Bone mass of female dance students prior to professional dance training: A cross-sectional study
(2017)Background Professional dancers are at risk of developing low bone mineral density (BMD). However, whether low BMD phenotypes already exist in pre-vocational dance students is relatively unknown. Aim To cross-sectionally ... -
Construct validity of the test of gross motor development: A cross-validation approach
(2002)This study was designed to examine the underlying structure of the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD) in Ulrich (1985). The TGMD was administered to 644 children who were randomly divided into two groups (calibration ... -
Developing THMs' predictive models in two water supply systems in Greece
(2020)Disinfection is a very significant water treatment process for drinking water safety, as it inactivates pathogens from drinking water. However, disinfection-by-products (DBPs) are formed which are accused of contributing ... -
An empirical model of sediment deposition processes in Lake Kerkini, Central Macedonia Greece
(2010)The deposition processes in Kerkini Reservoir, since 1933, are examined in this paper. Built on the course of River Strymonas at the plain of Serres for anti-flooding control, it was gradually developed as a multipurpose ... -
Formulation of the conceptual model for the tectonic geomorphological evolution of an area: Five main rivers of Greece as a case study
(2018)This paper associates the tectonic conditions of five rivers (integrated drainage networks) in northwestern Greece, for the purpose of formulating the conceptual model of its tectonic and geomorphological evolution. The ... -
The Generalized Odds Ratio as a Measure of Genetic Risk Effect in the Analysis and Meta-Analysis of Association Studies
(2010)The significance of risk effects in genetic association studies is assessed using the odds ratio for various genetic models (dominant, recessive and co-dominant) by merging genotypes. These models are not independent and ... -
Global, regional, and national sex differences in the global burden of tuberculosis by HIV status, 1990–2019: results from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
(2022)Background: Tuberculosis is a major contributor to the global burden of disease, causing more than a million deaths annually. Given an emphasis on equity in access to diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis in global health ... -
Hospitalization Epidemic in Patients With Heart Failure: Risk Factors, Risk Prediction, Knowledge Gaps, and Future Directions
(2011)Patients with heart failure (HF) are hospitalized over a million times annually in the United States. Hospitalization marks a fundamental change in the natural history of HF, leading to frequent subsequent rehospitalizations ... -
A meta-analysis of genotypes and haplotypes of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene polymorphisms in acute lymphoblastic leukemia
(2006)A meta-analysis of case-control studies that investigated the association between the C677T and/or A1298C polymorphisms in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) was ... -
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 ... -
Modeling and Computational Comparison of the Displacement Forces Exerted between the AFX Unibody Aortic Stent Graft and its Hybrid Combination with a Nitinol-based Proximal Aortic Cuff
(2021)Background: The bifurcated AFX (Endologix, Inc, Irvine, CA, USA) aortic stent-graft is the sole unibody endograft for the management of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA). In order to improve the AFX central sealing and ... -
Modelling of escalating outpatient antibiotic expenditures
(2003)Objectives: To model the relative role of old and newly introduced antibiotics in shaping increased antibiotic use. Methods: Grouped data covering nationwide consumption and expenditure for out-of-hospital antibiotics in ... -
The pivotal role of protein phosphorylation in the control of yeast central metabolism
(2017)Protein phosphorylation is the most frequent eukaryotic post-translational modification and can act as either a molecular switch or rheostat for protein functions. The deliberate manipulation of protein phosphorylation has ... -
Spatial planning of fire-agency stations as a function of wildfire likelihood in Thasos, Greece
(2020)Even though wildfires constitute a natural phenomenon, they may have severe implications with respect to the socioeconomic structure of the affected population and the ecological wealth of a territory, especially when they ...
