(2012)The aim of this work is to study the bioclimatic conditions as well as the air quality for three different regions of the greater Athens area (GAA), during the warm period of the year for the time period 2001-2005. ... -
DONOR SITES FOR PEDICLED SKELETAL GRAFTS OF THE HAND, WRIST, AND FOREARM
(2009)Pedicled bone and periosteal grafts provide successful reconstruction of skeletal problems of the distal radius, wrist, and hand. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the available alternatives and to propose the most ... -
The effect of osteoporotic treatment on the functional outcome, re-fracture rate, quality of life and mortality in patients with hip fractures: A prospective functional and clinical outcome study on 520 patients
(2015)Numerous high quality studies have shown the positive effects of various osteoporotic medical treatment regimens on bone mass and on the reduction of risk for new spinal, hip and non-spinal fractures in osteoporotic patients. ... -
Glycemic Response of a Carbohydrate-Protein Bar with Ewe-Goat Whey
(2014)In this study we examined the glycaemic index (GI) and glycaemic load (GL) of a functional food product, which contains ewe-goat whey protein and carbohydrates in a 1: 1 ratio. Nine healthy volunteers, (age, 23.3 +/- 3.9 ... -
Impaired degradation and aberrant phagocytosis of necrotic cell debris in the peripheral blood of patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome
(2015)Aberrant removal of necrotic debris is considered a feature with inflammatory consequences in SLE. Herein, primary Sjogren's syndrome (SS) patients were investigated for the first time for the capacity of their sera to ... -
Monitoring urban sprawl using simulated PROBA-V data
(2014)Urbanization proceeds currently at a rapid pace and the impact on natural ecosystems cannot be neglected. Consequently, it is important to be able to monitor the expansion of urban areas. Yet the process of extracting them ... -
New insights into weaning from mechanical ventilation: left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is a key player
(2011)To investigate the diagnostic performance of Doppler echocardiography (DE) in predicting the outcome of weaning from mechanical ventilation in patients without overt cardiac disease. Fifty critical care noncardiac patients ... -
A Randomized Double-Blind Trial of Anesthesia Provided for Colonoscopy by University-Degreed Anesthesia Nurses in Greece Safety and Efficacy
(2013)There are numerous studies in the literature of anesthesia administered during colonoscopy including various methods, drugs, and monitoring systems; however, none of them has studied whether a university-degreed nurse ... -
Relationships between Reflectance and Water Status in a Greenhouse Rocket (Eruca sativa Mill.) Cultivation
(2013)Crop water status is an important parameter for plant growth and yield performance in greenhouses, and thus early detection of water stress is essential for efficient crop management. Therefore, the aim of this work was ... -
Resistin serum levels are increased but not correlated with insulin resistance in chronic hemodialysis patients
(2005)Background/Aims: Insulin resistance is a well-known phenomenon in uremia. Resistin, a recently discovered insulin inhibitor secreted by adipocytes, is associated with obesity and insulin resistance in mice. Adiponectin, ... -
Severity-duration-frequency analysis of droughts and wet periods in Greece
(2000)There is an escalation in the frequency and severity of extreme events due to a number of environmental and/or anthropogenic factors. Droughts and exceptionally wet periods are regional phenomena, which are considered as ...
