Analysis of factors influencing the qualitative characteristics of equine synovial fluid
(2021)The objective of the present study was to investigate the viscoelastic properties in synovial fluid between normal horses and horses with naturally occurring OA and to detect factors affecting synovial fluid viscosity. In ... -
Analysis of magnetohydrodynamic channel flow through complex network analysis
(2021)Velocity time series of hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulent flow are analyzed by means of complex network analysis in order to understand the mechanism of fluid patterns modification due to the external ... -
Anosmic flies: what Orco silencing does to olive fruit flies
(2020)Background: The olive fruit fly (Bactrocera oleae) is the most destructive pest of the olive cultivation worldwide causing significant production losses and olive fruit impoverishment, as its larvae feed exclusively on the ... -
Assessment of the antioxidant activity of an olive oil total polyphenolic fraction and hydroxytyrosol from a Greek Olea europea variety in endothelial cells and myoblasts
(2017)Olive oil (OO) constitutes the basis of the Mediterranean diet, and it seems that its biophenols, such as hydroxytyrosol (HT) may scavenge free radicals, attracting distinct attention due to their beneficial effects in ... -
Association of Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphisms with Serum Vitamin D Levels in a Greek Rural Population (Velestino Study)
(2021)Background/Aim: An alarming increase in vitamin D deficiency even in sunny regions highlights the need for a better understanding of the genetic background of the vitamin D endocrine system and the molecular mechanisms of ... -
Atrial Fibrillation Is Associated with Cognitive Impairment, All-Cause Dementia, Vascular Dementia, and Alzheimer’s Disease: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(2021)Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a risk factor for cognitive impairment and dementia in patients with stroke history. However, the association between AF and cognitive impairment in broader populations is less clear. ... -
Brain perfusion SPECT with 99mTC-ECD and serum neuron-specific enolase in patients with spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage and clinical vasospasm
(2006)Aim: To estimate the association between single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging and neuro-specific enolase (NSE) serum level measurement in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and also to present ... -
Cell-specific and roasting-dependent regulation of the Keap1/Nrf2 pathway by coffee extracts
(2018)Coffee is a popular beverage that contains various bioactive compounds. However, its molecular mechanism of action is not fully elucidated. In this context, two previously characterized coffee extracts, a lightly roasted ... -
Challenges in developing methods for quantifying the effects of weather and climate on water-associated diseases: A systematic review
(2017)Infectious diseases attributable to unsafe water supply, sanitation and hygiene (e.g. Cholera, Leptospirosis, Giardiasis) remain an important cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in low-income countries. Climate ... -
Choroidal thickness and ocular growth in childhood
(2021)The involvement of the choroid in ocular growth regulation has been postulated in studies showing that refractive errors correlate with alterations in choroidal thickness (ChT). The advent of optical coherence tomography ... -
Circular bio-economy via energy transition supported by Fuzzy Cognitive Map modeling towards sustainable low-carbon environment
(2020)Several energy transition plans attempt to establish low-carbon practices towards a circular bio-economy in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, most actions only try to assuage the impacts of climate change ... -
Complex distal 10q rearrangement in a girl with mild intellectual disability: Follow up of the patient and review of the literature of non-acrocentric satellited chromosomes
(2011)We report on an intellectually disabled girl with a de novo satellited chromosome 10 (10qs) and performed a review of the literature of the non-acrocentric satellited chromosomes (NASC). Satellites and stalks normally occur ... -
Correlation of a quantitative and a semi-quantitative method for proteinuria detection in chronic kidney disease in dogs
(2021)Proteinuria can arise in various physiologic and pathologic conditions. Persistent proteinuria without any abnormalities detected in urine sediment is indicative of chronic kidney disease and has great diagnostic value as ... -
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, ... -
Dabigatran Reversal With Idarucizumab and In-Hospital Mortality in Intracranial Hemorrhage: A Systematic Review of Real-Life Data From Case Reports and Case Series
(2021)Background: Intracranial hemorrhage is a severe and possibly fatal consequence of anticoagulation therapy. Idarucizumab is used in dabigatran-treated patients suffering from intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) to reverse the ... -
Data-driven inference of the reproduction number for COVID-19 before and after interventions for 51 European countries
(2020)The reproduction number is broadly considered as a key indicator for the spreading of the COVID-19 pandemic. Its estimated value is a measure of the necessity and, eventually, effectiveness of interventions imposed in ... -
DE-PASS Best Evidence Statement (BESt): Modifiable determinants of physical activity and sedentary behaviour in children and adolescents aged 5-19 years-a protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis
(2022)Introduction Physical activity among children and adolescents remains insufficient, despite the substantial efforts made by researchers and policymakers. Identifying and furthering our understanding of potential modifiable ... -
Delayed diagnosis of Prader-Willi syndrome in a 24 year-old patient
