Atlantes: Automated Health Related & COVID-19 Data Management for Use in Predictive Models
(2022)The scientific community, having turned its interest, almost entirely, to the treatment and understanding of COVID-19, is constantly striving to collect and use data from the countless available sources. That data, however, ... -
Citizens' opinions about a digital health insurance record
(2020)An Electronic Health Insurance Record (EHIR) could give all the information needed to the insured citizens, informing them about the history of benefits and the health expenses. The aim of this work is to evaluate a Digital ... -
Comparison of several toxicity tests applied to complex wastewaters and mussel biomarkers in receiving waters
(2005)In this study, the complex wastewaters/effluents discharged to coastal regions of Turkey and Greece were sampled, and various toxicity tests were applied. The bioassays used included the assessment of the luminescence ... -
Cooperative mobile high-speed and personal area networks for the provision of pervasive e-health services
(2011)The present paper studies the performance of a high-speed third-generation (3.5G) networking technology (Enhanced Uplink), in collaboration with well known personal area networks (i.e. Zigbee and Bluetooth) and wireless ... -
A critical prospective analysis of the potential toxicity of trace element regulation limits in soils worldwide: Are they protective concerning health risk assessment? - A review
(2019)Trace elements (TEs) may have toxic effects to plants and humans; thus, countries and organizations impose maximum allowable regulation limits of their concentrations in soils. Usually such limits are placed in different ... -
Dietary habits of Greek primary school children
(2007)The purpose of this study was to assess Greek primary (1st to 6th grade) school children's dietary habits and the factors influencing them. Our results show that children know the value of different foods. The socio-economic ... -
Extreme between-study homogeneity in meta-analyses could offer useful insights
(2006)Objectives: Meta-analyses are routinely evaluated for the presence of large between-study heterogeneity. We examined whether it is also important to probe whether there is extreme between-study homogeneity. Study Design: ... -
Fish welfare in aquaponic systems: Its relation to water quality with an emphasis on feed and faeces-A review
(2017)Aquaponics is the combination of aquaculture (fish) and hydroponic cultivation of plants. This review examines fish welfare in relation to rearing water quality, fish feed and fish waste and faeces to develop a sustainable ... -
Generalized least squares for assessing trends in cumulative meta-analysis with applications in genetic epidemiology
(2009)Objective: Cumulative meta-analysis allows the evaluation of a study's contribution to the combined effect of the preceding research. It accrues evidence, gradually adding studies one at a time and provides updated estimates ... -
Halophytic herbs of the Mediterranean basin: An alternative approach to health
(2018)Wild native species are usually grown under severe and stressful conditions, while a special category includes halophytic species that are tolerant to high salinity levels. Native halophytes are valuable sources of bioactive ... -
Health impacts due to particulate air pollution in Volos City, Greece
(2016)There is great consensus among the scientific community that suspended particulate matter is considered as one of the most harmful pollutants, particularly the inhalable particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less ... -
Health risk assessment of potentially toxic elements in soils along the Central Elbe River, Germany
(2019)Floodplain soils across Central Elbe River (CER), Germany, vary considerably in potentially toxic element (PTE) content. However, there has never been a comprehensive study that links PTE levels with human health risk for ... -
Human health risk via soil ingestion of potentially toxic elements and remediation potential of native plants near an abandoned mine spoil in Ghana
(2021)Integrated studies about potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in sites near gold mining spoils, their contamination and human health risk, as well as remediation potential of native plants are limited. Therefore, our aim was ... -
The impact of migratory separation from parents on the health of adolescents in the Philippines
