  • Aortic pulse wave velocity in renal transplant patients 
    Bahous, Sola Aoun; Stephan, Antoine; Barakat, Wadad; Blacher, Jacques; Asmar, Roland; Safar, Michel E. (2019-02-20)
    In subjects with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis, aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) is increased independently of blood pressure level and mostly is a strong predictor of cardiovascular risk. Few ...
  • Aortic stiffness, kidney disease, and renal transplantation 
    Bahous, Sola Aoun; Blacher, Jacques; Safar, Michel E. (2019-06-07)
    In subjects with chronic kidney disease (CKD), treatment of high systolic blood pressure is a key element in preventing disease progression and the occurrence of cardiovascular (CV) events. This relationship between the ...
  • Aortic stiffness, living donors, and renal transplantation 
    Bahous, Sola Aoun; Stephan, Antoine; Blacher, Jacques; Safar, Michel E. (2019-02-27)
    In subjects with renal disease, reduced renal function and increased arterial stiffness are significantly associated in cross-sectional studies. The relationship is independent of age, blood pressure (BP), and atherosclerosis. ...
  • Arterial stiffness and renal transplantation 
    Bahous, Sola Aoun; Safar, Michel E.; Delahousse, Michel (2019-02-20)
  • Cardiovascular and renal outcome in recipients of kidney grafts from living donors 
    Bahous, Sola Aoun; Stephan, Antoine; Blacher, Jacques; Safar, Michel (2019-06-07)
    Background. Cardiovascular (CV) risk remains high in renal transplant patients despite a clear improvement conferred by transplantation. This risk is attributed mostly to recipient-related risk factors. Donor vascular ...
  • Change in Pulse Wave Velocity and Short‐Term Development of Cardiovascular Events in the Hemodialysis Population 
    Bahous, Sola Aoun; Korjian, Serge; Daaboul, Yazan; El-Ghoul, Balsam; Samad, Salam; Salameh, Pascale; Dahdah, Georges; Hariri, Essa; Mansour, Anthony; Spielman, Kathryn; Blacher, Jacques; Safar, Michel E. (2019-02-20)
    The association between single measurements of carotid‐femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) and cardiovascular (CV) events is driven by late events beyond 12 months of follow‐up. This prospective study compares single ...
  • Clinical relevance of aortic stiffness in end-stage renal disease and diabetes : implication for hypertension management 
    Bahous, Sola Aoun; Yannoutsos, Alexandra; Safar, Michel E.; Blacher, Jacques (2019-02-22)
    Evidence suggests that aortic stiffness may antedate and contribute initially to the development of hypertension and cardiovascular risk (CVR). In treated hypertensive patients, both diabetes and end-stage renal disease ...
  • Country of birth affects blood pressure in the French hypertensive diabetic population 
    Bahous, Sola Aoun; Thomas, Frederique; Pannier, Bruno; Danchin, Nicolas; Safar, Michel E. (2019-02-25)
    In a population of 56,242 individuals living in France, we showed that individuals born in France have significantly different levels of blood pressure (BP) and cardiovascular (CV) risk factors than African and Asian ...
  • Etiology of end-stage renal disease and arterial stiffness among hemodialysis patients 
    El Ghoul, Balsam; Daaboul, Yazan; Korjian, Serge; El Alam, Andrew; Mansour, Anthony; Hariri, Essa; Samad, Salam; Salameh, Pascale; Dahdah, Georges; Blacher, Jacques; Safar, Michel E.; Bahous, Sola Aoun (2019-06-11)
    Background. Prior studies have demonstrated that conventional and emerging CV risk factors are associated with worsening arterial stiffness among end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on hemodialysis. The present ...
  • Ghrelin modulates intracellular signalling pathways that are critical for podocyte survival 
    El Zein, Nabil; Abdallah, Maya S.; Daher, Costantine F.; Mroueh, Mohammad; Stephan, Joseph; Bahous, Sola Aoun; Eid, Assaad; Faour, Wissam H. (2019-06-27)
    Damage to podocytes is a key event in glomerulopathies. While energy dense food can contribute to kidney damage, the role of the orixegenic hormone “ghrelin” in podocyte biology is still unknown. In the present study, we ...
  • Influence of standardized patient body habitus on undergraduate student performance in an Objective Structured Clinical Examination 
    Bahous, Sola Aoun; Faour, Wissam; Asmar, Nadia; Yazbeck-Karam, Vanda; Khairallah, Maya (2015-10-23)
    Purpose: Previous studies have shown that the standardized patient's (SP) gender may affect student performance in an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). The aim of this study is to investigate the influence ...
  • Longitudinal Study of Hypertensive Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus 
    Bahous, Sola Aoun; Safar, Michel E.; Gnakaméné, Jean-Barthélémy; Yannoutsos, Alexandra; Thomas, Frédérique (2019-02-22)
    Despite adequate glycemic and blood pressure control, treated type 2 diabetic hypertensive subjects have a significantly elevated overall/cardiovascular risk. We studied 244 816 normotensive and 99 720 hypertensive subjects ...
  • Medical education in a foreign language and history-taking in the native language in Lebanon – a nationwide survey 
    Abi Raad, Vanda; Asmar, Nadia; Bahous, Sola Aoun; Raad, Kareem; Daaboul, Yazan; Korjian, Serge; Jammal, Mouin (2019-02-22)
    Background With the adoption of the English language in medical education, a gap in clinical communication may develop in countries where the native language is different from the language of medical education. This study ...
  • Renal Function Decline in Recipients and Donors of Kidney Grafts 
    Bahous, Sola Aoun; Khairallah, Maya; Al Danaf, Jad; Halaby, Rim; Korjian, Serge; Daaboul, Yazan; Salameh, Pascale; Stephan, Antoine; Blacher, Jacques; Safar, Michel E. (2019-02-21)
    Background/Aims: Renal function decreases over time as a result of reduction in the number of functioning nephrons with age. In recipients and donors of kidney grafts, renal function decline may be linked differently to ...
  • Sickle cell nephropathy 
    Hariri, Essa; Mansour, Anthony; El Alam, Andrew; Daaboul, Yazan; Korjian, Serge; Bahous, Sola Aoun (2019-06-07)
    Sickle cell nephropathy is a major complication of sickle cell disease. It manifests in different forms, including glomerulopathy, proteinuria, hematuria, and tubular defects, and frequently results in end-stage renal ...
  • Vitamin K2 supplementation and arterial stiffness among renal transplant recipients—a single-arm, single-center clinical trial 
    Kilany, Hala; Karam, Albert; Bahous, Sola Aoun; Mansour, Anthony G.; Hariri, Essa; Daaboul, Yazan; Korjian, Serge; El Alam, Andrew; Protogerou, Athanase D.; Stephan, Antoine (2019-02-22)
