Alzheimer's Disease: SPECT and PET Tracers for Beta-Amyloid Imaging
(2010)The definite diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is based on the detection of beta amyloid (A beta) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) - which are the pathological hallmarks of the disease- in the postmortem ... -
Brain Perfusion SPECT with Brodmann Areas Analysis in Differentiating Frontotemporal Dementia Subtypes
(2014)Despite the known validity of clinical diagnostic criteria, significant overlap of clinical symptoms between Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) subtypes exists in several cases, resulting in great uncertainty of the diagnostic ... -
Clinical Evaluation of Brain Perfusion SPECT with Brodmann Areas Mapping in Early Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease
(2015)Early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) based on clinical criteria alone may be problematic, while current and future treatments should be administered earlier in order to be more effective. Thus, various disease ... -
The Emerging Roles of Adiponectin in Female Reproductive System-Associated Disorders and Pregnancy
(2013)Adiponectin, the most abundant adipose-released cytokine, has an important role in metabolism, primarily through reducing insulin resistance. Reproductive functions are known to be influenced by energy balance and adiponectin ... -
Ghrelin: New Insights into Female Reproductive System-Associated Disorders and Pregnancy
(2012)Ghrelin is considered the endogenous ligand of growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1a, and its modulatory actions have been demonstrated in a large array of endocrine and nonendocrine functions. According to recent ... -
Impact of ACE and ApoE polymorphisms on myocardial perfusion: correlation with myocardial single photon emission computed tomographic imaging
(2009)Coronary artery disease is associated with multiple genetic and environmental risk factors. In this study, we evaluated the correlation of angiotensin l-converting enzyme (ACE) (I/D) and ApoE gene polymorphisms (E2, E3, ... -
Long-term prognostic value of heart-rate recovery after treadmill testing in patients with diabetes mellitus
(2009)Background: Heart-rate recovery (HRR) is considered to be an independent predictor of cardiac and all-cause mortality. We examined the long-term prognostic value of HRR in patients suffering from diabetes mellitus. Methods: ... -
Long-term prognostic value of Tc-99m tetrofosmin myocardial gated-SPECT imaging in asymptomatic patients after percutaneous coronary intervention
(2008)PURPOSE: To evaluate the long-term prognostic value of Tc-99m tetrofosmin myocardial gated-SPECT in asymptomatic patients after coronary artery stenting. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We included 246 consecutive patients in the ... -
Moderate performance of serum S100A12, in distinguishing inflammatory bowel disease from irritable bowel syndrome
(2010)Background: S100A12, a calcium-binding proinflammatory protein secreted by granulocytes, has been associated with different diseases of inflammatory origin, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In this study, the ... -
Perfusion SPECT studies with mapping of Brodmann areas in differentiating Alzheimer's disease from frontotemporal degeneration syndromes
(2012)Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the contribution of brain perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPEC) studies with mapping of Brodmann areas (BAs) in the differential diagnosis between ... -
Sequence variations in the FII, FV, F13A1, FGB and PAI-1 genes are associated with differences in myocardial perfusion
(2011)Aims: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in modern societies. The association between genetic markers and CAD is still poorly understood. In this study, we evaluated the effect ...
