Addiction > 113 > 11 > 2099 - 2106

Aims To measure carbonyl emissions from a heated tobacco product (IQOS) in comparison with an e‐cigarette (Nautilus Mini) and a commercial tobacco cigarette (Marlboro Red). Design Regular and menthol variants of the heated tobacco product were tested. A tank‐type atomizer was tested with a tobacco‐flavoured liquid at 10 and 14 W. Aerosol and smoke were collected in impingers containing 2,4‐dinitrophenylhydrazine...

Platelet to lymphocyte ratio in acute aortic dissection

Eftihia Sbarouni, Panagiota Georgiadou, Elias Kosmas, Antonis Analitis, more

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis > 32 > 7 > n/a - n/a

Background Inflammation plays an important role in the initiation and progression of acute aortic dissection (AAD). New inflammatory indices derived from full cell blood count and its differential may be associated with increased risk. We evaluated platelet‐lymphocyte (PLR), red cell distribution width (RDW) and RDW/PLT's (platelets) (RPR) in AAD. Methods We studied 120 consecutive patients with...

Balloon pulmonary angioplasty is a promising option in thalassemic patients with inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension

Panagiotis Karyofyllis, Dimitris Tsiapras, Varvara Papadopoulou, Michael D. Diamantidis, more

Journal of Thrombosis and Thrombolysis > 2018 > 46 > 4 > 516-520

Pulmonary hypertension (PH), a serious disorder with a high morbidity and mortality rate, is known to occur in a number of unrelated systemic diseases. β-Thalassaemia, among other haematological disorders, develop PH which is not an infrequent finding and worsens the prognosis. Haemolysis, iron overload and hypercoagulable state are among the main pathogenetic mechanisms. Haemoglobinopathies and congenital...

Do flavouring compounds contribute to aldehyde emissions in e-cigarettes?

Konstantinos E. Farsalinos, Vassilis Voudris

Food and Chemical Toxicology > 2018 > 115 > C > 212-217

A recent study identified up to 10,000-fold higher aldehyde emissions from flavoured compared to unflavoured e-cigarette liquids. We set to replicate this study and also test similar flavourings with a new-generation e-cigarette device.Three liquids with the highest levels of aldehyde emissions in the previous study were tested (in standard and sweetened versions) using the same e-cigarette device...

Balloon Pulmonary Angioplasty in Patients With Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension

Panagiotis Karyofyllis, Varvara Papadopoulou, Vassilis Voudris, Hiromi Matsubara

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine > 2018 > 20 > 2 > 1-11

Purpose of review Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is the only potentially curable form of precapillary pulmonary hypertension. Although pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is the preferred management strategy, a significant number of CTEPH patients will have an inoperable disease. As drug therapy is not expected to offer relief from the mechanical component of the disease, the novel...

E-cigarettes emit very high formaldehyde levels only in conditions that are aversive to users: A replication study under verified realistic use conditions

Konstantinos E. Farsalinos, Vassilis Voudris, Alketa Spyrou, Konstantinos Poulas

Food and Chemical Toxicology > 2017 > 109 > P1 > 90-94

In 2015, a study identified 5–15-fold higher levels of formaldehyde emissions from an old-generation e-cigarette tested at 5.0 V compared to tobacco cigarettes. We set to replicate this study using the same e-cigarette equipment and e-liquid, while checking for the generation of dry puffs.Experienced e-cigarette users (n = 26) took 4 s puffs at different voltage settings and were asked to report the...

JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions > 2017 > 10 > 12 > 1215-1221

This analysis investigates the 5-year outcomes of the biodegradable polymer biolimus-eluting stent (BP-BES) and durable polymer everolimus-eluting stent (DP-EES) in an all-comers population undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.Recent 1- and 3-year results from randomized trials have indicated similar safety and efficacy outcomes of BP-BES and DP-EES. Whether benefits of the biodegradable...
