• Analytical side-to-side related anastomotic strategies and artery patching 

      Roussisa P.C., Giannakopoulosb A.E., Charalambousa H.P. (2015)
      Suture line stress concentration and intimal hyperplasia are related to the long-term complications of end-toside and side-to-side anastomosis. Several factors, such as hemodynamic effects, biological activities and the ...
    • Melatonin secretion is impaired in women with preeclampsia and an abnormal circadian blood pressure rhythm 

      Bouchlariotou, S.; Liakopoulos, V.; Giannopoulou, M.; Arampatzis, S.; Eleftheriadis, T.; Mertens, P. R.; Zintzaras, E.; Messinis, I. E.; Stefanidis, I. (2014)
      Non-dipping circadian blood pressure (BP) is a common finding in preeclampsia, accompanied by adverse outcomes. Melatonin plays pivotal role in biological circadian rhythms. This study investigated the relationship between ...
    • Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome promotes reversal albuminuria during sleep 

      Daskalopoulou, E. G.; Liavvas, C.; Nakas, C. T.; Vlachogiannis, E. G.; Bouros, D.; Dombros, N. V. (2011)
      Sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) may induce albuminuria during sleep which could reflect one of the possible pathogenetic mechanisms regarding cardiovascular risk. We studied 224 patients with newly diagnosed OSAS, free of any ...
    • Serum nitrite and nitrate levels in children with obstructive sleep-disordered breathing 

      Kaditis, A.; Alexopoulos, E.; Ntamagka, G.; Chaidas, K.; Karathanasi, A.; Gougoura, S.; Papathanasiou, A. A.; Liakos, P.; Zintzaras, E.; Gourgoulianis, K. (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 ...
    • Viscoelastic dynamic arterial response 

      Charalambous H.P., Roussis P.C., Giannakopoulos A.E. (2017)
      Background Arteries undergo large deformations under applied intraluminal pressure and may exhibit small hysteresis due to creep or relaxation process. The mechanical response of arteries depends, among others, on their ...
