Amplification of Echoviruses genomic regions by different RT-PCR protocols - a comparative study
(2004)In the present report, the results of a comparative study in the detection of all Echoviruses reference strains as well as of 38 clinical isolates are presented. Using RT-PCR with already published primer pairs (UG(52)-UC53, ... -
Aseptic meningoencephalitis mimicking transient ischaemic attacks
(2013)Purpose To highlight meningoencephalitis as a transient ischaemic attack (TIA) mimic and suggest clinical clues for differential diagnosis. Methods This was an observational study of consecutively admitted patients over a ... -
Atypical presentation of varicella.-zoster virus encephalitis in an immunocompetent adult
(2008)BACKGROUND: Varicella-zoster virus encephalitis is uncommon, but not rare, in immunocompetent adults. Typically, patients develop stroke with hemiplegia caused by large vessel vasculopathy days to weeks after herpes zoster ... -
Bundle of Measures for External Cerebral Ventricular Drainage-Associated Ventriculitis
(2014)Objective: To assess the prevalence and outcome of external cerebral ventricular drainage-associated ventriculitis in neurocritical patients before and after the implementation of a bundle of external cerebral ventricular ... -
A comparative amplification of five different genomic regions on Coxsackie A and B viruses. Implications in clinical diagnostics
(2005)Modern molecular approaches in Human Enterovirus detection rely on the designing of generic and often degenerate primers in order to amplify specific sequences within the enterovirus genome. In the present study a comparative ... -
Development of a single-tube polymerase chain reaction assay for the simultaneous detection of Haemophilus influenzae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus spp. directly in clinical samples
(2009)This study describes the development and evaluation of a multiplex single-tube polymerase chain reaction assay for the simultaneous detection of Haemophilus influenzae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and ... -
Differential diagnosis of neurological diseases of small ruminants
(2013)Objective of the present review is the description of diagnostic approach in neurological cases in small ruminants. To improve description purposes in the present paper, neurological disorders of small ruminants are ... -
Evaluation of seroneutralization and molecular diagnostic methods for echovirus identification
(2005)In this study we compared the identification results of 41 echovirus clinical isolates using RIVM pools (National Institute for Public Health and the Environment RIVM, Bilthoven, The Netherlands) and reverse transcriptio ... -
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 ... -
Nasal lymphatics as a novel invasion and dissemination route of bacterial meningitis
(2009)Bacterial meningitis constitutes an infectious disease with high morbidity and mortality, characterized by complex pathophysiology. Neisseria meningitis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae type b and other ... -
Nucleotide analysis and phylogenetic study of the homology boundaries of coxsackie A and B viruses
(2005)Modern molecular methods use VP1 coding region as a target for RT-PCR assays followed by sequencing, in order to identify new untyped enteroviruses' strains. In the present study, two different genomic portions of VP1 and ... -
Oxytocin is not important for the control of gonadotrophin secretion in the late follicular phase of the cycle
(2007)Objective To study the role of oxytocin in basal and GnRH-induced gonadotrophin secretion in normal women. Design Normal women were studied in three cycles. When the diameter of the leading follicle was 15-16 mm, the women ... -
Polymorphisms of Cx(3)CR1 and CXCR6 receptors in relation to HAART therapy of HIV type 1 patients
(2007)The chemokine polymorphisms CXCR6-3E/K, In1.1T/C, H7 haplotype, CX(3)CR1-V249I, and CX(3)CR1-T280M have been shown to affect the course of HIV infection. We studied their influence on immunologic and virologic response to ... -
Postmortem Image Analysis of Sheep Cortical Leptomeningeal Space and Vasculature: Theoretical Implications on Brain Surface Dialysis
(2011)The vascular surface distribution of the subarachnoid space has not been studied extensively. The aim of our study was to develop a method of computer-assisted estimation of the distribution of the vascular network in the ...
