BACKGROUND: To investigate the levels of VEGF in the systemic circulation of patients with type 1 ROP who received intravitreal injections of 1 mg (0.025 mL) aflibercept (IVA) or 0.625 mg (0.025 mL) bevacizumab (IVB).
AIMS: To evaluate the effects of MitraClip on left ventricular (LV) and left atrial (LA) myocardial wall stress as assessed with the use of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and strain imaging.
Up to 50% of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD) experience a loss of response (LOR) to infliximab after an initial response to the drug. Granulocyte/monocyte apheresis (GMA) with the Adacolumn depletes the activated myeloid...
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by progressive enlargement of kidney cysts leading to chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Identification of an early biomarker that can predict progres...
BACKGROUND: Although elevated serum levels of visinin-like protein 1 (VILIP-1), a neuron-specific calcium sensor protein, are associated with ischaemic stroke, only a single study has evaluated VILIP-1 as a biomarker of traumatic brain injury (TBI). ...
Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) often undergo troponin (Tn) testing in the emergency department (ED), but the clinical significance of mildly elevated values remains unclear. We evaluated short-term 30-day post-discharge outcomes in AF patient...
Since coffee may help to prevent the development of metabolic syndrome (MetS), we aimed to evaluate the short- and long-term effects of a coffee-based supplement on different features of diet-induced MetS. In this study, 24 Sprague Dawley rats were d...

BACKGROUND: Active performance is crucial for motor learning, and, together with motivation, is believed to be associated with a better rehabilitation outcome. Virtual reality (VR) is an innovative approach to engage and motivate patients during trai...
OBJECTIVES: This clinical follow-up evaluated the long-term outcome of full-mouth rehabilitations with adhesively bonded all-ceramic restorations in patients suffering from amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) or affected by extensive tooth wear including a ...
OBJECTIVES: A knee joint contracture, a loss in passive range of motion (ROM), can be caused by prolonged immobility. In a rat knee immobilization flexion contracture model, the posterior capsule was shown to contribute to an irreversible limitation ...
