Angiotensin II up-regulates CX3CR1 expression in THP-1 monocytes: impact on vascular inflammation and atherogenesis
(2010)The potential regulatory effect of angiotensins on circulating mononuclear cell activation and migration has not yet been thoroughly evaluated. Using flow cytometry we assessed the possible effect of angiotensin I and II ... -
Association of sleep apnea severity and obesity with insulin resistance, C-reactive protein, and leptin levels in male patients with obstructive sleep apnea
(2008)Obesity is the major confounding factor in the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and increased risk for cardiovascular disease. The aim of the study was to investigate the association of sleep apnea severity ... -
Blood pressure changes in acute ischemic stroke and outcome with respect to stroke etiology
(2012)Objective: Previous research suggested that proper blood pressure (BP) management in acute stroke may need to take into account the underlying etiology. Methods: All patients with acute ischemic stroke registered in the ... -
Clinical applications of intracranial pressure monitoring in traumatic brain injury
(2014)Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring has been for decades a cornerstone of traumatic brain injury (TBI) management. Nevertheless, in recent years, its usefulness has been questioned in several reports. A group of ... -
Comparison of blood pressure measurements in children with and without habitual snoring
(2005)Higher or similar systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure has been recorded in children with sleep apnea compared to subjects with primary snoring or in those with primary snoring compared to controls. To investigate the ... -
Comparison of the effects of bimatoprost and a fixed combination of latanoprost and timolol on 24-hour blood and ocular perfusion pressures: the results of a randomized trial
(2015)Background: To compare the effect of bimatoprost and the fixed combination latanoprost-timolol (LTFC) on 24-hour systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure and on 24-hour ocular perfusion pressure (OPP). Methods: ... -
Effects of adenotonsillectomy on R-R interval and brain natriuretic peptide levels in children with sleep apnea: A preliminary report
(2011)Objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with decreased R-R interval length and overall R-R interval variability in the electrocardiogram along with increased morning brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) blood levels. ... -
Experimental Cardiac Hypertrophy Induced by Oral Administration of Mineralocorticoid and Saline in Rats
(2012)We suggest a new, easily applicable way of myocardial hypertrophy induction in rats. Forty randomized age-matched male Wistar rats were divided into 2 groups of 20 each: a control group and an orally administered ... -
Factors associated with the occurrence of epistaxis in natural canine leishmaniasis (Leishmania infantum)
(2008)Background: Canine leishmaniasis (CanL) is a common cause of epistaxis in dogs residing in endemic areas. The pathogenesis of CanL-associated epistaxis has not been fully explored because of the limited number of cases ... -
The impact of frequently encountered cardiovascular risk factors on sexual dysfunction in rheumatic disorders
(2013)Traditional cardiovascular risk factors have been acknowledged as major contributors to sexual dysfunction in the general population. The purpose of this study was to explore their impact on sexual function in rheumatologic ... -
Impact of intraoperative hypotension on hospital stay in major abdominal surgery
(2011)Although the relationship between preoperative risk factors and outcomes has been extensively studied, the effect of intraoperative hemodynamic changes in a patient's postoperative course has been less well defined. We ... -
Impaired elastic properties of ascending aorta in patients with giant cell arteritis
(2005)Objective: To investigate the elastic properties of the ascending aorta in untreated patients with giant cell arteritis compared with age and sex matched normal controls. Methods: Distensibility of the ascending aorta and ... -
Low-grade albuminuria in children with obstructive sleep apnea
(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 ... -
Milestones in Antihypertensive Drug Treatment
(2015)Hypertension provoked since the beginning of the 19th century a medical debate between physicians. The early antihypertensive agents were poorly tolerated. Progress towards more effective drugs, appeared after the 2nd World ... -
Morning levels of C-reactive protein in children with obstructive sleep-disordered breathing
(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 ... -
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 ... -
Oxidative stress in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
(2013)We aimed to investigate whether systemic oxidative stress is increased in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). A total of 18 patients with severe OSAS and 13 controls were included in the study. Inclusion ... -
Periodic Limb Movements in Sleep Contribute to Further Cardiac Structure Abnormalities in Hemodialysis Patients with Restless Legs Syndrome
(2013)Study Objectives: In hemodialysis (HD) patients, restless legs syndrome (RLS) and periodic limb movements in sleep (PLMS) constitute common sleep disorders. Recent findings indicate a role for PLMS as a risk factor in the ... -
Polymorphisms of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS3) gene in preeclampsia: a candidate-gene association study
(2011)Background: The endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene (NOS3) has been proposed as a candidate gene for preeclampsia. However, studies so far have produced conflicting results. This study examines the specific role of ...
