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 ... -
Consent for organ and tissue retention in british law in the light of the human tissue act 2004
(2006)The experience from the scandals in hospitals at Liverpool and Bristol in the UK where retention of tissue and organs was undertaken without the consent of the parents and relatives raised serious concerns regarding the ... -
Dichloroacetate at therapeutic concentration alters glucose metabolism and induces regulatory t-cell differentiation in alloreactive human lymphocytes
(2013)Background: Most cancer cells rely on aerobic glycolysis. Dichloroacetate (DCA) inhibits aerobic glycolysis and is a promising relatively nontoxic anticancer compound. However, rapidly proliferating effector T-cells also ... -
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 ... -
Endothelin-1 Acutely Reduces the Permeability of Visceral Sheep Peritoneum In Vitro Through Both Endothelin-A and Endothelin-B Receptors
(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 ... -
Expression of transforming growth factor-beta receptor 11 mRNA in cyclosporine-induced gingival overgrowth
(2006)Gingival overgrowth (GO), characterized by increased cellular and extracellular matrix components in gingival tissue, is a frequent side effect of cyclosporine (CsA). In previous studies, elevated levels of transforming ... -
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 ... -
Hepatitis E virus antibodies in hemodialysis patients: An epidemiological survey in central Greece
(2004)Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the causative agent for enteric non-A, non-B hepatitis. Transmission is mainly via the fecal-oral route but the possibility of an additional parenteric transmission has been raised. Patients ... -
Intradialytic aerobic exercise training ameliorates symptoms of restless legs syndrome and improves functional capacity in patients on hemodialysis
(2008)We present the first study on the influence of exercise training on restless legs syndrome (RILS) in patients on hemodialysis (HD). Restless legs syndrome has been treated pharmacologically with satisfactory results; ... -
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 ... -
Postmortem Image Analysis of Sheep Cortical Leptomeningeal Space and Vasculature: Theoretical Implications on Brain Surface Dialysis
(2011)The vascular surface distribution of the subarachnoid space has not been studied extensively. The aim of our study was to develop a method of computer-assisted estimation of the distribution of the vascular network in the ... -
A single-blind randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effect of 6 months of progressive aerobic exercise training in patients with uraemic restless legs syndrome
(2013)Background. Uraemic restless legs syndrome (RLS) affects a significant proportion of patients receiving haemodialysis (HD) therapy. Exercise training has been shown to improve RLS symptoms in uraemic RLS patients; however, ... -
Sodium and body fluid homeostasis in profiling hemodialysis treatment
(2002)Acute adverse side-effects of hemodialysis such as hypotension, muscle cramps, osmotic imbalance and thirst are induced by the interference with fluid and electrolyte balance occurring during treatment. Changes in osmolarity ... -
Telomere Length in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells of Patients on Chronic Hemodialysis Is Related With Telomerase Activity and Treatment Duration
(2015)Telomere shortening to a critical limit is associated with replicative senescence. This process is prevented by the enzyme telomerase. Oxidative stress and chronic inflammation are factors accelerating telomere loss. Chronic ... -
Uremic Versus Idiopathic Restless Legs Syndrome: Impact on Aspects Related to Quality of Life
(2012)Restless legs syndrome (RLS) affects both the general population and patients with chronic renal failure. Even though it has been suggested that all forms of RLS share a common pathophysi-ology, not much evidence exists ...
