The effect of different diet patterns on psoriasis (PSO) and psoriatic arthritis (PSA) is unknown. Τhe aim our study was to evaluate the effectiveness a Mediterranean (MD) Ketogenic (KD), in patients with PSO PSA. Twenty-six were randomly assigned start either MD or KD for period 8 weeks. After 6-week washout interval, two groups crossed over other type At end this study, resulted significant reduction weight (p = 0.002, p < 0.001, respectively), BMI 0.006, waist circumference (WC) total...
Background and Objectives: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) are cardioprotective drugs. We investigated their effects on left atrial function, a major determinant of cardiac diastolic dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus. also explored the association changes arterial stiffness with those LA strain after treatment. Materials Methods: A total 200 patients (59.5 ± 9.1 year old, 151 male) mellitus treated metformin were...
Hydroxytyrosol reduces low-density lipoprotein oxidation, contributing to prevention of atherosclerosis progression.In a prospective, crossover, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 30 chronic coronary artery syndrome (CCAS) patients were randomized 4 capsules/day, containing 412.5 mg olive oil with 2.5 hydroxytyrosol (OOHT) each one or placebo for 1 month and then crossed over the alternate treatment (placebo OOHT). We measured (a) perfused boundary region (PBR) sublingual arterial...
Abstract Background/Introduction Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been associated with impaired subclinical markers of endothelial and vascularfunction. Purpose We investigated whether intervention Endocalyx (Microvascular Health Solutions),a dietary supplement containing glycosaminoglycans fucoidan, can improve glycocalyx integrity,arterial stiffness, coronary microcirculationin patients after COVID-19 infection. Methods Fiftypatients within 15 days a confirmed mild-to-moderate...
Background We investigated the effects of combined treatment with glucagon like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1RA) and sodium‐glucose cotransporter‐2 inhibitors (SGLT‐2i) on NT‐proBNP (N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide), GDF‐15 (growth differentiation factor 15), MOTS‐c (mitochondrial‐derived peptide‐c) in patients type 2 diabetes (T2D) high or very cardiovascular risk. Methods studied 163 consecutive who were treated insulin (n=40), liraglutide (n=41), empagliflozin (n=42), their...
Metabolic-dysfunction Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) has been associated with increased cardiovascular risk. The aim of this Randomized Double-blind clinical Trial was to evaluate the effects coenzyme-Q10 supplementation in patients MASLD terms endothelial, vascular and myocardial function.
AbstractIntroduction: Usage of automated insulin delivery systems is increasing for the treatment people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). This study compared long-term cost-effectiveness Advanced Hybrid Closed Loop MiniMed 780G (AHCL) system versus sensor augmented pump (SAP) predictive low glucose management (PLGM) or multiple daily injections (MDI) plus intermittently scanned continuous monitoring (isCGM) in T1D Greece. Methods: Analyses were performed using IQVIA CORE Diabetes Model, clinical...
Abstract Context The cardiovascular benefits of semaglutide are established; however, its effects on surrogate vascular markers and liver function not known. Objective To investigate the vascular, endothelial, in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) nonalcoholic fatty disease (NAFLD). Methods Overall, 75 consecutive subjects T2DM NAFLD were enrolled: 50 received 1 mg (treatment group) 25 dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (control group). All underwent a clinical, hepatic examination...
To evaluate the potential association between endothelial glycocalyx damage, as well arterial stiffness, and retinal changes on optical coherence tomography (OCT) OCT-angiography (OCT-A) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).
Osteoprotegerin (OPG) and osteopontin (OPN) are vascular calcification inhibitors with a known role in the atherosclerotic inflammatory process. We investigated their relationship adverse outcomes (restenosis/adverse cardiovascular events) after endovascular revascularisation of patients peripheral arterial disease (PAD).203 consecutive were enrolled PAD group (PADG) 78 age sex-matched subjects less than two risk factors served as control (COG). PADG underwent standard medical assessment at...
Abstract Background Bullous pemphigoid is the most common bullous chronic autoimmune skin disease. Recent studies have suggested dipeptidyl-peptidase 4 inhibitors as possible predisposing agents of pemphigoid. The objective our study was to prospectively estimate association between gliptins and development Methods We conducted a prospective which included all patients diagnosed with biopsy-proven in Dermatology Department hospital April 1, 2009 December 31,2019. diagnosis based on specific...
Familial partial lipodystrophy (FPLD) is a rare syndrome in which patient’s phenotype not merely dependent on the specific genetic mutation, but it also defined by combination of other demographic, environmental and factors. In this prospective observational study Greek referral center, we enrolled 39 patients who fulfilled clinical criteria FPLD. A analysis was conducted, included sequence deletion/duplication analyses LMNA PPRARG genes, along with anthropometric metabolic parameters. The...
Background: Physicians’ exercise habits vary across different medical specialties and health service infrastructure. We assessed physicians’ performance according to the recommendations of 2020 European Society Cardiology Guidelines. Methods: This cross-sectional study comprised 742 physicians Athens Medical Association (AMA), Greece. Utilizing a self-administered questionnaire, habits, demographics, specialty, infrastructure [Hellenic National Health care System (HNHS) or Private (PS)] were...
