Pollution Indicators and HAB-Associated Halophilic Bacteria Alongside Harmful Cyanobacteria in the Largest Mussel Cultivation Area in Greece
(2022)Taking into consideration the essential contribution of Mytilus galloprovincialis farming, it is of rising importance to add knowledge regarding bacterial species occurrence in water samples from aquaculture zones from the ... -
Real-world safety and efficacy data of immunotherapy in patients with cancer and autoimmune disease: the experience of the Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group
(2022)Background: Data on the safety and efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in patients with concurrent autoimmune diseases (AID) are limited. Methods: We performed a retrospective multicenter review of medical records ... -
Release of toxic elements in fishpond sediments under dynamic redox conditions: Assessing the potential environmental risk for a safe management of fisheries systems and degraded waterlogged sediments
(2020)Waterlogged soils and sediments contaminated with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) constitute a complicated case of degraded areas; their management requires understanding of the dynamic redox-driven PTE mobilization. ... -
Removal of Chromium from Soils Cultivated with Maize (Zea Mays) After the Addition of Natural Minerals as Soil Amendments
(2017)The efficiency of natural minerals, i.e. zeolite, bentonite and goethite, regarding the retention of chromium, from maize was examined. Specifically, 1.0 kg of soil, 1.0 g of soil amendment and either 50 mg L−1 Cr(III) or ... -
The response of soil and phyllosphere microbial communities to repeated application of the fungicide iprodione: Accelerated biodegradation or toxicity?
(2020)Pesticides interact with microorganisms in various ways with the outcome being negative or positive for the soil microbiota. Pesticides' effects on soil microorganisms have been studied extensively in soil but not in other ... -
Roasted and green coffee extracts show antioxidant and cytotoxic activity in myoblast and endothelial cell lines in a cell specific manner
(2018)Coffee is one of the most highly consumed beverages with potential beneficial health implications, however its molecular mechanism of action has not been completely elucidated yet. To that cause, the polyphenolic composition ... -
Second-Generation Escherichia coli SuptoxR Strains for High-Level Recombinant Membrane Protein Production
(2022)Escherichia coli is one of the most widely utilized hosts for recombinant protein production, including that of membrane proteins (MPs). We have recently engineered a specialized E. coli strain for enhanced recombinant MP ... -
Silver Toxicity Thresholds for Multiple Soil Microbial Biomarkers
(2018)Material flow analysis shows that soil is a key repository for silver (Ag) from (nano)silver-functionalized consumer products, but the potential effects of Ag toxicity, via Ag+ release, on soil microbial communities and ... -
Six months exposure to a real life mixture of 13 chemicals' below individual NOAELs induced non monotonic sex-dependent biochemical and redox status changes in rats
(2018)This study assessed the potential adverse health effects of long-term low-dose exposure to chemical mixtures simulating complex real-life human exposures. Four groups of Sprague Dawley rats were administered mixtures ... -
Soil dynamics of Cr(VI) and responses of Portulaca oleracea L. grown in a Cr(VI)-spiked soil under different nitrogen fertilization regimes
(2022)The reduction potential of the highly toxic Cr(VI) to the inert Cr(III) in an alkaline soil was studied during a 50-day experiment with Portulaca oleracea L. grown in pots. We aimed at assessing whether our test species ... -
Sport nutrition, redox homeostasis and toxicity in sport performance
(2019)The health benefits of exercise are widely accepted and have been used to prevent and treat chronic diseases. Exercise, however, is also associated with production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) which, when ... -
Toxic and hormetic-like effects of three components of citrus essential oils on adult Mediterranean fruit flies (Ceratitis capitata)
(2017)Plant essential oils (EOs) and a wide range of their individual components are involved in a variety of biological interactions with insect pests including stimulatory, deterrent, toxic and even hormetic effects. Both the ... -
Toxic and interactive toxic effects of agrochemical substances and copper on Vibrio fischeri
(2006)The toxic and interactive toxic effects of two agrochemicals (fosthiazate and metalaxyl-M) and copper were investigated in this study on the photobacterium Vibrio fischeri. The toxicities of all tested compounds were ... -
Toxicity of citrus essential oils against Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae) larvae
(2009)Citrus peel essential oils are considered to constitute the most important resistance factor of citrus fruits against fruit flies. Essential oils were obtained from three sweet orange varieties, one bitter orange and one ... -
Toxicity of propylene oxide alone and in combination with low pressure or carbon dioxide against life stages of Ephestia cautella (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) under laboratory conditions
(2017)A series of tests was carried out in the laboratory for comparison of the insecticidal effect of propylene oxide (PPO) alone and in combination with low pressure and/or elevated levels of carbon dioxide against eggs, larvae, ...
