Dexamethasone decreases the transmesothelial electrical resistance of the parietal and visceral pleura
(2009)
The effect of dexamethasone on the transmesothelial electrical resistance (R (TM)) of sheep pleura was investigated by Ussing chamber experiments. Our results show that dexamethasone decreases the R (TM) of sheep pleurae, ...
The diabetic foot in end stage renal disease
(2007)
Diabetic foot lesions remain a major cause of morbidity in patients with renal failure, especially those on dialysis. Foot complications are encountered at a more than twofold frequency in diabetic patients with end-stage ...
Rapid effect of dexamethasone on the permeability of visceral sheep peritoneum
(2008)
The peritoneal mesothelium is a biologic barrier to water and ion transport. Its functional and structural integrity is crucial for peritoneal dialysis treatment. In vivo studies have shown that corticosteroids increase ...
Polysomnographic evidence of sleep apnoea disorders in lean and overweight haemodialysis patients
(2007)
Background - Sleep apnoea disorders affect a large proportion of patients with renal failure. However, it is unknown whether body composition and visceral adiposity predispose haernodialysis patients to sleep apnoea ...
Effect of cimetidine on the electrophysiologic profile of isolated visceral sheep peritoneum
(2009)
The peritoneal mesothelium is a barrier to ion transport in peritoneal dialysis. Cimetidine is an H2 receptor antagonist and a potent inhibitor of Na+/H+ antiporter, which is found in the plasma membranes of various cell ...
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 ...
Development of an egg-white bioassay for monitoring biotin levels in urine and serum
(2007)
This article reports on the development of a simple and cost-effective bioassay for the detection of biotin in urine and serum, based on the very selective binding of avidin and biotin. Avidin was allowed to react without ...
Plasma endothelin-1 in hemodialysis treatment - the influence of hypertension
(2004)
In patients on chronic hemodialysis hypotensive episodes are frequently encountered during the course of treatment and the prevalence of atherosclerosis is increased. Endothelin-1 (ET-1), an endothelium-derived peptide ...
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 ...
The Role of Hepcidin in Iron Homeostasis and Anemia in Hemodialysis Patients
(2009)
Anemia is a common complication in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Despite the great success of recombinant human erythropoietin in clinical practice, resistance to this therapy is common. Additionally, nephrologists frequently ...
