Abdominal aortic aneurysm and abdominal wall hernia as manifestations of a connective tissue disorder
(2011)Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) and abdominal wall hernias represent chronic degenerative conditions. Both aortic aneurysms and inguinal hernias share common epidemiologic features, and several investigators ... -
Acute imaging does not improve ASTRAL score's accuracy despite having a prognostic value
(2014)Background The ASTRAL score was recently shown to reliably predict three-month functional outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Aim The study aims to investigate whether information from multimodal imaging increases ... -
Adipokines as mediators of endothelial function and atherosclerosis
(2013)For many decades, adipose tissue was considered as an inactive body compartment that was only used as an energy store. During the recent years, an increasing amount of data has revealed that adipose tissue is a major ... -
Anemia on admission predicts short- and long-term outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke
(2015)BackgroundIt is still debatable whether anemia predicts stroke outcome. AimTo describe the characteristics of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and anemia and identify whether hemoglobin status on admission is a ... -
Angiotensin II up-regulates CX3CR1 expression in THP-1 monocytes: impact on vascular inflammation and atherogenesis
(2010)The potential regulatory effect of angiotensins on circulating mononuclear cell activation and migration has not yet been thoroughly evaluated. Using flow cytometry we assessed the possible effect of angiotensin I and II ... -
Assessment of insertion/deletion polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene in abdominal aortic aneurysm and inguinal hernia
(2013)The aim of the paper is to determine whether the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism is associated with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and inguinal hernia. A case-control study ... -
The association between apolipoprotein E gene polymorphisms and essential hypertension: a meta-analysis of 45 studies including 13 940 cases and 16 364 controls
(2013)The apolipoprotein E single-nucleotide polymorphisms are among the potential candidate genes that may serve as modulators in susceptibility to essential hypertension. In an effort to clarify earlier inconclusive results, ... -
Association between periodontal disease and stroke
(2012)Objective: Periodontitis is a very common human infection. There is evidence that periodontitis is associated with cerebrovascular disease (CVD) and stroke. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between ... -
Association of plaque echostructure and cardiovascular risk factors with symptomatic carotid artery disease
(2010)Aim. Severity of stenosis remains the main factor for assessing risk of stroke in patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) disease. This study was conducted to investigate the association of plaque echostructure and ... -
Association of plaque echostructure and cardiovascular risk factors with symptomatic carotid artery disease
(2009)Background: Severity of stenosis remains the main factor for assessing risk of stroke in patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) disease. This study was conducted to investigate the association of plaque echostructure ... -
Association of renin-angiotensin system and natriuretic peptide receptor A gene polymorphisms with hypertension in a Hellenic population
(2008)Introduction. Hypertension results from the interaction of genetic and environmental factors. Since the renin-angiotensin and the natriuretic peptide systems contribute to blood pressure regulation, variations in the ... -

ASTRAL Score Predicts 5-Year Dependence and Mortality in Acute Ischemic Stroke
(2013)Background and Purpose-The ASTRAL score was externally validated showing remarkable consistency on 3-month outcome prognosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke. The present study aimed to evaluate ASTRAL score's ... -
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 ...
