AQP4 Tag Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury
(2014)Accumulating evidence suggests that the extent of brain injury and the clinical outcome after traumatic brain injury (TBI) are modulated, to some degree, by genetic variants. Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is the predominant water ... -
Association between Motor Signs and Cognitive Performance in Cognitively Unimpaired Older Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study Using the NACC Database
(2022)Aiming to examine whether specific motor signs are associated with worse performance in specific cognitive domains among cognitively unimpaired (CU) individuals, we performed a cross-sectional analysis of data from the ... -
Cognitive Neurorehabilitation in Acquired Neurological Brain Injury
(2019)[No abstract available] -
Consensus statement from the international consensus meeting on post-traumatic cranioplasty
(2021)Background: Due to the lack of high-quality evidence which has hindered the development of evidence-based guidelines, there is a need to provide general guidance on cranioplasty (CP) following traumatic brain injury (TBI), ... -
Consensus statement from the International Consensus Meeting on the Role of Decompressive Craniectomy in the Management of Traumatic Brain Injury: Consensus statement
(2019)Background: Two randomised trials assessing the effectiveness of decompressive craniectomy (DC) following traumatic brain injury (TBI) were published in recent years: DECRA in 2011 and RESCUEicp in 2016. As the results ... -
The diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance angiography for blunt vertebral artery injury detection in trauma patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(2017)The role of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in the evaluation of patients with blunt vertebral artery has not been fully established. Our aim is to define the diagnostic accuracy of MRA in comparison to digital ... -
Effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme tag single nucleotide polymorphisms on the outcome of patients with traumatic brain injury
(2015)Background Genetic variants appear to influence, at least to some degree, the extent of brain injury and the clinical outcome of patients who have sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Angiotensin-converting enzyme ... -
Effect of integrin AV and B8 gene polymorphisms in patients with traumatic brain injury
(2019)Background: Α few genetic variants are associated with the outcome after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Integrins are glycoprotein receptors that play an important role in the integrity of microvasculature of the brain. ... -
The Effectiveness of Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation Alone or Combined with Cognitive Training on the Cognitive Performance of Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury: A Systematic Review
(2022)Objective: The present study reviewed published evidence on the effectiveness of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) on the cognitive performance of patients with Traumatic brain injury (TBI). Method: A systematic search ... -
Genetic association studies in patients with traumatic brain injury
(2010)Traumatic brain injury (TBI) constitutes a major cause of mortality and disability worldwide, especially among young individuals. It is estimated that despite all the recent advances in the management of TBI, approximately ... -
Neuromonitoring in Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: A Bibliometric Analysis
(2022)Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of mortality and disability among trauma-related injuries. Neuromonitoring plays an essential role in the management and prognosis of patients with severe TBI. Our bibliometric ... -
Non-genetic risk and protective factors and biomarkers for neurological disorders: a meta-umbrella systematic review of umbrella reviews
(2021)Background: The etiologies of chronic neurological diseases, which heavily contribute to global disease burden, remain far from elucidated. Despite available umbrella reviews on single contributing factors or diseases, no ... -
Perioperative Use of Erythromycin Reduces Cognitive Decline after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery: A Pilot Study
(2017)Objectives Adverse neurologic outcome can be a debilitating complication after cardiac surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential neuroprotective action of erythromycin, a well known antibiotic agent, ... -
Population Attributable Fractions for Modifiable Risk Factors of Incident Dementia in Cognitively Normal and Mild Cognitively Impaired Older Adults: Data from Two Cohort Studies
(2022)Background: Recent global meta-analyses show that 40% of dementia cases can be attributed to twelve modifiable risk factors. Objective: To investigate how health promotion strategies may differ in specific populations, ... -
Septic shock due to Candida famata (Debaryomyces hansenii) candidemia in an ICU immunocompetent trauma-patient
(2019)Sepsis related to Candida famata (C. famata) fungemia is extremely rare in immunocompetent patients. Moreover, septic shock has not been reported due to this yeast. A previously healthy young multi-trauma male, presented ... -
Serotonin and Neuron-specific Enolase: Serum Acute and Mid-term Levels and their Association With Posttraumatic Depression
(2010)Objectives: To investigate the association between serotonin (SER), cholesterol, and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) serum levels with depression after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Materials and Methods: Seventy-four patients ... -
Severe traumatic brain injury (Tbi) – a seven-year comparative study in a department of forensic medicine
(2020)Deaths caused by traumatic brain injury (TBI) increase in incidence every year worldwidely, mainly in developing countries. Thus, World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that in 2020, TBI will become the third main cause ... -
Traumatic brain injury and gene knockout animal models: An up-to-date review
(2017)Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Identification of endogenous neuroprotective mechanisms after TBI and the development of therapeutic targets to improve TBI outcomes are ... -
