(2016)Summary In the WHO-EURO region, around 28 million people are currently living with chronic viral hepatitis, and 120 000 people die every year because of it. Lack of awareness and understanding combined with the social ... -
Adjustment mechanisms of Greek regions in export activity during the economic crisis of 2008–2012
(2019)Under the deep and protracted recession that plagues the Greek regions, exports have shown some positive signs of resilience. This paper explores through a spatial econometric analysis of SUR models, first, the changes ... -
Aedes aegypti lines for combined sterile insect technique and incompatible insect technique applications: the importance of host genomic background
(2020)Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae), being the primary vector of pathogenic arboviruses, is a target for the development of novel genetic approaches to complement current conventional vector control strategies such as ... -
Anthropogenic effects on bacterial diversity and function along a river-to-estuary gradient in Northwest Greece revealed by metagenomics
(2016)Studies assessing the effects of anthropogenic inputs on the taxonomic and functional diversity of bacterioplankton communities in lotic ecosystems are limited. Here, we applied 16S rRNA gene amplicon and whole-genome ... -
Anti-C1q autoantibodies are frequently detected in patients with systemic sclerosis associated with pulmonary fibrosis
(2019)Background: Anti-C1q autoantibodies (autoAbs) are associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but their presence in other rheumatic diseases has not been adequately investigated. Objectives: We aimed to assess ... -
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 ... -
Assessment of donkey milk chemical, microbiological and sensory attributes in Greece and Cyprus
(2016)This study aimed to assess the nutritional, hygienic and sensory characteristics of donkey milk produced in Greece and Cyprus. The average values for pH, fat, protein and lactose were 7.14, 0.52 g/100 mL, 1.22 g/100 mL and ... -
Association between Helicobacter pylori infection and Guillain-Barré Syndrome: A meta-analysis
(2020)Background: Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) is a Gram-negative bacterium, considered to trigger autoimmune gastrointestinal disorders. This pathogen has also been linked to the autoimmune sequelae in extra-gastrointestinal ... -
Association of IL-10 gene promoter polymorphisms with food allergy susceptibility and serum IL-10 level in a pediatric Caucasian population
(2021)Background: Interleukin 10 has been shown to play a critical role in the regulation of the immune responses in allergic diseases. Aim: To investigate if genetic polymorphisms in the promoter region of the IL-10 gene are ... -
ASTRAL, DRAGON and SEDAN scores predict stroke outcome more accurately than physicians
(2016)Background and purpose: ASTRAL, SEDAN and DRAGON scores are three well-validated scores for stroke outcome prediction. Whether these scores predict stroke outcome more accurately compared with physicians interested in ... -
The autoimmunity–oral microbiome connection
(2017)To date, there is a major effort in deciphering the role of complex microbial communities, especially the oral and gut microbiomes, in the pathogenesis of various diseases. Increasing evidence indicates a key role for the ... -
The benthic environmental footprint of aquaculture in the Eastern Mediterranean: Organic vs conventional fish farming
(2020)A field experiment was carried out in a fish farm of the Eastern Mediterranean in order to evaluate the benthic environmental footprint of the organic versus the conventional fish farming. The highest values of chl α were ... -
Biogeography and temporal progression during the evolution of striped dolphin population structure in European waters
(2017)Aim: We investigated the population genetic structure of a highly mobile marine species, the striped dolphin, Stenella coeruleoalba (Meyen, 1833), along a geographical range with habitat transitions and historical dynamics ... -
Biogeography of body size in terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Oniscidea)
(2016)This study tries to unveil the contribution of climatic shift in shaping the extreme body size diversity in terrestrial isopods (Oniscidea). Trying to explain size variation at an interspecific level, we test five hypotheses: ... -
Black holes and high levels of neurofilaments in glial fibrillary acidic protein – astrocytopathy: a case report
(2020)Background and purpose: Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is an intracellular protein of the astrocytic cytoskeleton. Recently, autoantibodies to GFAP detected by cell-based assay in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or serum ... -
Blame, responsibility and systemic neutrality: a discourse analysis methodology to the study of family therapy problem talk
(2016)In this article we present discourse analysis of initial systemic family therapy sessions, focusing on family members' responses to therapists' attempts to introduce a systemically neutral, relational perspective on their ... -
Broad-front migration leads to strong migratory connectivity in the lesser kestrel (Falco naumanni)
(2019)Aim: Migratory animals regularly move between often distant breeding and non-breeding ranges. Knowledge about how these ranges are linked by movements of individuals from different populations is crucial for unravelling ... -
