Feasibility and safety of radical cystectomy under combined spinal and epidural anesthesia in octogenarian patients with ASA score >= 3: A case series
(2015)Introduction: This study evaluated the feasibility and safety of open radical cystectomy (RC) under combined regional anesthesia (CRA) in high-risk octogenarian patients. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the medical ... -
Femoral head osteonecrosis: Volumetric MRI assessment and outcome
(2007)Effective treatment of femoral head osteonecrosis (FHON) requires early diagnosis and accurate assessment of the disease severity. The ability to predict in the early stages the risk of collapse is important for selecting ... -
Incidence of apoptosis and cell proliferation in multiple myeloma - Correlation with bcl-2 protein expression and serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and soluble IL-6 receptor
(2002)We evaluated the in vivo incidence of apoptosis and cell proliferation in multiple myeloma (MM) and investigated the correlation of both cellular events with histological tumour stage and grade, bcl-2 protein expression, ... -
Integration of High-Volume Molecular and Imaging Data for Composite Biomarker Discovery in the Study of Melanoma
(2014)In this work the effects of simple imputations are studied, regarding the integration of multimodal data originating from different patients. Two separate datasets of cutaneous melanoma are used, an image analysis (dermoscopy) ... -
Investigation of Spatial Variability of Air Temperature, Humidity and Velocity in Cold Stores by Using Management Zone Analysis
(2014)The main objective of this research was to determine spatial variability of ambient temperature, relative humidity and air velocity in a cold storage using management zone analysis methods. Ambient temperature, relative ... -
Large-Scale Analysis of Association Between GDF5 and FRZB Variants and Osteoarthritis of the Hip, Knee, and Hand
(2009)Objective. GDF5 and FRZB have been proposed as genetic loci conferring susceptibility to osteoarthritis (OA); however, the results of several studies investigating the association of OA with the rs143383 polymorphism of ... -
A medical ontology for intelligent web-based skin lesions image retrieval
(2011)Researchers have applied increasing efforts towards providing formal computational frameworks to consolidate the plethora of concepts and relations used in the medical domain. In the domain of skin related diseases, the ... -
Meta-analysis for ranked discovery datasets: Theoretical framework and empirical demonstration for microarrays
(2008)The combination of results from different large-scale datasets of multidimensional biological signals (such as gene expression profiling) presents a major challenge. Methodologies are needed that can efficiently combine ... -
A meta-analysis of European and Asian cohorts reveals a global role of a functional SNP in the 5 ' UTR of GDF5 with osteoarthritis susceptibility
(2008)We have performed a meta-analysis combining data for more than 11 000 individuals. It provides compelling evidence for a positive association between a functional single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the 5'-UTR of GDF5 ... -
Molecular phylogeny of VP1, 2A, and 2B genes of echovirus isolates: epidemiological linkage and observations on genetic variation
(2006)Phylogenetic relationships between 37 echovirus clinical isolates, most of them originating from an aseptic meningitis outbreak during 2001 in Greece, were investigated by RT-PCR and sequencing. The generic primers 292 and ... -
Monitoring urban sprawl using simulated PROBA-V data
(2014)Urbanization proceeds currently at a rapid pace and the impact on natural ecosystems cannot be neglected. Consequently, it is important to be able to monitor the expansion of urban areas. Yet the process of extracting them ... -
Morbidity, Mortality, and Organ Damage in Patients with Antiphospholipid Syndrome
(2012)Objective. To describe morbidity, organ damage, mortality, and cause of death in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Methods. Descriptive analysis of 135 patients. Patients were clustered according to initial ... -
Music retrieval over wireless ad-hoc networks
(2008)Wireless networks introduce new opportunities for music delivery. The trend of using mobile devices on wireless networks can significantly extent the recent change of paradigm in the model of music distribution by allowing ... -
Ovarian function is preserved in women with severe systemic lupus erythematosus after a 6-month course of cyclophosphamide followed by mycophenolate mofetil
(2010)Objective. To evaluate whether a short duration treatment with cyclophosphamide (CYC) followed by mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is associated with preservation of the ovarian function in,female patients with systemic lupus ... -
Overview of Advanced Computer Vision Systems for Skin Lesions Characterization
(2009)During the last years, computer-vision-based diagnosis systems have been used in several hospitals and dermatology clinics, aiming mostly at the early detection of skin cancer, and more specifically, the recognition of ... -
Polyphasic evaluation of Aphanizomenon issatschenkoi and Raphidiopsis mediterranea in a Mediterranean lake
(2010)Aphanizomenon issatschenkoi and Raphidiopsis mediterranea were studied in the Mediterranean Lake Doirani during a cyanobacterial bloom (August-October 2004). Aphanizomenon issatschenkoi was clearly morphologically distinct ... -
