Factors associated with the development of superficial vein thrombosis in patients with varicose veins
Karathanos, C.; Exarchou, M.; Tsezou, A.; Kyriakou, D.; Wittens, C.; Giannoukas, A. (2013)Introduction: Superficial vein thrombosis (SVT) is a common and controversial clinical entity. Recent studies have demonstrated that SVT should be seen as a venous thromboembolism (VTE). The objective of this study was to ... -
Immunological mimic features of visceral leishmaniasis may systemic lupus erythematosus
Sakkas, L. I.; Boulbou, M.; Kyriakou, D.; Makri, I.; Sinani, C.; Germenis, A.; Stathakis, N. (2008)Objective: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL), caused by the intracellular parasite Leishmania, can present with fever, splenomegaly, pancytopenias, hypergammaglobulinemia, and autoantibody production. These features may mimic ... -
Neuroblastoma cells negative for CD44 possess tumor-initiating properties
Siapati, E. K.; Rouka, E.; Kyriakou, D.; Vassilopoulos, G. (2011)CD44 has been linked to favorable prognosis in neuroblastoma and in the present study we investigate if it can be used to prospectively isolate neuroblastoma-initiating cells. To define the cancer-initiating properties of ... -
