Association between brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in 2 nd trimester amniotic fluid and fetal development
(2018)The development of the fetal nervous system mirrors general fetal development, comprising a combination of genetic resources and effects of the intrauterine environment. Our aim was to assess the 2 nd trimester amniotic ... -
The association between retinopathy of prematurity and ocular growth
(2019)PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to prospectively investigate the association between retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and ocular growth in premature infants during the earliest weeks of life. METHODS. Premature ... -
Changepoint analysis of gestational age and birth weight: proposing a refinement of Diagnosis Related Groups
(2020)Background: Although the complexity and length of treatment is connected to the newborn’s maturity and birth weight, most case-mix grouping schemes classify newborns by birth weight alone. The objective of this study was ... -
The economic burden of treating neonates in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) in Greece
(2007)Background: In a period when a public-private mix in Greece is under consideration and hospital budgets become restrained, economic assessment is important for rational decision making. The study aimed to estimate the ... -
The Effect of Physical Exercise on Oxidation Capacity and Utero-Placental Circulation in Pregnancies with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Uncomplicated Pregnancies, a Pilot Study
(2022)Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with aggravated oxidation capacity and utero-placental circulation, while aerobic exercise could improve both. The study aims to assess oxidation capacity and ... -
Erythema Multiforme Associated with Respiratory Disease in a Commercial Breeding Pig Herd
(2015)This study describes an erythema multiforme (EM) in breeding sows, after their mixing in the group housing system. Sows at 30-35 days of gestation showed red and raised skin areas, depression, anorexia, fever, respiratory ... -
Fetomaternal alloimmunity as a cause of liver disease
(2011)Fetomaternal alloimmune disease has traditionally been associated with haematological disease such as fetomaternal alloimmune thrombocytopaenia and Rh haemolytic anaemia, but is now known to also be organ specific. Alloimmune ... -
Heterologous Challenge with PRRSV-1 MLV in Pregnant Vaccinated Gilts: Potential Risk on Health and Immunity of Piglets
(2022)The objective of the present study was to evaluate the potential risks of the four commercial PRRS-1 MLV vaccines in pregnant vaccinated gilts at the last stage of gestation under field conditions. The study was conducted ... -
Insights into intrauterine growth restriction based on maternal and umbilical cord blood metabolomics
(2021)Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a fetal adverse condition, ascribed by limited oxygen and nutrient supply from the mother to the fetus. Management of IUGR is an ongoing challenge because of its connection with ... -
Maternal serum pregnancy-associated plasma protein - A concentration at 11-14 weeks of gestation of women with common congenital anatomic uterine abnormalities
(2021)Objectives: To evaluate maternal serum pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) levels at 11-14 weeks of gestation in women with common congenital anatomic uterine abnormalities (AUAs). Methods: First trimester ... -
Myomectomy during pregnancy: A systematic review

(2021)Purpose: To assess optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) parameters in children born preterm who developed spontaneously regressed retinopathy of prematurity (sr-ROP, group 1), or had no ROP (PreT, group 2), ... -
Reducing duration of antibiotic use for presumed neonatal early-onset sepsis in greek nicus. A “low-hanging fruit” approach
(2021)Antibiotics are commonly prescribed in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU), where stewardship interventions are challenging. Lowering antibiotic consumption is desperately needed in Greece, a country with high antibiotic ... -
