Exposure to Stress-Dose Steroids and Lethal Septic Shock After In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: Individual Patient Data Reanalysis of Two Prior Randomized Clinical Trials that Evaluated the Vasopressin–Steroids–Epinephrine Combination Versus Epinephrine Alone
(2018)
Purpose: Low-dose steroids may reduce the mortality of severely ill patients with septic shock. We sought to determine whether exposure to stress-dose steroids during and/or after cardiopulmonary resuscitation is associated ...
Effect of adiponectin on estradiol and progesterone secretion from human luteinized granulosa cells in vitro
(2021)
Ιnformation on the role of adiponectin in human ovarian steroidogenesis is limited. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of different doses of adiponectin on the secretion of estradiol and progesterone by human ...
Two-stage, school and community-based population screening successfully identifies individuals and families at high-risk for type 2 diabetes: The Feel4Diabetes-study
(2020)
Background: The implementation of population screening and early prevention strategies targeting individuals at high-risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D) seems to be a public health priority. The current work aimed to describe ...
Quality of life in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic retinopathy: A case–control study
(2019)
Aims: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) as a common complication of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) affecting negatively quality of life (QoL). Assessing of QoL in patients with DR is a prerequisite for the evaluation of their ...
Anatomy Learning from Prosected Cadaveric Specimens Versus Plastic Models: A Comparative Study of Upper Limb Anatomy
(2020)
Human cadaveric prosections are a traditional, effective, and highly appreciated modality of anatomy learning. Plastic models are an alternative teaching modality, though few studies examine their effectiveness in learning ...
Tryptophan-kynurenine profile in pediatric autoimmune hepatitis
(2019)
The impairment of regulatory T cells (Tregs) is a characteristic feature of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), and the degradation of tryptophan (Trp) to kynurenine (Kyn), by gamma interferon-induced indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase-1 ...

(2018)
BACKGROUND: Patients with a newly formed ileostomy often develop electrolyte abnormalities and dehydration. OBJECTIVE: The study assessed the prophylactic effect of an isotonic hydration solution on dehydration and electrolyte ...
Apremilast increases IL-10-producing regulatory B cells and decreases proinflammatory T cells and innate cells in psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis
(2019)
Objectives: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and psoriasis are immune-mediated inflammatory diseases sharing common immunological mechanisms. Regulatory B cells (Breg cells) producing IL-10 (B10 cells), a critical anti-inflammatory ...
Validation study of genetic biomarkers of response to TNF inhibitors in rheumatoid arthritis
(2018)
Genetic biomarkers are sought to personalize treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), given their variable response to TNF inhibitors (TNFi). However, no genetic biomaker is yet sufficiently validated. Here, ...
