CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology > 2019 > 42 > 12 > 1663-1677

Background Uterine fibroid embolisation (UFE) is an effective treatment for fibroids. There are varying analgesia protocols published to control procedure associated pain. We aimed to assess what protocols are most effective in controlling post-procedural pain. Materials and Methods A systematic review of the Embase and Medline databases was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. Studies regarding...

Journal of Surgical Education > 2017 > 74 > 4 > 690-697

Modern medicine is based on teamwork and communication. Bullying and discrimination can have a serious effect on these, affecting the standard of medical training and patient care.To determine the incidence of bullying and sex discrimination in the Greek health care system.An online questionnaire was designed and circulated among Greek medical professionals.We received 1349 completed questionnaires...

CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology > 2017 > 40 > 3 > 381-387

Introduction The unintentional arterial placement of a central venous line can have catastrophic complications. The purpose of this systematic review is to assess and analyse the available evidence regarding the use of the various vascular closure devices (VCDs) for the management of iatrogenic thoraco-cervical arterial injuries (ITCAI). Methods A systematic review was performed according to PRISMA...

Compression stockings significantly improve hemodynamic performance in post-thrombotic syndrome irrespective of class or length

Christopher R. Lattimer, Mustapha Azzam, Evi Kalodiki, Gregory C. Makris, more

Journal of Vascular Surgery > 2013 > 58 > 1 > 158-165

Graduated elastic compression (GEC) stockings have been demonstrated to reduce the morbidity associated with post-thrombotic syndrome. The ideal length or compression strength required to achieve this is speculative and related to physician preference and patient compliance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the hemodynamic performance of four different stockings and determine the patient's preference...

The size of juxtaluminal hypoechoic area in ultrasound images of asymptomatic carotid plaques predicts the occurrence of stroke

Stavros K. Kakkos, Maura B. Griffin, Andrew N. Nicolaides, Efthyvoulos Kyriacou, more

Journal of Vascular Surgery > 2013 > 57 > 3 > 609-618.e1

To test the hypothesis that the size of a juxtaluminal black (hypoechoic) area (JBA) in ultrasound images of asymptomatic carotid artery plaques predicts future ipsilateral ischemic stroke.A JBA was defined as an area of pixels with a grayscale value <25 adjacent to the lumen without a visible echogenic cap after image normalization. The size of a JBA was measured in the carotid plaque images of...

Measurement of motion of carotid bifurcation plaques

Hamed Nasrabadi, Marios S. Pattichis, Andrew N. Nicolaides, Maura Griffin, more

2012 IEEE 12th International Conference on Bioinformatics & Bioengineering (BIBE) > 506 - 511

2012 IEEE 12th International Conference on Bioinformatics & Bioengineering (BIBE)

Video loops of B-mode ultrasound images of 35 carotid bifurcation plaques were obtained (4 symptomatic and 31 asymptomatic) from patients with carotid bifurcation atherosclerosis. Video loops were classified visually as showing concordant (n=22) or discordant motion (n=13). Concordant plaques were characterized by uniform orientation of motion throughout the cardiac cycle. Discordant plaques exhibited...

Saphenous pulsation on duplex may be a marker of severe chronic superficial venous insufficiency

Christopher R. Lattimer, Mustapha Azzam, Evi Kalodiki, Gregory C. Makris, more

Journal of Vascular Surgery > 2012 > 56 > 5 > 1338-1343

Pulsatile flow in deep, perforating veins and varicose veins (VVs) has been described previously to support a hypothesis of arteriovenous (AV) fistulae in the pathogenesis of VVs. Its presence has also been suggested as a cause of failure of VV treatments. However, AV communications have never been adequately visualized and direct pressure tracings within leg veins have been inconclusive. The present...

Three-dimensional ultrasound imaging for the evaluation of carotid atherosclerosis

Gregory C. Makris, Anthi Lavida, Maura Griffin, George Geroulakos, more

Atherosclerosis > 2011 > 219 > 2 > 377-383

Emerging data suggests that 3-dimensional (D) ultrasound (US) may provide us with a new tool for the identification of the vulnerable carotid plaque.A systematic review of the PubMed, Scopus and Cochrane databases regarding the reproducibility and effectiveness of 3D US in evaluation of carotid plaque disease (CPD) was performed.Seven studies on the reproducibility of 3D ultrasound evaluation of plaque...

The effect of statins on carotid plaque morphology: A LDL-associated action or one more pleiotropic effect of statins?

Gregory C. Makris, Anthi Lavida, Andrew N. Nicolaides, George Geroulakos

Atherosclerosis > 2010 > 213 > 1 > 8-20

The early identification of the unstable carotid plaque together with the best medical treatment, are two missing parts of the stroke-prevention puzzle. This review summarizes the available evidence on the effects of statins on carotid plaque morphology.A systematic review of the PubMed, Scopus and Cochrane Library databases was performed. Studies evaluating the effect of statins on plaque imaging...

Do PubMed and Google searches help medical students and young doctors reach the correct diagnosis? A pilot study

Matthew E. Falagas, Fotinie Ntziora, Gregory C. Makris, George A. Malietzis, more

European Journal of Internal Medicine > 2009 > 20 > 8 > 788-790

In the era of the World Wide Web we sought to examine whether the use of PubMed and Google can help physicians to improve their diagnostic skills.Twenty-six diagnostic cases presented in the case records of the New England Journal of Medicine during 2005 were used for our analysis. Three investigators (one trainee doctor and two final year medical students), tried determining the diagnosis, initially...

Probiotics for the prevention of respiratory tract infections: a systematic review

Evridiki K. Vouloumanou, Gregory C. Makris, Drosos E. Karageorgopoulos, Matthew E. Falagas

International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents > 2009 > 34 > 3 > 197.e1-197.e10

We evaluated the clinical evidence regarding probiotic use for the prevention of respiratory tract infections (RTIs). Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) studying the effects of probiotics for the prevention of upper or lower RTIs were systematically identified. Fourteen RCTs (twelve involving healthy subjects and two involving patients with RTIs) were included. Various Lactobacillus strains were...

Bacterial interference for the prevention and treatment of infections

Matthew E. Falagas, Petros I. Rafailidis, Gregory C. Makris

International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents > 2008 > 31 > 6 > 518-522

Bacterial interference refers to the antagonism between bacterial species during the process of surface colonisation and acquisition of nutrients. The clinical evidence on the potential applications of microorganisms for the prevention and/or treatment of infections in the upper respiratory, urogenital and gastrointestinal tracts was reviewed through the PubMed and Scopus databases. Data regarding...
