Individualised aerobic and resistance exercise training improves cardiorespiratory fitness and reduces cardiovascular risk in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
(2013)Background and objectives Low cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is a significant predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and interventions aiming at increasing CRF are known to reduce CVD risk. The effects of such ... -
Lack of association of acute phase response proteins with hormone levels and antidepressant medication in perimenopausal depression
(2014)Background: Major depression is associated with higher plasma levels of positive acute-phase proteins, as well as with lower plasma levels of negative acute-phase proteins. The aim of this study is to examine the levels ... -
Obesity in rheumatoid arthritis
(2011)Obesity is a major threat for public health and its study has attracted significant attention in the general population, predominantly due to its association with significant metabolic and cardiovascular complications. In ... -
Obstructive sleep-disordered breathing and fasting insulin levels in nonobese children
(2005)A positive correlation of severity of sleep-disordered breathing with morning fasting insulin levels, which is independent of obesity, was reported in adults and obese children. We hypothesized that both severity of ... -
Obstructive steep-disordered breathing and plasma levels of vascular endothelial growth factor in children
(2006)Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) may be one of the pathophysiologic links in the association between obstructive steep apnea-hypopnea and cardiovascular disease. Morning serum VEGF levels are increased in children ... -
Osteoprotegerin as a Marker of Atherosclerosis in Diabetic Patients
(2013)Atherosclerosis is the principal cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and has many risk factors, among which is diabetes. Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a soluble glycoprotein, involved in bone metabolism. OPG is also found in ... -
Oxidative stress and inflammatory responses following an acute bout of isokinetic exercise in obese women with knee osteoarthritis
(2013)Background: Obesity is associated with osteoarthritis and it is accompanied by chronic inflammation and elevated oxidative stress. Strengthening-type exercise is used in knee osteoarthritis (KOA) rehabilitation. This study ... -
Prognostic Significance of Serum Inflammatory Response Markers in Newly Diagnosed Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer before Chemoirradiation
(2015)Purpose. To identify whether the serum's baseline C-reactive protein (CRP) and albumin (Alb) levels related to clinicopathological parameters and overall survival (OS) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods. In ... -
A review of the postulated mechanisms concerning the association of Helicobacter pylori with ischemic heart disease
(2007)Since its discovery, Helicobacter pylori has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several diseases, both digestive and extradigestive. interestingly, the majority of the extradigestive-related literature is focused on ... -
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 ... -
Serum Acute Phase Proteins as Clinical Phase Indicators and Outcome Predictors in Naturally Occurring Canine Monocytic Ehrlichiosis
(2011)Background: Canine monocytic ehrlichiosis (CME), caused by Ehrlichia canis, is an important tick-borne disease of global importance. Currently, limited information is available on the diagnostic and prognostic value of ... -
Serum acute phase proteins in dogs with symptomatic esophageal spirocercosis
(2012)Canine spirocercosis (CS) is a helminthic infection caused by the nematode Spirocerca lupi. The clinical hallmark of the disease is esophageal dysphagia due to parasite-induced esophageal nodules. Currently, there is limited ... -
Serum nitrite and nitrate levels in children with obstructive sleep-disordered breathing
(2010)Background: Diminished nitric oxide (NO) levels have been reported in adults with obstructive sleep apnea but no data are available for children with obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). Objectives: To assess ... -
Sleep-disordered breathing and blood pressure in children - A meta-analysis
(2007)Objectives: To estimate the risk of elevated blood pressure (BP) in children with obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and to explore heterogeneity among published studies. Data Source: PubMed database. Study ... -
Statins and Infrainguinal Vascular Bypass Procedures
(2013)Statins exert several beneficial effects on patients with peripheral arterial disease, whether managed conservatively or undergoing open surgical/endovascular procedures. Statins improve perioperative and long-term mortality ... -
Systemic and airway inflammation and the presence of emphysema in patients with COPD
(2010)The aim of this study was to determine the impact of HRCT-confirmed emphysema on biomarkers evaluating airway and systemic inflammation in COPD patients. Forty-nine consecutive male COPD outpatients with stable COPD were ... -
Uric acid excretion in North American and Southeast European children with obstructive sleep apnea
(2010)Background and objectives: Responses to nocturnal hypoxemia accompanying sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) may vary in different populations. Aims of this study were to (1) assess whether severity of SDB is related to uric ... -
Urine Levels of Catecholamines in Greek Children With Obstructive Sleep-Disordered Breathing
(2009)Introduction: Adults with obstructive sleep apnea have increased sympathetic activity It was hypothesized that in children with symptoms of obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), morning urine levels of catecholamines ...
