Bioinks and in vitro neurovascular unit production - New prospects in Alzheimer's disease research.
Authors: Lougiaki P, Tsolaki M, Pantazaki A Abstract Neurovascular dysfunction is a central process in the pathogenesis of the stroke and most neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. The multi-cell neurovascular unit (NVU) combines the components of the neural, vascular and extracellular matrix (ECM) into an important interface whose proper function is critical to maintaining brain health. Tissue engineering now offers new tools and information to promote understanding of NVU's operation. A promising area for the development of NVU models is their bio-production through 3D bio-printing to produce...

Semi-quantitative assessment of pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital heart disease through myocardial perfusion imaging.
CONCLUSION: Semi-quantitative MPI has high diagnostic value in evaluating the severity level of pulmonary arterial hypertension in patients with congenital heart disease. The diagnostic performance of MPI at pre-treatment patients was superior to that at post-treatment. More cases need to be included for further study.

The role of copeptin in patients with subarachnoid haemorrage.
CONCLUSION: Patients with a gradual increase of copeptin values showed to have bad prognosis of the disease. Four with extremely high copeptin values passed away, while patients with a gradual decrease or a normal amount of copeptin values had good prognosis. It is supported that copeptin values are a reliable prognostic factor in monitoring patients with intracranial haemorrhage. PMID: 26665233 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Study of the lipidemic profile of diabetic patients. Negative correlation of cholesterol levels of diabetes type I patients with serum amylase concentration.
Authors: Eleftheriou P, Tseka E, Varaga E, Nasiou M, Sampanis C, Zografou I, Oulorgia J, Damontsidou K, Zaimi T, Markou HI, Varsamidis K, Petrou C, Limberaki E, Ganou CJ Abstract Diabetes Mellitus type I (DM1) and II (DM2) share the common characteristic of high blood glucose concentration and the health complications resulting from uncontrolled hyperglycemia such as hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular problems, stroke, ketoacidosis, kidney failure and blindness but have different etiology. DM1 is practically an autoimmune disease. Genetic susceptibility together with environmental factors leads to disease development. ...
