Carotid artery plaque echomorphology and its association with histopathologic characteristics
(2018)Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the association of ultrasonic texture features (severity of stenosis, grey scale median, plaque area, juxtaluminal black area [JBA], and discrete white areas) previously ... -
CD8+T lymphocytes in bronchoalveolar lavage in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
(2007)Background. Recently it was shown that in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) tissue infiltrating CD8+ T lymphocytes (TLs) are associated with breathlessness and physiological indices of disease severity, as well as that ... -
Comparison of the Efficacy of Intramammary or Injectable Antibiotic Administration against Staphylococcal Mastitis in Ewes
(2022)The objectives of the work were (a) to compare the efficacy of two routes for antibiotic administration in the treatment of mastitis in ewes and (b) to assess the potential importance of the timing of the initiation of the ... -
Correlation of pleural effusions' grayscale sonographic parameters with fluid's analysis results
(2017)Background: Quantitative sonographic methods are used to assess pleural fluid's volume but no validated method exists for the measurement of the fluids' density and other qualitative values. We suggest a quantitative method, ... -
Could IFN-γ predict the development of residual pleural thickening in tuberculous pleurisy?
(2008)Could IFN-γ predict the development of residual pleural thickening tuberculous pleurisy? I. Gerogianni, M. Papala, P. Tsopa, P. Zigoulis, A. Dimoulis, K. Kostikas, T. Kiropoulos, KI Gourgoulianis. Background. The aim of ... -
Denominator changes may obscure results from single-well assays: β3-adrenoceptor ligand-induced changes of cell number as example
(2017)[No abstract available] -
Differences in sheep and goats milk microbiological profile between conventional and organic farming systems in Greece
(2017)The aim of this study was to examine differences in the microbiological profile and antimicrobial resistance of bacteria isolated from milk from organic and conventional sheep and goat farms. Twenty-five organic and 25 ... -
Evaluation of airway inflammation in mechanically ventilated patients using cell count and protein concentration
(2021)Mechanically ventilated (MV) patients may present airway inflammation and elevated secretion production. However, it is unknown whether cell and/or protein counts in bronchial samples may be useful to evaluate their clinical ... -
Extensive countrywide field investigation of somatic cell counts and total bacterial counts in bulk tank raw milk in goat herds in Greece
(2021)Dairy goat farming is an important sector of the agricultural industry in Greece, with an annual total milk production exceeding 450 000 l and accounting for over 25% of all goat milk produced in the European Union; this ... -
Histograms of Complete Blood Counts in Dogs: Maximizing Diagnostic Information
(2018)Histograms, which are an integral part of the automated complete blood count, are now available through most of the automatic hematology analyzers used in veterinary clinical practice. Data concerning the size and number ... -
Insulin causes a transient induction of proliferation via activation of the PI3-kinase pathway in airway smooth muscle cells
(2007)Insulin regulates glucose metabolism and activates cell growth. As the respiratory system is an alternative route for insulin administration in patients with diabetes mellitus, we studied the effect of insulin on rabbit ... -
The laboratory diagnostic approach to thoracic and abdominal effusions in the dog, cat, and horse
(2019)Cases involving pleural and peritoneal effusions occur relatively frequently in clinical practice. Determining the underlying etiology in these cases relies mainly on fluid analysis. The technique used for obtaining the ... -
Mild versus conventional ovarian stimulation for poor responders undergoing IVF/ICSI
(2017)Background/Aim: Mild stimulation protocols have been implemented to be offered to subfertile patients who respond poorly to ovarian stimulation. We aimed to compare the efficacy of mild versus conventional gonadotropin-releasing ... -
The muscarinic antagonist gallamine induces proliferation of airway smooth muscle cells regardless of the cell phenotype
(2019)Background: Muscarinic receptor antagonists are a usual treatment for chronic airway diseases, with increased bronchoconstriction, like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. These diseases are usually accompanied ... -
Presence of cathelicidin-1 in milk as an indicator of the severity of mammary infection in ewes
(2021)Aims: The importance of cathelicidin-1 as an indicator of the severity of mammary infection in ewes. Background. Mastitis is an important disease of sheep, affecting their health and welfare. Objective: The association of ... -
Sestrin-2 is significantly increased in malignant pleural effusions due to lung cancer and is potentially secreted by pleural mesothelial cells
(2016)Objectives: Sestrin-2 (Sesn2) belongs to a family of highly conserved antioxidant proteins that were discovered as p53-inducible proteins and inhibits cell growth and proliferation. Our aim was to assess the levels of Sesn2 ... -
Sutureless clear corneal ultrasonic fragmentation for retained lens fragments a pilot study
(2017)Purpose: To describe the safety and efficacy of removing posteriorly dislocated lens fragments with the use of intravitreal ultrasonic fragmentation through a limbal, clear cornea self-sealing incision. Methods: Patients ... -
Type of smear may influence thrombopoietic cell counts in the bone marrow of clinically healthy dogs
(2005)Background: The expected number of thrombopoietic cells in normal canine bone marrow is poorly defined and there is no consensus on the most appropriate way to prepare cytologic smears to evaluate these cells nor on the ... -
The Use of a Novel Quantitative Marker of Echogenicity of Pleural Fluid in Parapneumonic Pleural Effusions
(2020)Background. Thoracic ultrasound is an essential tool in the daily clinical care of pleural effusions and especially parapneumonic pleural effusions (PPEs), in terms of diagnosis, management, and follow-up. Hypoechogenicity ... -
