The World Health Organisation called for research assessing the safety of electronic cigarette (e-cigarette). We evaluated the acute effect of active and passive e-cigarette and tobacco cigarette smoking on complete blood ...

Acute effects of second-hand smoke on complete blood count

Dinas, P. C.; Metsios, G. S.; Jamurtas, A. Z.; Tzatzarakis, M. N.; Hayes, A. W.; Koutedakis, Y.; Tsatsakis, A. M.; Flouris, A. D. (2014)

We assessed the acute effects of a 1-h exposure to second-hand smoke (SHS) on complete blood count (CBC) markers in a controlled simulated bar/restaurant environment. Nineteen adult never-smokers completed a 1-h .exposure ...

Adherence to the screening program for HBV infection in pregnant women delivering in Greece

Papaevangelou, V.; Hadjichristodoulou, C.; Cassimos, D.; Theodoridou, M. (2006)

Background: Hepatitis B infection (HBV) is a major Public Health Problem. Perinatal transmission can be prevented with the identification of HBsAg(+) women and administration of immunoprophylaxis to their newborns. A ...

Anti-cardiolipin antibodies in patients with chronic viral hepatitis are independent of beta2-glycoprotein I cofactor or features of antiphospholipid syndrome

Zachou, K.; Liaskos, C.; Christodoulou, D. K.; Kardasi, M.; Papadamou, G.; Gatselis, N.; Georgiadou, S. P.; Tsianos, E. V.; Dalekos, G. N. (2003)

Background Although controversial, some authorities have implicated hepatitis C virus (HCV) as a cause of anti-phospholipid syndrome (APLS). Anti-cardiolipin antibodies (anti-CLAbs) in APLS are cofactor-dependent ('pathogenic' ...

Anti-inflammatory effects of a special carbohydrate-whey protein cake after exhaustive cycling in humans

Kerasioti, E.; Stagos, D.; Jamurtas, A.; Kiskini, A.; Koutedakis, Y.; Goutzourelas, N.; Pournaras, S.; Tsatsakis, A. M.; Kouretas, D. (2013)

Intense exercise induces increased levels of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a special cake (consisting of carbohydrate to whey protein 3.5:1) ...

Assessment of genetic structure of Greek brown hare (Lepus europaeus) populations based on variation in random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)

Mamuris, Z.; Sfougaris, A. I.; Stamatis, C.; Suchentrunk, F. (2002)

The RAPD method was used to assess the genetic differentiation of brown hare (Lepus europaeus) populations from Central Greece. Greek wild populations were compared with samples from Austria, Poland, Germany, France, and ...

Association of an oversized adrenal cortical adenoma with expression of pheochromocytoma-like neurosecretory features

Nomikos, I. N.; Zizi-Serbetzoglou, A.; Matsakis, G.; Elemenoglou, J.; Vamvakopoulos, N. C. (2008)

Abnormal stimulation of adrenal function may be either direct, affecting similarly cortical and medullary secretion, or indirect affecting primarily the medulla. Indirect activation of clinically detectable adrenomedullary ...

Associations between BODE Index and Systemic Inflammatory Biomarkers in COPD

Gaki, E.; Kontogianni, K.; Papaioannou, A. I.; Bakakos, P.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Kostikas, K.; Alchanatis, M.; Papiris, S.; Loukides, S. (2011)

Background: COPD is a multicomponent disease and systemic inflammation represents one of the possible mechanisms responsible for its systemic manifestations, including skeletal muscle weakness and cachexia. Fat-free mass ...

Attempted discrimination of Myzus persicae and Myzus nicotianae (Homoptera : Aphididae) by random amplified polymorphic DNA polymerase chain reaction technique

Margaritopoulos, J. T.; Mamuris, Z.; Tsitsipis, J. A. (1998)

Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was applied to several clones of the Myzus persicae (Sulzer) group from Greece to assess genetic markers that could distinguish the tobacco feeding clones from those feeding ...

Cardiorespiratory and immune response to physical activity following exposure to a typical smoking environment

Flouris, A. D.; Metsios, G. S.; Jamurtas, A. Z.; Koutedakis, Y. (2010)

Objective Millions of non-smokers suffer daily passive smoking (PS) at home or at work, many of whom then have to walk fast for several minutes or climb a few sets of stairs. We conducted a randomised single-blind crossover ...

Clinical, functional and biochemical changes during recovery from COPD exacerbations

Koutsokera, A.; Kiropoulos, T. S.; Nikoulis, D. J.; Daniil, Z. D.; Tsolaki, V.; Tanou, K.; Papaioannou, A. I.; Germenis, A.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Kostikas, K. (2009)
