Buprenorphine and Methadone as Opioid Maintenance Treatments for Heroin-Addicted Patients Induce Oxidative Stress in Blood
(2019)Buprenorphine and methadone are two substances widely used in the substitution treatment of patients who are addicted to opioids. Although it is known that they partly act efficiently towards this direction, there is no ... -
Cardiovascular risk factors in HIV infected individuals: Comparison with general adult control population in Greece
(2020)Background Although combined antiretroviral therapy has substantially improved the prognosis of people living with HIV (PLHIV), mortality remains higher compared to the general population, mainly due to higher prevalence ... -
A case-control study on the risk factors for meningococcal disease among children in Greece
(2016)Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify environmental or genetic risk factors that are associated with invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) in children in Greece. Methods: A case-control study was performed in 133 ... -
Causes and Risk Factors of Cerebral Ischemic Events in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Treated with Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants for Stroke Prevention: The RENo Study
(2019)Background and Purpose-Despite treatment with oral anticoagulants, patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) may experience ischemic cerebrovascular events. The aims of this case-control study in patients with AF ... -
CD33 rs3865444 as a risk factor for Parkinson's disease
(2021)Background: Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's diseases (PD) share a few elements of their clinical, pathological and genetic backgrounds. The CD33 rs3865444 has emerged as a strong genetic locus associated with AD through ... -
Circulating biomarkers for the prediction of abdominal aortic aneurysm growth
(2021)Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysm represents a distinct group of vascular lesions, in terms of surveillance and treatment. Screening and follow-up of patients via duplex ultrasound has been well established and proposed ... -
The clinical significance of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae rectal colonization in critically ill patients: From colonization to bloodstream infection
(2019)Purpose. To highlight the clinical significance of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) rectal colonization by examining the risk factors for CRKP rectal colonization and subsequent bloodstream infection (BSI) ... -
Clinical Significance of Circulating Osteopontin Levels in Patients With Lung Cancer and Correlation With VEGF and MMP-9
(2016)Osteopontin (OPN) is a multifunctional cytokine involved in carcinogenesis. Serum levels of OPN, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) were measured by ELISA in 90 lung cancer ... -
Common variants in Alzheimer’s disease and risk stratification by polygenic risk scores
(2021)Genetic discoveries of Alzheimer’s disease are the drivers of our understanding, and together with polygenetic risk stratification can contribute towards planning of feasible and efficient preventive and curative clinical ... -
COMP serum levels: A new non-invasive biomarker of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic viral hepatitis
(2017)Background & aims Recently we have shown that cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), a fibrillar collagen assembly regulator, is strongly associated with cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma progression. Therefore, ... -
Comparable or higher prevalence of comorbidities in antiphospholipid syndrome vs rheumatoid arthritis: A multicenter, case-control study
(2021)Objectives: Evidence on comorbidity prevalence in antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and its difference from high comorbidity burden rheumatic diseases is limited. Herein, we compare multiple comorbidities between APS and RA. ... -
A comparative analysis of ambulatory BP profile and arterial stiffness between CAPD and APD
(2022)Prior studies have associated automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) with less effective volume and blood pressure (BP) control as compared with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Our study aimed to compare the ... -
Comparison of targeted and untargeted approaches in breath analysis for the discrimination of lung cancer from benign pulmonary diseases and healthy persons
(2021)The aim of the present study was to compare the efficiency of targeted and untargeted breath analysis in the discrimination of lung cancer (Ca+) patients from healthy people (HC) and patients with benign pulmonary diseases ... -
A comprehensive analysis of antigen-specific antibody responses against human cytomegalovirus in patients with systemic sclerosis
(2019)Anti-human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) antibodies are considered triggers of systemic sclerosis (SSc), but such a hypothesis has been assessed in limited sub-dominant epitopes. Our aim was to systematically assess the potential ... -
The contribution of genetic variants of SLC2A1 gene in t2dm and T2DM-nephropathy: Association study and meta-analysis
(2018)An association study was conducted to investigate the relation between 14 variants of glucose transporter 1 gene (SLC2A1) and the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) leading to nephropathy. We also performed a meta-analysis of ... -
Convergence of linkage, gene expression and association data demonstrates the influence of the RAR-related orphan receptor alpha (RORA) gene on neovascular AMD: A systems biology based approach
(2010)To identify novel genes and pathways associated with AMD, we performed microarray gene expression and linkage analysis which implicated the candidate gene, retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor alpha (RORA, 15q). ... -
Corifollitropin alfa compared with follitropin beta in GnRH-antagonist ovarian stimulation protocols in an unselected population undergoing IVF/ICSI
(2017)Recombinant DNA technologies have produced Corifollitropin alfa (CFa) used during IVF/ICSI in order to keep the circulating FSH levels above the threshold necessary to support multi-follicular growth for a week. In this ... -
