Acceptability of Self-Sampling for Human Papillomavirus-Based Cervical Cancer Screening
(2020)Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV)-DNA testing combined with self-sampling could increase cervical cancer screening effectiveness, utilizing a sensitive screening modality and an easy sampling method with minimal pain ... -
Access of stroke patients' to optimal healthcare technology in Greece: Messages to policy makers
(2020)The aim of this study was to evaluate accessibility of stroke patients to optimal healthcare technology in Greece. Methods: The study population consisted of 313 first ever stroke patients derived from the 'Stroke Units ... -
Accidental acute metabolic acidosis due to inappropriate selection of bicarbonate concentrate
(2005)Haemodialysis using a bicarbonate concentrate (bicarbonate dialysis) is the treatment modality of choice for correction of metabolic acidosis in chronic renal failure. However, improper ratios of acid and bicarbonate ... -
Accuracy and Calibration of Computational Approaches for Inpatient Mortality Predictive Modeling
(2016)Electronic Health Record (EHR) data can be a key resource for decision-making support in clinical practice in the "big data" era. The complete database from early 2012 to late 2015 involving hospital admissions to Inselspital ... -
Accuracy of a Newly-Introduced Oscillometric Device for the Estimation of Arterial Stiffness Indices in Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis: A Preliminary Validation Study
(2018)The aim of the present study was to compare the aortic systolic blood pressure (aSBP), heart-rate-adjusted augmentation index (AIx75), and pulse wave velocity (PWV) obtained using the Mobil-O-Graph (IEM, Stolberg, Germany) ... -
Accuracy of the sleep clinical record for the diagnosis of pediatric moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
(2022)Purpose: The sleep clinical record (SCR) has been used to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in children when access to polysomnography (PSG) is limited. Our aim was to determine the best SCR score that could ... -
ACOS syndrome: Single disease entity or not? Could exhaled nitric oxide be a useful biomarker for the differentiation of ACOS, asthma and COPD?
(2016)Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) represent two major public health problems. However, there is a significant proportion of patients with a mixed asthma-COPD phenotype. This condition is defined as ... -
Acoustic and Perceived Measurements Certifying Tango as Voice Treatment Method
(2018)Voice disorders are affecting everyday life in many levels, and their prevalence has been studied extensively in certain and general populations. Notably, several factors have a cohesive influence on voice disorders and ... -
Acquisition of optimal TFH cell function is defined by specific molecular, positional, and TCR dynamic signatures
(2021)The development of follicular helper CD4 T (TFH) cells is a dynamic process resulting in a heterogenous pool of TFH subsets. However, the cellular and molecular determinants of this heterogeneity and the possible mechanistic ... -
Acro-osteolysis
(2017)Acro-osteolysis is an osteolysis of the distal phalanges of the hands and feet and can affect the terminal tuft or the shaft of the distal phalanx (transverse or band acro-osteolysis). It is often associated with distal ... -
Actions for prevention and control of health threats related to maritime transport in European Union
(2013)Background: Actions at European Union level for International Health Regulations (IHR) 2005 implementation and maritime transport were focused on two European projects implemented between 2006 and 2011. Method: Situation ... -
Activation of FADD-Dependent neuronal death pathways as a predictor of pathogenicity for LRRK2 mutations
(2016)Background Despite the plethora of sequence variants in LRRK2, only a few clearly segregate with PD. Even within this group of pathogenic mutations, the phenotypic profile can differ widely. Objective We examined multiple ... -
Activation of general control nonderepressible 2 kinase protects human glomerular endothelial cells from harmful high-glucose-induced molecular pathways
(2016)Purpose: Considering the referred beneficial effects of protein restriction on diabetic nephropathy (DN) and the role of renal endothelium in its pathogenesis, we evaluated the effect of general control nonderepressible 2 ... -
Activation of general control nonderepressible-2 kinase ameliorates glucotoxicity in human peritoneal mesothelial cells, preserves their integrity, and prevents mesothelial to mesenchymal transition
(2019)Along with infections, ultrafiltration failure due to the toxicity of glucose-containing peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions is the Achilles’ heel of PD method. Triggered by the protective effect of general control ... -
