Acute renal failure after antibiotic-impregnated bone cement treatment of an infected total knee arthroplasty
(2008)Antibiotic-impregnated cement is used frequently in revision procedures of infected total hip and knee arthroplasties. Local antibiotic treatment is as effective as the use of systemic antibiotics. The purpose of such ... -
Acute Renal Failure: A Rare Presentation of Hypothyroidism
(2009)Thyroid hormones affect the function of almost every body organ, and thyroid dysfunction produces a wide range of metabolic disturbances. Severe hypothyroidism is associated with significant effects on the kidney. The ... -
Aeromonas hydrophila as a causative organism in peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis: case report and review of the literature
(2011)Most episodes of peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related peritonitis could be attributed to a single organism, but in almost 10% of peritonitis episodes multiple organisms are identified. Polymicrobial peritonitis is often related ... -
A case of membranous nephropathy associated with Sjogren syndrome, polymyositis and autoimmune hepatitis
(2008)Sjogren syndrome (SS) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocylic infiltration of exocrine glands, especially lacrimal and salivary. The immunologic process which occurs in this syndrome is B cell ... -
A case of membranous nephropathy associated with Sjögren syndrome, polymyositis and autoimmune hepatitis
(2008)Sjögren syndrome (SS) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of exocrine glands, especially lacrimal and salivary. The immunologic process which occurs in this syndrome is B cell ... -
A Case Report of Osteomyelitis Pubis in a Hemodialysis Patient With Diabetes Mellitus
(2008)Osteomyelitis pubis is a rare form of osteomyelitis. Known risk factors are urogynecologic surgery, trauma caused by sport activities, pelvic malignancy and intravenous drug use. Immunocompromised patients, including ... -
Clonal relatedness of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci in the haemodialysis unit of a single university centre in Greece
(2008)Background. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are frequently encountered pathogens in hospital environment. Dialysis patients, often carrying central venous catheters, are prone to CoNS infections. Methicillin-resistant ... -
Effect of cimetidine on the electrophysiologic profile of isolated visceral sheep peritoneum
(2009)The peritoneal mesothelium is a barrier to ion transport in peritoneal dialysis. Cimetidine is an H2 receptor antagonist and a potent inhibitor of Na+/H+ antiporter, which is found in the plasma membranes of various cell ... -
Effect of endothelin-1 on the transmesothelial resistance of isolated visceral sheep peritoneum
(2007)The mesothelium is part of the peritoneal barrier that manages the water and ion transport essential for peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatment. In addition, it has a central role in the pathogenesis of peritoneal fibrosis and ... -
Melatonin secretion is impaired in women with preeclampsia and an abnormal circadian blood pressure rhythm
(2014)Non-dipping circadian blood pressure (BP) is a common finding in preeclampsia, accompanied by adverse outcomes. Melatonin plays pivotal role in biological circadian rhythms. This study investigated the relationship between ... -
Nocturnal hypertension is associated with an exacerbation of the endothelial damage in preeclampsia
(2008)Background: Non-dipping pattern of circadian blood pressure in preeclampsia is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The pathogenetic mechanisms of this relationship are still unclear. We investigated ... -
Psoas abscess in a dialysis patient with dialysis-related amyloidosis
(2008)Psoas abscess is an infrequent clinical entity which poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Few cases have been reported in chronic hemodialysis patients. We describe a case of psoas abscess in a dialysis patient ... -
Rapid effect of dexamethasone on the permeability of visceral sheep peritoneum
(2008)The peritoneal mesothelium is a biologic barrier to water and ion transport. Its functional and structural integrity is crucial for peritoneal dialysis treatment. In vivo studies have shown that corticosteroids increase ... -
Spironolactone increases permeability of visceral sheep peritoneum
(2009)Aldosterone is a key component of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, and spironolactone, an aldosterone receptor blocker, shows beneficial effects in patients with end-stage renal disease and heart failure. The aim ...
