Journal ArticleDOI
Exhaled nitric oxide in seasonal allergic rhinitis: influence of pollen season and therapy.
TL;DR: Higher levels of exhaled NO were detected in patients with symptoms, either from the upper or lower airways, and with bronchial hyperreactivity, possibly suggesting the existence of lower airway inflammation in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis in and out of pollen season.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of laparoscopic cholecystectomy on global respiratory muscle strength.
Nikoletta Rovina,Demosthenes Bouros,Nikolaos Tzanakis,M Velegrakis,S Kandilakis,F. Vlasserou,Nikos M. Siafakas +6 more
TL;DR: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy caused smaller decreases in respiratory muscle strength than did open surgery, which accords with the hypothesis of phrenic nerve inhibition during open surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breath markers of oxidative stress and airway inflammation in Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis.
Christina Gratziou,Nikoletta Rovina,Michael Makris,Davina Camargo Madeira Simoes,Andreas Papapetropoulos,Charis Roussos +5 more
TL;DR: Natural allergen exposure induces OS and airway inflammation, as assessed by measurements of markers in EBC and exhaled air, in patients with SAR who have no clinical signs of lower airway involvement, and intranasal steroid treatment may have a regulatory role in the OS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lung Microbiome in Asthma: Current Perspectives.
Konstantinos Loverdos,Georgios Bellos,Louiza Kokolatou,Ioannis Vasileiadis,Evangelos Giamarellos,Matteo Pecchiari,Nikolaos Koulouris,Antonia Koutsoukou,Nikoletta Rovina +8 more
TL;DR: Current evidence on the characteristics of lung microbiome, and specifically the bacteriome, the modes of interaction between lung microbiota and host immune system, the role of the “lung–gut axis”, and the functional effects thereof on asthma pathogenesis are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells drive acute asthma exacerbations.
Aikaterini Dimitra Chairakaki,Maria Ioanna Saridaki,Katerina Pyrillou,Marios Angelos Mouratis,Ourania Koltsida,Ourania Koltsida,Ross P. Walton,Nathan W. Bartlett,Nathan W. Bartlett,Athanasios Stavropoulos,Louis Boon,Nikoletta Rovina,Nikolaos G. Papadopoulos,Nikolaos G. Papadopoulos,Sebastian L. Johnston,Evangelos Andreakos +15 more
TL;DR: PDC numbers were markedly increased during exacerbations and correlated with the severity of inflammation and the risk for asthma attacks, uncovering a previously unsuspected role of pDCs in asthma exacerbations with potential diagnostic and prognostic implications.
