Isolation of a bacterial consortium able to degrade the fungicide thiabendazole: the key role of a Sphingomonas phylotype
(2017)Thiabendazole (TBZ) is a fungicide used in fruit-packaging plants. Its application leads to the production of wastewaters requiring detoxification. In the absence of efficient treatment methods, biological depuration of ... -
Letter to the editor regarding “Dexamethasone for chronic subdural haematoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis”
(2018)[No abstract available] -
Lexical Diversity in Cypriot-Greek-Speaking Toddlers: A Preliminary Longitudinal Study
(2021)Background/Aims: The number of different words (NDW), an essential measure of lexical diversity, is extremely valuable towards providing data regarding children's language development. However, in Cyprus, practitioners are ... -
Machine learning for rhabdomyosarcoma histopathology
(2022)Correctly diagnosing a rare childhood cancer such as sarcoma can be critical to assigning the correct treatment regimen. With a finite number of pathologists worldwide specializing in pediatric/young adult sarcoma ... -
Maintaining production while reducing local and global environmental emissions in dairy farming
(2020)While milk is a major agricultural commodity, dairy farming also supports a large share of global beef production. In Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies of dairy farming systems, dairy-beef production is often ignored or ... -
Metabolic and evolutionary insights in the transformation of diphenylamine by a Pseudomonas putida strain unravelled by genomic, proteomic, and transcription analysis
(2018)Diphenylamine (DPA) is a common soil and water contaminant. A Pseudomonas putida strain, recently isolated from a wastewater disposal site, was efficient in degrading DPA. Thorough knowledge of the metabolic capacity, ... -
A model of lung surfactant dynamics based on intrinsic interfacial compressibility
(2021)A minimum model for the description of lung surfactant dynamics during consecutive compression/relaxation cycles is proposed. The model is based on Frumkin/Langmuir equilibrium and on an equation of state that includes ... -
Molecular detection of Rickettsia felis in common fleas in Greece and comparative evaluation of genotypic methods
(2021)Introduction: Rickettsia felis is the causative agent of flea-borne spotted fever (FBSF), an emerging zoonosis. Although there is evidence of FBSF in Greece, fleas, the classic vectors of R. felis, have not been adequately ... -
Mutations conferring colistin resistance development in Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates
(2013)The colistin resistance mechanisms in Acinetobacter baumannii are largely unknown. In the present study, we investigated the characteristics and the mechanisms of colistin resistance in two genetically indistinguishable ... -
Normal menstrual cycle steroid hormones variation does not affect the blood levels of total adiponectin and its multimer forms
(2015)Objective Plasma total adiponectin reveals a sexual dimorphism indicating that gonadal steroids may be involved in its secretion and/or metabolism. However, results from previous reports are conflicting and data regarding ... -
Novel HIF-2α interaction with Reptin52 impairs HIF-2 transcriptional activity and EPO secretion
(2021)Hypoxia-inducible factor 2 (HIF-2), is essential for cellular response to hypoxia and holds an important role in erythropoiesis, angiogenesis, tissue invasion and metastasis, thus, constituting an important therapeutic ... -
Parallel simulations for QUAntifying RElaxation magnetic resonance constants (SQUAREMR): An example towards accurate MOLLI T1 measurements
(2015)Background: T1 mapping is widely used today in CMR, however, it underestimates true T1 values and its measurement error is influenced by several acquisition parameters. The purpose of this study was the extraction of ... -
Patients with haemoglobinopathies and chronic hepatitis C: A real difficult to treat population in 2016?
(2017)Background & objectives: In the past, patients with haemoglobinopathies were at high risk of acquiring hepatitis C virus (HCV) due to multiple transfusions before HCV screening. In these patients, the coexistence of ... -
Perceived Symptoms, Mental Health and Quality of Life after Hospitalization in COVID-19 Patients
(2022)Patients recovering from novel coronavirus are reporting a variety of symptoms such as cough, dyspnea, myalgia as well as psychological distress and poor quality of life. The aim of this study is to assess quality of life ... -
Poly(A)-specific ribonuclease and Nocturnin in squamous cell lung cancer: Prognostic value and impact on gene expression
(2015)Background: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide, mainly due to late diagnosis, poor prognosis and tumor heterogeneity. Thus, the need for biomarkers that will aid classification, treatment and ... -
Procedural recommendations of cardiac PET/ CT imaging: standardization in inflammatory-, infective-, infiltrative-, and innervation- (4Is) related cardiovascular diseases: a joint collaboration of the EACVI and the EANM: summary
(2021)With this summarized document we share the standard for positron emission tomography (PET)/(diagnostic)computed tomography (CT) imaging procedures in cardiovascular diseases that are inflammatory, infective, infiltrative, ... -
