Association of plaque echostructure and cardiovascular risk factors with symptomatic carotid artery disease
(2010)Aim. Severity of stenosis remains the main factor for assessing risk of stroke in patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) disease. This study was conducted to investigate the association of plaque echostructure and ... -
Association of plaque echostructure and cardiovascular risk factors with symptomatic carotid artery disease
(2009)Background: Severity of stenosis remains the main factor for assessing risk of stroke in patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) disease. This study was conducted to investigate the association of plaque echostructure ... -
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 ... -
The effect of homocysteine on the clinical outcomes of ventilated patients with severe sepsis
(2010)Background. There is considerable evidence that elevated plasma homocysteine levels are associated with a prothrombotic milieu, whereas activation of the coagulation cascade is an important component of the pathogenesis ... -
The Effect of Plasma Homocysteine Levels on Clinical Outcomes of Patients With Acute Lung Injury/Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
(2009)Background: Several reports have shown that homocysteine promotes thrombosis by disturbing the procoagulant-anticoagulant balance, whereas alterations in coagulation and fibrinolysis have been suggested as important ... -
Endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphisms and diabetic nephropathy: A HuGE review and meta-analysis
(2009)Candidate-gene association studies that examined the association between polymorphisms of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3) gene (G894T, 4b/a, and T786C) and diabetic nephropathy or diabetes leading to severe ... -
Increased soluble E-selectin levels in type 2 diabetic patients with peripheral arterial disease
(2004)Aim. Abnormal endothelial function is well known in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus; and thought to induce macroangiopathy. Increased levels of adhesion molecules have been found in type 2 diabetic patients and it ... -
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene polymorphism as a risk factor for diabetic nephropathy: a meta-analysis
(2007)Investigations into the association between diabetic nephropathy (DN) and MTHFR C677T gene polymorphism in several case-control studies has yielded contradictory results. To shed light on these inconclusive findings, a ... -
Morbidity, Mortality, and Organ Damage in Patients with Antiphospholipid Syndrome
(2012)Objective. To describe morbidity, organ damage, mortality, and cause of death in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Methods. Descriptive analysis of 135 patients. Patients were clustered according to initial ... -
The relationship between C677T methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene polymorphism and retinopathy in type 2 diabetes: a meta-analysis
(2005)The association between retincipathy in type 2 diabetes [diabetic retinopathy (DR)] and the C677T polymorphism in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene has been investigated in several case-control studies. ... -
Renal Function Impairment in Peripheral Arterial Disease: An Important Parameter that Should not Be Neglected
(2009)A considerable percentage of patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) have impaired renal function. We searched the literature (PubMed/Medline) to determine the clinical significance and assess the management of ...
