New Insights in the Era of Clinical Biomarkers as Potential Predictors of Systemic Therapy-Induced Cardiotoxicity in Women with Breast Cancer: A Systematic Review.

Unlabelled: Cardiotoxicity induced by breast cancer therapies is a potentially serious complication associated with the use of various breast cancer therapies. Prediction and better management of cardiotoxicity in patients receiving chemotherapy is of critical importance. However, the management of cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) lacks clinical evidence and is based on limited clinical studies.

Covid-19 case management in a Greek migrant camp: The Hellenic Red Cross Mobile Health Unit intervention in Nea Malakasa temporary accommodation center.

Introduction: Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic the scientific community had expressed its concerns about increased transmission of the virus within asylum seeker accommodation centers due to substandard living conditions and poor sanitation. Studies regarding management of Covid-19 cases in such facilities are urgently needed in order to guide international strategies on future pandemics within the humanitarian setting. Our study's paradigm of Covid-19 case management in a Greek migrant camp aims to add on existing data.

Eversion Carotid Endarterectomy: Cardiac Troponin Assessment.

Myocardial infarction (MI) is an eversion carotid endarterectomy (eCEA) complication, but most events are unknown, and true incidence and correlation remain controversial. Routine cardiac troponin measurement is a commonly used method for assessing early identification and treatment of MI and stratifying high-risk patients. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of troponin elevation levels following eCEA and to investigate a possible correlation between adverse cardiovascular events and the incidence of postoperative myocardial infarction following emergent vascular surgery.

The Effects of Patients' and Caregivers' Characteristics on the Burden of Families Caring for Stroke Survivors.

Background: Vascular strokes are the leading cause of long-term disability for adults. They impose high levels of burden on the patient, the family, and national healthcare systems worldwide. This study aimed to assess the effects of patients' and caregivers' characteristics on the perceptions of burden in families caring for a loved one living with stroke in Greece.

Does group-based high-intensity aerobic interval training improve the inflammatory status in patients with chronic heart failure?

Background: Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a multifaceted syndrome associated with endothelial dysfunction and increased inflammation. Despite the existing controversies regarding the appropriate training modality, it is widely accepted that supervised cardiac rehabilitation (CR) interventions lead to proinflammatory biomarkers reduction and cellular adhesion molecules in patients with CHF.

Aim: The aim of the study was to quantify the effects of 12-week group-based high-intensity aerobic interval training (HIAIT)/modified group-based HIAIT intervention (m-Ullevaal) vs.
