Differential diagnosis of behavioral variant and semantic variant of frontotemporal dementia using visual rating scales
(2020)Background: Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) represents the second most frequent early onset of dementia in people younger than 65 years. The main syndromes encompassed by the term FTD are behavioral variant of Frontotemporal ... -
Differential fungicidal activities of amphotericin B and voriconazole against Aspergillus species determined by microbroth methodology
(2007)Antifungal agents may differ in their fungicidal activities against Aspergillus spp. In order to compare the fungicidal activities of voriconazole and amphotericin B against 40 isolates of Aspergillus fumigatus, A. flavus, ... -
Dimerization of the AtoC response regulator and modelling of its binding to DNA
(2010)Bacterial signal transduction systems can be viewed as an entity of multi-sensory and output domains, whereas the functions of response regulators play a pivotal role in the complex network interactions. One crucial property ... -
Does the number of trials affect the reliability of handgrip strength measurement in individuals with intellectual disabilities? [Le nombre d'essais peut-il affecter la fiabilité de la mesure de la force de poigne chez les personnes ayant une déficience intellectuelle ?]
(2020)The main objectives of this study were to examine which testing protocol (one/two/three trials) and method (best/average value) used for determining maximal handgrip strength is more reliable for individuals with intellectual ... -
Dynamic Handgrip Strength Endurance: A Reliable Measurement in Older Women
(2019)Background and Purpose: Dynamic handgrip strength endurance is essential for daily activities that require repetitive gripping movements for a sustained period. At this time, there is no information about the reliability ... -
EANM procedural guidelines for PET/CT quantitative myocardial perfusion imaging
(2021)The use of cardiac PET, and in particular of quantitative myocardial perfusion PET, has been growing during the last years, because scanners are becoming widely available and because several studies have convincingly ... -
Effects of Freezing and Thawing Procedures on Selected Clinical Chemistry Parameters in Plasma
(2020)Introduction: Measurements from frozen sample collections are important key indicators in clinical studies. It is a prime concern of biobanks and laboratories to minimize preanalytical bias and variance through standardization. ... -
End-stage dementia spark of life: Reliability and validity of the “GATOS” questionnaire
(2015)Background: Floor effects are present in most dementia assessment tools as dementia progresses and the in–depth assessment of patients considered more or less on vegetative state is questionable. Objective: To develop a ... -
An enjoyable school-based swimming training programme improves students’ aquaticity
(2020)Aim: The main objectives of this research were to a) examine the test-retest reliability of aquaticity test (study 1), b) investigate the efficacy of ‘swimming lesson’, during the physical education course, in the aquaticity ... -
Estimating the total number of phosphoproteins and phosphorylation sites in eukaryotic proteomes
(2017)Background: Phosphorylation is the most frequent post-translational modification made to proteins and may regulate protein activity as either a molecular digital switch or a rheostat. Despite the cornucopia of high-throughput ... -
External Performance of the HAVOC Score for the Prediction of New Incident Atrial Fibrillation
(2020)Background and Purpose-The HAVOC score (hypertension, age, valvular heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, obesity, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease) was proposed for the prediction of atrial fibrillation ... -
External Validation of the PREMISE Score in the Athens Stroke Registry
(2019)Background: A simple score was proposed recently for Predicting Early Mortality from Ischemic Stroke (PREMISE) derived from the Austrian Stroke Unit Registry. This score could be useful in clinical practice and research. ... -
Heart rate variability during high heat stress: A comparison between young and older adults with and without type 2 diabetes
(2016)We examined whether older individuals with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D) experience differences in heart rate variability (HRV) during a 3-hour exposure to high heat stress compared to young adults. Young (YOUNG; n=22; ... -
Increased monocyte count and red cell distribution width as prognostic biomarkers in patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
(2021)Background: Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) represents a chronic lung disease with unpredictable course. Methods: We aimed to investigate prognostic performance of complete blood count parameters in IPF. Treatment-naïve ... -
Intra- A nd inter-observer reliability of anthropometric measurements and blood pressure in primary schoolchildren and adults: The Feel4Diabetes-study
(2020)Background: Feel4Diabetes was a large-scale, multicenter lifestyle intervention aiming to prevent type 2 diabetes among families from vulnerable population groups in six European countries (Belgium, Bulgaria, Finland, ... -
Machine-Learning-Derived Model for the Stratification of Cardiovascular risk in Patients with Ischemic Stroke
(2021)Background Stratification of cardiovascular risk in patients with ischemic stroke is important as it may inform management strategies. We aimed to develop a machine-learning-derived prognostic model for the prediction of ... -
Magnetic resonance morphometry of the adult normal lumbar intervertebral space
(2018)Purpose: This study aims to: (a) quantify and evaluate normal relationships between neighboring spinal units using MR imaging indices, (b) propose an easy-to-apply-and-reproduce method of estimating the correct amount of ... -
