Malakasioti, G.; Alexopoulos, E. I.; Varlami, V.; Chaidas, K.; Liakos, N.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Kaditis, A. G. (2013)Background: Hypertrophic tonsillar tissue in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has enhanced expression of glucocorticoid receptors, which may reflect low endogenous cortisol levels. We have evaluated the effect ... -

Varlami, V.; Malakasioti, G.; Alexopoulos, E. I.; Theologi, V.; Theophanous, E.; Liakos, N.; Daskalopoulou, E.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Kaditis, A. G. (2013)Small urinary protein loss (low-grade albuminuria or microalbuminuria) may reflect altered permeability of the glomerular filtration barrier. In the present study, it was hypothesized that children with obstructive sleep ... -
Morning levels of C-reactive protein in children with obstructive sleep-disordered breathing
Kaditis, A. G.; Alexopoulos, E. I.; Kalampouka, E.; Kostadima, E.; Germenis, A.; Zintzaras, E.; Gourgoulianis, K. (2005)Obstructive sleep-disordered breathing is associated with cardiovascular disease in adults, and elevated C-reactive protein (CRIP) has been proposed as a link between the two disorders. We hypothesized that children with ... -
Morning levels of fibrinogen in children with sleep-disordered breathing
Kaditis, A. G.; Alexopoulos, E. I.; Kalampouka, E.; Kostadima, E.; Angelopoulos, N.; Germenis, A.; Zintzaras, E.; Gourgoulianis, K. (2004)Elevated fibrinogen level is a predictor of cardiovascular disease in adults, and it is associated with sleep-disordered breathing. Levels of fibrinogen in adults are affected by other co-existing cardiovascular risk ... -
Mortality after Pediatric Lung Transplantation: Autopsies vs. Clinical Impression
Kaditis, A. G.; Phadke, S.; Dickman, P.; Webber, S.; Kurland, G.; Michaels, M. G. (2004)Appreciable mortality accompanies pediatric lung and heart-lung transplantation. The objective of this investigation was to compare the clinical impression of causes of death with autopsy findings in all pediatric lung or ... -
Nasal corticosteroids for children with snoring
Alexopoulos, E. I.; Kaditis, A. G.; Kalampouka, E.; Kostadima, E.; Angelopoulos, N. V.; Mikraki, V.; Skenteris, N.; Gourgoulianis, K. (2004)Nasal corticosteroids improve polysomnography indices but not symptoms in children with mild to moderate sleep-disordered breathing. We hypothesized that administration of nasal corticosteroids for 4 weeks to snoring ... -
Nocturnal change of circulating intercellular adhesion molecule 1 levels in children with snoring
Kaditis, A. G.; Alexopoulos, E. I.; Kalampouka, E.; Hatzi, F.; Karadonta, I.; Kyropoulos, T.; Kaditis, D. G.; Gourgoulianis, K.; Syrogiannopoulos, G. A.
