Airways microbiota: Hidden Trojan horses in asbestos exposed individuals?
(2014)Malignant pleura mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare type of cancer with devastating prognosis, which develops in the pleural cavity from transformed mesothelium. MPM has been directly associated with asbestos exposure however ... -
Amiloride-sensitive sodium channels on the parietal human peritoneum: Evidence by ussing-type chamber experiments
(2007)The mesothelium is part of the peritoneal water and ion transport barrier essential for peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatment and has a central role in the pathogenesis of peritoneal fibrosis and ultrafiltration failure ... -
Body Composition in Severe Refractory Asthma: Comparison with COPD Patients and Healthy Smokers
(2010)Background: Body composition is an important parameter for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) whereas the association between asthma and obesity is not fully understood. The impact of severe refractory ... -
Clinical phenotypes related to smoking cessation
(2013)Introduction: The aim of the current study is the identification of clinical phenotypes of patients visiting a specialized smoking cessation center and the determination of smoking cessation rate for each phenotype, 1 year ... -
Comparison of a network of primary care physicians and an open spirometry programme for COPD diagnosis
(2011)Background: Early diagnosis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) remains the cornerstone for effective management. In this study we compared an open spirometry programme and a case-finding programme providing ... -
Comparison of the electrophysiological properties of the sheep isolated costal and diaphragmatic parietal pleura
(2007)1. Pleural permeability may contribute to pleural fluid turnover. The transmesothelial resistance (R-TM), is an established surrogate of mesothelial permeability. The aim of the present study was to compare the ... -
The contribution of ascorbic acid and dehydroascorbic acid to the protective role of pleura during inflammatory reactions
(2007)It is well-known that parapneumonic effusions lead to the formation of inflammatory exudates which contain an increasing amount of inflammatory cells, especially polymorphonuclear. At these pathological conditions characterized ... -
COPD prevalence and the differences between newly and previously diagnosed COPD patients in a spirometry program
(2010)Aims: To evaluate the prevalence and severity of COPD in a primary care population participating in a spirometry program. Differences between newly and previously diagnosed COPD patients were identified. Methods: A spirometry ... -
Development of an egg-white bioassay for monitoring biotin levels in urine and serum
(2007)This article reports on the development of a simple and cost-effective bioassay for the detection of biotin in urine and serum, based on the very selective binding of avidin and biotin. Avidin was allowed to react without ... -
Dexamethasone acutely accelerates pleural fluid absorption in mice hydrothoraces
(2010)This study assessed the effect of corticosteroid treatment in the clearance of hydrothoraces in mice. Twentyfour C57BL/6 mice were divided into four groups and were injected intrapleurally with 500 mu L sterilized PBS-BSA ... -
Dexamethasone decreases the transmesothelial electrical resistance of the parietal and visceral pleura
(2009)The effect of dexamethasone on the transmesothelial electrical resistance (R (TM)) of sheep pleura was investigated by Ussing chamber experiments. Our results show that dexamethasone decreases the R (TM) of sheep pleurae, ... -
Effect of adrenaline on the electrophysiologic profile of isolated visceral sheep peritoneum
(2004)The peritoneal mesothelium is a barrier to ion transport in peritoneal dialysis. In the present study, we investigated, by means of Ussing chamber experiments, the effect of adrenaline on the electrical transepithelial ... -
Effect of adrenaline on transmesothelial resistance of isolated sheep pleura
(2006)The effect of adrenaline on the transmesothelial resistance (R-TM) of sheep's visceral and parietal pleura was studied using the Ussing chamber technique. Basal transmesothelial resistance of visceral pleura was found to ... -
Effect of amiloride in human and sheep parietal pleura
(2002)The fluid and solute transport properties of human parietal pleura were studied and compared with sheep parietal pleura in vitro. The pleura was mounted as a planar sheet between Ussing-type chambers. The results presented ... -
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 ...
