Aortic Function: From the Research Laboratory to the Clinic
(2012)For many years, much of the pioneering research on aortic function was carried out by a small group of investigators frequently working away from the clinical environment in the research laboratory. The evaluation of aortic ... -
Arterial stiffness predicts risk for long-term recurrence in patients with type 2 diabetes admitted for acute coronary event
(2013)Objectives: to investigate the predictive value of arterial stiffness (AS) estimation for long-term recurrences in patients with type 2 diabetes (DM2) following acute coronary event. Patients and methods: prospective ... -
Association between the GLUT1 gene polymorphism and the risk of diabetic nephropathy: a meta-analysis
(2005)The association between diabetic nephropathy (DN) and the XbaI polymorphism in the GLUT1 gene has been investigated in several case-control studies. These studies rendered contradictory results: the allele XbalphaI(-) was ... -
Current trends in the management of uremic restless legs syndrome: A systematic review on aspects related to quality of life, cardiovascular mortality and survival
(2015)Restless legs syndrome (RLS) affects almost one out of three end-stage renal disease patients. This review assesses the current treatment options for uremic RLS and the potential benefits of those treatments on quality of ... -
Effect of 1-year oral alpha-tocopherol administration on anticardiolipin antibodies in hemodialysis patients
(2005)Background. Anticardiolipin antibodies (ACA) have been related to an increased incidence of thrombotic episodes and atherosclerosis progression. ACA levels are elevated in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Atheroembolic episodes ... -
Effect of exercise training and dopamine agonists in patients with uremic restless legs syndrome: a six-month randomized, partially double-blind, placebo-controlled comparative study
(2013)Background: Restless Legs Syndrome is very common in hemodialysis patients however there are no comparative studies assessing the effectiveness of a non-pharmacological treatment to a classical treatment on parameters ... -
The Effect of Prolonged Intradialytic Exercise in Hemodialysis Efficiency Indices
(2011)Optimal hemodialysis (HD) dose is very important to patients' health and survival, and various indices of adequacy have been incorporated into the current clinical practice to monitor HD efficiency. Exercise during HD could ... -
Effects of resistance exercise training and nandrolone decanoate on body composition and muscle function among patients who receive hemodialysis: A randomized, controlled trial
(2006)Patients who are on hemodialysis commonly experience muscle wasting and weakness, which have a negative effect on physical functioning and quality of life. The objective of this study was to determine whether anabolic ... -
Endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphisms and diabetic nephropathy: A HuGE review and meta-analysis
(2009)Candidate-gene association studies that examined the association between polymorphisms of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3) gene (G894T, 4b/a, and T786C) and diabetic nephropathy or diabetes leading to severe ... -
Evidence of Increased Muscle Atrophy and Impaired Quality of Life Parameters in Patients with Uremic Restless Legs Syndrome
(2011)Background: Restless Legs Syndrome is a very common disorder in hemodialysis patients. Restless Legs Syndrome negatively affects quality of life; however it is not clear whether this is due to mental or physical parameters ... -
Exercise Training and Depression in ESRD: A Review
(2013)Depression, a mental disorder with a high personal, societal, and economic impact, affects at least 20-30% of patients receiving hemodialysis therapy. It is associated with a high mortality rate, low adherence to medication, ... -
Factors affecting effectiveness of vaccination against hepatitis B virus in hemodialysis patients
(2014)Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major global health problem. Despite the success of the general measures against blood transmitted infections in hemodialysis (HD) units, the prevalence of HBV infection among the HD patients ... -
Haemodialysis patients with sleep apnoea syndrome experience increased central adiposity and altered muscular composition and functionality
(2008)Background. Sleep apnoea frequently affects patients with end-stage renal disease. However, it is still unclear whether or to what extent sleep disorders may affect functional capacity and quality of life in haemodialysis ... -
Hyperuricemia and chronic kidney disease: an enigma yet to be solved
(2014)The role of uric acid (UA) on the pathogenesis and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains controversial. Experimental and clinical studies indicate that UA is associated with several risk factors of CKD including ... -
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase is increased in hemodialysis patients and affects immune response to hepatitis B vaccination
(2011)Background: Acquired immunity is impaired in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is inducible by inflammation and through tryptophan depletion and generation of kynurenine pathway products suppresses ... -
Infections in hemodialysis: a concise review - Part 1: bacteremia and respiratory infections
(2011)Hemodialysis (HD) patients are particularly predisposed to infections. It seems that the HD procedure per se as well as disturbances in both innate and adaptive immunity significantly contribute to this susceptibility. ... -
Infections in hemodialysis: a concise review. Part II: blood transmitted viral infections
(2011)Hemodialysis (HD) patients are particularly predisposed to infections. It seems that the HD procedure per se as well as disturbances in both innate and adaptive immunity significantly contribute to this susceptibility. ... -
Liver fat, visceral adiposity, and sleep disturbances contribute to the development of insulin resistance and glucose intolerance in nondiabetic dialysis patients
(2008)Sakkas GK, Karatzaferi C, Zintzaras E, Giannaki CD, Liakopoulos V, Lavdas E, Damani E, Liakos N, Fezoulidis I, Koutedakis Y, Stefanidis I. Liver fat, visceral adiposity, and sleep disturbances contribute to the development ... -
Non-Pharmacological Management of Periodic Limb Movements During Hemodialysis Session in Patients With Uremic Restless Legs Syndrome
(2010)Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is very common in hemodialysis patients. RLS induces motor excitability and discomfort during rest periods, and those symptoms have also been observed during hemodialysis sessions. The aim of ...
