A Two-for-One Diagnosis: A Rare Case of Chronic Abdominal Pain Caused by Gastroptosis and Wilkie's Syndrome in a Young Woman
Youssoufi N, Jaafari A, Mansour S, El Hamdi M, Gallerani A, Pierrakos C, et al.
Diagnostics (Basel) . 2025 Feb; 15(3). PMID: 39941200
Long-term abdominal pain (LAP) affects 30% to 40% of children, often linked to functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) such as functional dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome. Less common causes include gastroptosis...

Personalized mechanical ventilation guided by ultrasound in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (PEGASUS): study protocol for an international randomized clinical trial
Sinnige J, Smit M, Ghose A, de Grooth H, Itenov T, Ischaki E, et al.
Trials . 2024 May; 25(1):308. PMID: 38715118
Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a frequent cause of hypoxemic respiratory failure with a mortality rate of approximately 30%. Identifying ARDS subphenotypes based on "focal" or "non-focal" lung...

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation versus invasive ventilation in patients with COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome and pneumomediastinum: A cohort trial
Attou R, Redant S, Velissaris D, Kefer K, Abou Lebdeh M, Waterplas E, et al.
Artif Organs . 2024 Apr; 48(9):1038-1048. PMID: 38660764
Background: Patients with severe respiratory failure due to COVID-19 who are not under mechanical ventilation may develop severe hypoxemia when complicated with spontaneous pneumomediastinum (PM). These patients may be harmed...

Evaluating the efficacy of a standardized 4 mL/kg fluid bolus technique in critically ill patients with elevated PCO: secondary analysis of two prospective studies
Attou R, Du T, Velissaris D, Redant S, Talpos M, Pierrakos C
Front Med (Lausanne) . 2024 Apr; 11:1348747. PMID: 38585150
Background: Limiting the fluid bolus (FB) volume may attenuate side effects, including hemodilution and increased filling pressures, but it may also reduce hemodynamic responsiveness. The minimum volume to create hemodynamic...

Inflammatory biomarker-based clinical practice in patients with pneumonia: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials
Dimitropoulos D, Karmpadakis M, Paraskevas T, Michailides C, Lagadinou M, Platanaki C, et al.
Rom J Intern Med . 2024 Mar; 62(3):241-259. PMID: 38536775
Methods: A systematic review on PubMed was performed on April 2023 by two independent researchers using the PRISMA guidelines. Randomized trials which enrolled patients with pneumonia and compared biomarker-guided strategies...

Lung Ultrasound to Determine the Effect of Lower vs. Higher PEEP on Lung Aeration in Patients without ARDS-A Substudy of a Randomized Clinical Trial
Zimatore C, Algera A, Botta M, Pierrakos C, Serpa Neto A, Grasso S, et al.
Diagnostics (Basel) . 2023 Jun; 13(12). PMID: 37370885
Background: Ventilation with lower positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) may cause loss of lung aeration in critically ill invasively ventilated patients. This study investigated whether a systematic lung ultrasound (LUS) scoring...

A Literature Review of Pathophysiology, Clinical Manifestations, Medications and Optimal Dosage, Outpatient, and Post-hospitalization Use of Anticoagulation in COVID-19 Patients
Velissaris D, Michailides C, Karalis I, Paraskevas T, Koniari I, Pierrakos C, et al.
Anatol J Cardiol . 2023 Apr; 27(5):232-239. PMID: 37119193
Since severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 led to a world pandemic, extensive research has been conducted to identify its characteristics and form an appropriate management plan. One recognized complication...

Impact of Bacterial Infections on COVID-19 Patients: Is Timing Important?
Michailides C, Paraskevas T, Karalis I, Koniari I, Pierrakos C, Karamouzos V, et al.
Antibiotics (Basel) . 2023 Feb; 12(2). PMID: 36830290
Background: Along with important factors that worsen the clinical outcome of COVID-19, it has been described that bacterial infections among patients positive for a SARS-CoV-2 infection can play a dramatic...

Lung Ultrasound Prediction Model for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Multicenter Prospective Observational Study
Smit M, Hagens L, Heijnen N, Pisani L, Cherpanath T, Dongelmans D, et al.
Am J Respir Crit Care Med . 2023 Feb; 207(12):1591-1601. PMID: 36790377
Lung ultrasound (LUS) is a promising tool for diagnosis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), but adequately sized studies with external validation are lacking. To develop and validate a data-driven...

Ratio of carbon dioxide veno-arterial difference to oxygen arterial-venous difference is not associated with lactate decrease after fluid bolus in critically ill patients with hyperlactatemia: results from a prospective observational study
Kaefer K, Pierrakos C, Nguyen T, Velissaris D, Attou R, Devriendt J, et al.
BMC Anesthesiol . 2023 Feb; 23(1):37. PMID: 36721083
Background: High ratio of the carbon dioxide veno-arterial difference to the oxygen arterial-venous difference (PCO/CO) is associated with fluid bolus (FB) induced increase in oxygen consumption (VO). This study investigated...
