• Endothelin-1 Acutely Reduces the Permeability of Visceral Sheep Peritoneum In Vitro Through Both Endothelin-A and Endothelin-B Receptors 

      Kourti, P.; Zarogiannis, S. G.; Liakopoulos, V.; Karioti, A.; Eleftheriadis, T.; Hatzoglou, C.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Molyvdas, P. A.; Stefanidis, I. (2013)
      Mesothelium is an important part of the peritoneal barrier for water and ion transport, essential for effective peritoneal dialysis (PD). Peritoneal fibrosis has been associated with PD treatment failure. Endothelin-1 ...
    • Physiology of pericardial fluid production and drainage 

      Vogiatzidis, K.; Zarogiannis, S. G.; Aidonidis, I.; Solenov, E. I.; Molyvdas, P. A.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Hatzoglou, C. (2015)
      The pericardium is one of the serosal cavities of the mammals. It consists of two anatomical structures closely connected, an external sac of fibrous connective tissue, that is called fibrous pericardium and an internal ...
    • Thoracoscopic Findings and Pharmacokinetics of Inhaled Fluorescein in a Pig Model 

      Vandermeulen, L.; Makris, D.; Mordon, S.; Goossens, A.; Marquette, C. H.; Haentjens, P.; Noppen, M. (2010)
      Background: Fluorescein-enhanced autofluorescence thoracoscopy (FEAT) reveals regions of abnormal fluorescence in patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax and in normal subjects. Some of these lesions are undetectable ...
    • Transmembrane resistance and histology of isolated sheep leptomeninges 

      Filippidis, A.; Zarogiannis, S.; Ioannou, M.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Molyvdas, P. A.; Hatzoglou, C. (2010)
      Objective: Transmembrane resistance is a measure of ionic permeability. The occurrence of ionic permeability on the leptomeningeal tissue may suggest its contribution to the cerebrospinal fluid turnover. This property will ...
