Resistin serum levels are increased but not correlated with insulin resistance in chronic hemodialysis patients
(2005)
Background/Aims: Insulin resistance is a well-known phenomenon in uremia. Resistin, a recently discovered insulin inhibitor secreted by adipocytes, is associated with obesity and insulin resistance in mice. Adiponectin, ...
Melatonin secretion is impaired in women with preeclampsia and an abnormal circadian blood pressure rhythm
(2014)
Non-dipping circadian blood pressure (BP) is a common finding in preeclampsia, accompanied by adverse outcomes. Melatonin plays pivotal role in biological circadian rhythms. This study investigated the relationship between ...
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 ...
Influence of hemodialysis on the mean blood flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery
(2005)
Background: Several effects of hemodialysis, including hemoconcentration, alterations of hemostasis or hemorheology and endothelial activation, could potentially interfere with cerebral blood flow (CBF) regulation. These ...
Group B Streptococcus (Streptococcus agalactiae) peritonitis associated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD)
(2004)
Streptococcus agalactiae typically induces serious infections in pregnant women and newborns. Nonpregnant adult patients can also be infected and mortality rate exceeds 40%. CAPD peritonitis is very rarely induced by S. ...
