The absorption and metabolism of a single L-menthol oral versus skin administration: Effects on thermogenesis and metabolic rate
(2015)We investigated the absorption and metabolism pharmacokinetics of a single L-menthol oral versus skin administration and the effects on human thermogenesis and metabolic rate. Twenty healthy adults were randomly distributed ... -
Age and signal strength-related changes in vessel density in the choroid and the retina: an OCT angiography study of the macula and optic disc
(2022)Purpose: To investigate the effects of ageing and signal strength index (SSI) on vessel density (VD) measurements of the radial peripapillary capillaries (RPC) in the optic disc, the retinal superficial (SCP) and deep (DCP) ... -
Anti-angiogenic effect of a Palladium(II)-Saccharinate Complex of Terpyridine in vitro and in vivo
(2017)Anti-angiogenic activity of palladium (Pd)(II)-based complexes is unknown despite their quite powerful anticancer activity. This study was therefore carried out to evaluate both in vivo anti-angiogenic effect and in vitro ... -
Blood flow velocity comparison in the eye capillaries and postcapillary venules between normal pregnant and non-pregnant women
(2020)Background: There is no consensus on how much and at what diameters the blood flow velocity changes in the female microcirculation during normal pregnancy. Methods: A non-contact, digital slit-lamp biomicroscopy system was ... -
Cancer vascularization: Implications in radiotherapy?
(2000)Purpose: Although hypoxia is considered a major cause of failure of radiotherapy, the mechanisms of tumor hypoxia are unclear, and effective ways for its correction or targeting are missing. Tumoral vasculature is the ... -
Celiac Trunk and Hepatic Arteries: Anatomical Variations of Liver Arterial Supply as Detected with Multidetector Computed Tomography in 1,520 Patients and its Clinical Importance
(2020)Hepatic arterial variations are relatively common, but usually overlooked by radiologists, leading to iatrogenic complications or prolonging interventional or surgical procedures. Michels in 1966 classified hepatic arterial ... -
Cognitive function and exercise training for chronic renal disease patients: A literature review
(2015)Objective: Cognitive impairment is very often noted in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Even though, exercise is considered to be a quantifiable activity that improves cognition in animals and humans, it seems ... -
Comparison of 3D ultrasound, 2D ultrasound and 3D Doppler in the diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma in patients with uterine bleeding: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(2022)Endometrial cancer is a common malignancy affecting women worldwide. Usually, it clinically manifests with uterine bleeding, although identical clinical manifestations occur in benign conditions as well, with several ... -
Comparison of physiological and post-endovascular aneurysm repair infrarenal blood flow
(2017)Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms results in redirection of blood through the deployed endograft (EG). Even though EVAR is clinically effective, the absolute flow restoration is not warranted. ... -
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 ... -
Computer-based automated estimation of breast vascularity and correlation with breast cancer in DCE-MRI images
(2017)Dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) with gadolinium constitutes one of the most promising protocols for boosting up the sensitivity in breast cancer detection. The aim of this study was twofold: ... -
Continuous air tonometry of the sigmoid colon during abdominal aortic surgery
(2017)BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to record the changes in the mucosal intracellular (pHi) of the sigmoid colon during operations of the abdominal aorta, using the air tonometry method. METHODS: Patients with abdominal ... -
Contrast-enhanced and unenhanced diffusion-weighted imaging of the breast at 3 T
(2018)Aim: To evaluate the effect of intravenous gadolinium contrast agent on diffusion-weighted sequences and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements at 3 T. Materials and methods: Sixty-two biopsy-proven breast lesions ... -
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 ... -
The effect of plasma osmolality and baroreceptor loading status on postexercise heat loss responses
(2016)We examined the separate and combined effects of plasma osmolality and baroreceptor loading status on postexercise heat loss responses. Nine young males completed a 45-min treadmill exercise protocol at 58 ± 2% V O2 peak, ... -
Effects of long-versus short-term exposure to the mediterranean diet on skin microvascular function and quality of life of healthy adults in Greece and the UK
(2019)The beneficial effects of the Mediterranean diet (MD) adherence in reducing cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and improving CVD-related physiological indices have been well-documented. However, the exact MD adherence ... -
Endocan and the respiratory system: A review
(2016)Endocan, formerly called endothelial cell-specific molecule 1, is an endothelial cell-associated proteoglycan that is preferentially expressed by renal and pulmonary endothelium. It is upregulated by proangiogenic molecules ... -
Erythema Multiforme Associated with Respiratory Disease in a Commercial Breeding Pig Herd
(2015)This study describes an erythema multiforme (EM) in breeding sows, after their mixing in the group housing system. Sows at 30-35 days of gestation showed red and raised skin areas, depression, anorexia, fever, respiratory ... -
Evidence for Novel Action at the Cell-Binding Site of Human Angiogenin Revealed by Heteronuclear NMR Spectroscopy, in silico and in vivo Studies
(2018)A member of the ribonuclease A superfamily, human angiogenin (hAng) is a potent angiogenic factor. Heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy combined with induced-fit docking revealed a dual binding mode for the most antiangiogenic ...
