Apolipoprotein E Polymorphism and Left Ventricular Failure in Beta-Thalassemia: A Multivariate Meta-Analysis
(2017)Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is potentially a genetic risk factor for the development of left ventricular failure (LVF), the main cause of death in beta-thalassemia homozygotes. In the present study, we synthesize the results ... -
Apolipoprotein E4 and meningeal lymphatics in Alzheimer disease: a conceptual framework
(2021)The potential existence and roles of the meningeal lymphatic system in normal and pathological brain function have been a long-standing enigma. Recent evidence suggests that meningeal lymphatic vessels are present in both ... -
Apolipoprotein ϵ4 allele is associated with frailty syndrome: Results from the hellenic longitudinal investigation of ageing and diet study
(2019)Apolipoprotein (APOE) ϵ4 allele has been associated with a number of age-related diseases but previous studies failed to identify any link with Frailty syndrome. The aim of the present study is to investigate the association ... -
Are municipal solid waste collectors at increased risk of Hepatitis A Virus infection? A Greek cross-sectional study
(2016)Municipal solid waste collectors are reportedly at risk for Hepatitis A virus infection (HAV) as an occupational hazard. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and possible risk factors of HAV infection among solid waste ... -
Are stray dogs confined in animal shelters at increased risk of seropositivity to Leishmania infantum? A case control study
(2018)The aim of this study was to compare the risk of seropositivity between stray dogs and privately-owned dogs living in the same endemic area. Sixty-seven stray (group A) and 115 privately-owned (group B) dogs were enrolled. ... -
Aspirin Versus Clopidogrel for Type 2 Diabetic Patients with First-Ever Noncardioembolic Acute Ischemic Stroke: Ten-Year Survival Data from the Athens Stroke Outcome Project

Assessing hostility in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
(2019)COPD is a disease that can adversely affect patients’ psychology. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether COPD patients feel increased hostility, and if hostility is associated with socio-economic factors. A ... -
Association between TLR2/TLR4 gene polymorphisms and COPD phenotype in a Greek cohort [Assoziation zwischen TLR2-/TLR4-Gen-Polymorphismen und COPD-Phänotyp]
(2017)Background: Considering that the innate immune system plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), we hypothesized that functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of ... -
Association between white matter lesions and Parkinson’s disease: an impact on Postural/Gait difficulty phenotype and cognitive performance
(2022)Background: White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) may be observed on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in patients with Parkinson disease with or without vascular risk factors. Whether WMHs may influence motor and non-motor ... -
Association of maternal Toll-like receptor-4 alleles with susceptibility to early-onset preeclampsia in central Greece
(2019)Introduction: Altered maternal inflammatory responses may play a role in the development of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy like preeclampsia, its more severe early-onset form and intrauterine growth restriction. We ... -
The association of simple renal cysts with abdominal aortic aneurysms and their impact on renal function after endovascular aneurysm repair
(2016)We validated the association of simple renal cysts with abdominal aortic aneurysm and other cardiovascular factors and assessed simple renal cysts’ impact on renal function before and after endovascular abdominal aortic ... -
