(2017)Medical records of six dogs admitted with acute hypoadrenocorticism were reviewed. All 6 animals were bradycardic and had prolonged capillary refilling time. Hypothermia was detected in 5/6 animals. Clinicopathological ... -
Apremilast increases IL-10-producing regulatory B cells and decreases proinflammatory T cells and innate cells in psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis
(2019)Objectives: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and psoriasis are immune-mediated inflammatory diseases sharing common immunological mechanisms. Regulatory B cells (Breg cells) producing IL-10 (B10 cells), a critical anti-inflammatory ... -
Are stray dogs confined in animal shelters at increased risk of seropositivity to Leishmania infantum? A case control study
(2018)The aim of this study was to compare the risk of seropositivity between stray dogs and privately-owned dogs living in the same endemic area. Sixty-seven stray (group A) and 115 privately-owned (group B) dogs were enrolled. ... -
Blood cell count and morphology, and vitamin B12 concentration in pre- and post-weaned calves
(2021)Haematological indicators may resent physiological variation by age. Vitamin B12 promotes haematopoiesis. The aims of this study were: 1) to compare the values of the haematological variables and the concentration of vitamin ... -
Breg Cells Are Numerically Decreased and Functionally Impaired in Patients with Systemic Sclerosis
(2016)Objective Breg cells, a regulatory cell subset that produces interleukin-10 (IL-10), play a significant role in suppressing autoimmune responses and preventing autoimmunity. This study was undertaken to examine the number ... -

Clinical, ultrasonographic, bacteriological, cytological and histopathological findings of uterine involution in ewes with uterine infection
(2020)The objectives of the study were (a) to study the characteristics of uterine involution in ewes that had developed subclinical uterine infection in the immediately post-partum period and (b) to evaluate effects of the ... -
Hematological features in sheep with igg and igm antibodies against borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato
(2021)Exposure of sheep to Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.I.) complex, the causative agent of Lyme borreliosis (LB), has been reported in tick-abundant areas worldwide, while no data have been reported in Greece. The aim of ... -
The impact of pneumatic tube system on routine laboratory parameters: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(2017)Pneumatic tube system (PTS) is a widely used method of transporting blood samples in hospitals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the PTS transport in certain routine laboratory parameters as it has been ... -
Incidence and Risk Factors for Blood Stream Infection in Mechanically Ventilated COVID-19 Patients
(2022)It is widely known that blood stream infections (BSIs) in critically ill patients may affect mortality, length of stay, or the duration of mechanical ventilation. There is scarce data regarding blood stream infections in ... -
Initial Immune Response in Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans Bacteremia
(2020)Sepsis remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide and is characterized by sustained inflammatory responses, reflected as changes in the expression profile of cytokines with time. The aim of the present study was to ... -
Lessons from pathophysiology: Use of individualized combination treatments with immune interventional agents to tackle severe respiratory failure in patients with COVID-19
(2021)Aims Infection by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) may lead to the development of severe respiratory failure. In hospitalized-patients, prompt interruption of the virus-driven inflammatory process ... -
Pleural Effusion IL-33/sST2 Levels and Effects of Low and High IL-33/sST2 Levels on Human Mesothelial Cell Adhesion and Migration
(2019)Interleukin 33 (IL-33) is an alarmin with multiple roles in immunity and cell homeostasis, highly expressed in barrier sites, acting via the suppression of tumorigenicity 2 receptor (ST2). Production of IL-33 and soluble ... -
Predictors of SARS-CoV-2 IgG Spike Antibody Responses on Admission and Clinical Outcomes of COVID-19 Disease in Fully Vaccinated Inpatients: The CoVax Study
(2022)Background: SARS-CoV-2 vaccines have shown high efficacy in protecting against COVID-19, although the determinants of vaccine effectiveness and breakthrough rates are yet to be determined. We aimed at investigating several ... -
Quantitative and Morphological Blood Cell Findings Associated with the Presence of Antigen and/or Antibodies against Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Sheep
(2021)Anaplasma phagocytophilum is the causative agent of a disease known as tick borne fever in sheep, although fever is not always present. Due to inconclusive clinical signs, diagnosis is based on the cytological or molecular ... -
Simulating real-life exposures to uncover possible risks to human health: A proposed consensus for a novel methodological approach
(2017)In real life, consumers are exposed to complex mixtures of chemicals via food, water and commercial products consumption. Since risk assessment usually focuses on individual compounds, the current regulatory approach doesn't ... -
Tc2 response at the onset of COPD exacerbations
(2008)Background: T lymphocytes and especially the subpopulations of CD8+ cells are believed to have a key role in COPD pathophysiology, but there are only few data regarding the role of these cells in COPD exacerbation. Aim: ... -
