Journal ArticleDOI
The lung microbiome dynamics between stability and exacerbation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): Current perspectives.
Efrosini Dima,Anna Kyriakoudi,Maria Kaponi,Ioannis Vasileiadis,Panagiota Stamou,Antonia Koutsoukou,Nikolaos Koulouris,Nikoletta Rovina +7 more
TL;DR: There is a growing body of evidence for the role of microbiome in COPD several unanswered questions still exist for its clinical relevance, and the presence of specific bacterial taxa in the airways has the potential to influence the host immune response and possibly to interfere with disease phenotype.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effectiveness of pharmacotherapy and behavioral interventions for smoking cessation in actual clinical practice.
Nikoletta Rovina,Ioanna Nikoloutsou,Georgia Katsani,Efrossini Dima,Konstantinos Fransis,Charis Roussos,Christina Gratziou +6 more
TL;DR: Bupropion SR is an effective aid for smoking cessation in clinical practice and NSGT increased the chances for success at the end of therapy when combined with bupropion SR, while CBGT as monotherapy was less effective compared with the approaches including pharmacotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pulmonary function tests, sputum induction, and bronchial provocation tests: diagnostic tools in the challenge of distinguishing asthma and COPD phenotypes in clinical practice
TL;DR: Although overlaps exist in the disease characteristics of asthma and COPD, the combination of lung function testing, sputum induction, and AHR reveals information that facilitates the distinction between these diseases, allowing clinicians to better tailor their therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Respiratory mechanics in brain injury: A review.
Antonia Koutsoukou,Maria Katsiari,Stylianos E. Orfanos,Anastasia Kotanidou,Maria Daganou,Magdalini Kyriakopoulou,Nikolaos Koulouris,Nikoletta Rovina +7 more
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to explore the mechanical properties of the respiratory system in BD patients along with the underlying mechanisms, and to translate the evidence of animal and clinical studies into therapeutic implications regarding the mechanical ventilation of these critically ill patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Implication of Interleukin (IL)-18 in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Efrossini Dima,Ourania Koltsida,Paraskevi Katsaounou,Sofia Vakali,Antonia Koutsoukou,Nikolaos Koulouris,Nikoletta Rovina +6 more
TL;DR: The published data prompt to the hypothesis that IL-18 induces a broad spectrum of COPD-like inflammatory and remodeling responses in the murine lung and also induces a mixed type 1, type 2, and type 17 cytokine responses.
