -
Baseline characteristics of the 4011 patients recruited into the 'Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke' (ENOS) trial
(2014)Background High blood pressure is common in acute stroke and associated with a worse functional outcome. Many patients who present with acute stroke are taking prescribed antihypertensive therapy before their stroke. Aims ... -
Cardiovascular risk factors in HIV infected individuals: Comparison with general adult control population in Greece
(2020)Background Although combined antiretroviral therapy has substantially improved the prognosis of people living with HIV (PLHIV), mortality remains higher compared to the general population, mainly due to higher prevalence ... -
Clinic and Home Blood Pressure Monitoring for the Detection of Ambulatory Hypertension among Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis
(2019)The International Society of Peritoneal Dialysis recommends that adequate blood pressure (BP) assessment among patients on peritoneal dialysis should at least include measurements performed once-weekly at home and at each ... -
A comparative analysis of ambulatory BP profile and arterial stiffness between CAPD and APD
(2022)Prior studies have associated automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) with less effective volume and blood pressure (BP) control as compared with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Our study aimed to compare the ... -
Comparison of heart rate response and heart rate recovery after step test among smoker and non-smoker athletes
(2021)Background: Exercise performance depend on the ability of the cardiovascular system to respond to a wide range of met-abolic demands and physical exertion. Objectives: To investigate the habitual smoking effects in heart ... -
A computational fluid dynamics modelling of maternal-fetal heat exchange and blood flow in the umbilical cord
(2020)Human fetal thermoregulation, maternal-fetal heat exchange, and the role of the umbilical cord in these processes are not well understood. Ethical and technical limitations have restricted current knowledge to animal ... -
Continuing versus Stopping Prestroke Antihypertensive Therapy in Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Subgroup Analysis of the Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke Trial
(2016)Background and purpose More than 50% of patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are taking antihypertensive drugs before ictus. Although antihypertensive therapy should be given long term for secondary prevention, ... -
Correlation of Urinary Excretion of Sodium With Severity of Sleep-Disordered Breathing in Children: A Preliminary Study
(2010)Background: Nocturnal urinary sodium excretion is related to blood pressure (BP) levels. Elevated BP and increased nocturnal natriuresis have been demonstrated in adults with sleep apnea. Although evidence indicates increased ... -
Effect of Glyceryl Trinitrate on Hemodynamics in Acute Stroke: Data from the ENOS Trial
(2019)Background and Purpose - Increased blood pressure (BP), heart rate, and their derivatives (variability, pulse pressure, rate-pressure product) are associated with poor clinical outcome in acute stroke. We assessed the ... -
Effect of high-intensity exercise on cardiorespiratory fitness, cardiovascular disease risk and disease activity in patients with inflammatory joint disease: Protocol for the ExeHeart randomised controlled trial
(2022)Introduction Inflammatory joint disease (IJD) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) fostered by systemic inflammation and a high prevalence of CVD risk factors. Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) ... -
