European Stroke Organisation (ESO) guidelines for the management of temperature in patients with acute ischemic stroke
(2015)
Background: Hyperthermia is a frequent complication in patients with acute ischemic stroke. On the other hand, therapeutically induced hypothermia has shown promising potential in animal models of focal cerebral ischemia. ...
Pulmonary infection by Rhodococcus equi presenting with positive Ziehl-Neelsen stain in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus: A case report
(2014)
Introduction: Patients with human immunodeficiency virus carry a significant risk of contracting opportunistic infections. The worldwide increased incidence of tuberculosis has instituted pulmonary tuberculosis as an ...
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase depletes tryptophan, activates general control non-derepressible 2 kinase and down-regulates key enzymes involved in fatty acid synthesis in primary human CD4+ T cells
(2015)
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is expressed in antigen-presenting cells and exerts immunosuppressive effects on CD4+ T cells. One mechanism is through the inhibition of aerobic glycolysis. Another prerequisite for T-cell ...
Autoantibodies to asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) in patients with autoimmune liver diseases
(2015)
Background: The liver asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) is the only organ-specific autoantigenic target in autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) patients and corresponding autoantibodies (Abs) have been suggested aiding in the ...
Complicated septic arthritis after knee arthroscopy in a 75-year-old man with osteoarthritis and a popliteal cyst
(2015)
A 75-year-old man presented in shock secondary to septic arthritis of the knee. The patient, with a known history of knee osteoarthritis, was treated elsewhere for mechanical locking symptoms and effusion with arthroscopic ...
The role of genetic polymorphisms of the Renin-Angiotensin System in renal diseases: A meta-analysis
(2014)
Renal failure has a complex phenotype resulting from an underlying kidney disease as well as environmental and genetic factors. In the present study we performed a systematic review and meta-analyses to evaluate the ...
Suture Line Response of End-to-Side Anastomosis: A Stress Concentration Methodology
(2015)
End-to-side vascular anastomosis has a considerable complexity regarding the suturing of the juncture line between the artery and the graft. The present study proposes a stress–concentration methodology for the prediction ...
Hepatocellular carcinoma risk in HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B patients with or without cirrhosis treated with entecavir: HepNet.Greece cohort
(2015)
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) may still develop in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients treated with lamivudine. Whether HCC rates are comparable in patients treated with the current first-line antivirals remains uncertain. ...
ASTRAL-R score predicts non-recanalisation after intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischaemic stroke
(2015)
Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) as treatment in acute ischaemic strokes may be insufficient to achieve recanalisation in certain patients. Predicting probability of non-recanalisation after IVT may have the potential to ...
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis: An unusual manifestation of brucellosis in a previous healthy male patient
(2015)
Brucellosis is a common zoonotic disease with worldwide distribution and protean clinical manifestations. Therefore, its prompt and timely diagnosis is still challenging. Among several complications of brucellosis, spontaneous ...
