TL;DR: Investigation of the effects of a human recombinant interleukin-1a receptor antagonist (anakinra) on nitrooxidative stress and vascular and left ventricular function found it to be associated with reduction of nitro Oxidation stress and endothelin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lowering interleukin-1 activity with anakinra improves myocardial deformation in rheumatoid arthritis
Ignatios Ikonomidis,Stavros Tzortzis,John Lekakis,Ioannis Paraskevaidis,Ioanna Andreadou,Maria Nikolaou,T. Kaplanoglou,Pelagia Katsimbri,Grigorios Skarantavos,Panayiotis N. Soucacos,D Th Kremastinos +10 more
TL;DR: Myocardial deformation is impaired in RA patients and is related to nitro-oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction, and chronic inhibition of IL-1 improves LV deformation in parallel with endothelial function and nitro
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact on bone and muscle area after spinal cord injury
Yannis Dionyssiotis,Konstantinos D. Stathopoulos,G. Trovas,Nikolaos Papaioannou,Grigorios Skarantavos,Panayiotis J. Papagelopoulos +5 more
TL;DR: The relationship between bone and muscle was consistent in able-bodied subjects and it was predictably altered in those with SCI, a clinical disease affecting bone and Muscle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of soluble apoptotic markers with impaired left ventricular deformation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Effects of inhibition of interleukin-1 activity by anakinra.
Ignatios Ikonomidis,Stavros Tzortzis,John Lekakis,Ioannis Paraskevaidis,P. Dasou,John T. Parissis,Maria Nikolaou,Sophia L. Markantonis,Pelagia Katsimbri,Grigorios Skarantavos,Ioanna Andreadou,Maria Anastasiou-Nana +11 more
TL;DR: In conclusion, inhibition of IL-1 activity by anakinra reduces apoptotic markers leading to improved LV performance in RA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modern Rehabilitation in Osteoporosis, Falls, and Fractures
TL;DR: Success of rehabilitation in osteoporotic and fractured subjects through an individualized educational approach optimizes function to the highest level of independence while improving the overall quality of life.
