An 11- to 15-year clinical outcome study of the Advance Medial Pivot total knee arthroplasty: Pivot knee arthroplasty
(2016)Aims The Advance Medial-Pivot total knee arthroplasty (TKA) was designed to reflect contemporary data regarding the kinematics of the knee. We wished to examine the longterm results obtained with this prosthesis by extending ... -
Acute limb ischemia and anticoagulation in patients with history of atrial fibrillation
(2016)BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the commonest source of arterial embolization causing acute limb ischemia (ALI). The aim of this study was to assess the adherence of anticoagulation in AF patients and the treatment ... -
Antioxidant responses following active and passive smoking of tobacco and electronic cigarettes
(2016)Context: It has been indicated that acute active and passive tobacco cigarette smoking may cause changes on redox status balance that may result in significant pathologies. However, no study has evaluated the effects of ... -
The association of simple renal cysts with abdominal aortic aneurysms and their impact on renal function after endovascular aneurysm repair
(2016)We validated the association of simple renal cysts with abdominal aortic aneurysm and other cardiovascular factors and assessed simple renal cysts’ impact on renal function before and after endovascular abdominal aortic ... -
Bioavailability and health risk assessment of potentially toxic elements in Thriasio Plain, near Athens, Greece
(2017)Elevated concentrations of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) are usually found in areas of intense industrial activity. Thriasio Plain is a plain near Athens, Greece, where most of the heavy industry of the country has ... -
“Blame it on the Comorbidities”: A 5-Year Follow-Up of 53 Chronic Dialysis-Dependent Patients Who Underwent Cardiac Surgery
(2016)Objectives This study evaluates midterm survival rates and risk factors for mortality of chronic dialysis-dependent patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Methods Fifty-three dialysis-dependent patients (34 males, aged 67 ± ... -
Complexity of persistent type II endoleak associated with sac expansion after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair
(2015)Type II endoleak after endovascular aortic aneurysm repair still remains the Achilles’ heel of the treatment, the source of which regularly is difficult to identify and treat. We present a patient with a persistent type ... -
COPD characteristics and socioeconomic burden in Hellenic correctional institutions
(2016)Background: The high prevalence of smoking (80%) in Greek correctional institutions is anticipated to result in high prevalence of COPD in such settings. Aim: The aim of the Greek obstructive luNg disease epidemiOlogy and ... -
Endovascular treatment of complex abdominal and thoracoabdominal type IV aortic aneurysms with fenestrated technology
(2017)The establishment use of fenestrated and branched devices to treat complex aortic aneurysms as a first-line management option has been previously reported. This article reviews the current literature of the use of fenestrated ... -
Fenestrated stent grafts for the treatment of complex aortic aneurysm disease: A mature treatment paradigm
(2016)The introduction of fenestrated stent grafts (SGs) to treat abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) with short proximal necks began in 1999. Nowadays, the whole visceral aorta can be treated totally by endovascular means. The ... -
Frequency dependent non-thermal effects of oscillating electric fields in the microwave region on the properties of a solvated lysozyme system: A molecular dynamics study
(2017)The use of microwaves in every day's applications raises issues regarding the non thermal biological effects of microwaves. In this work we employ molecular dynamics simulations to advance further the dielectric studies ... -
Global forum: The burden of bone and joint infections: A growing demand for more resources
(2017)The rate and severity of septic complications following joint replacement surgery and the incidence of post-traumatic infections are projected to increase at a faster pace because of a tendency to operate on high-risk ... -
Health impacts due to particulate air pollution in Volos City, Greece
(2016)There is great consensus among the scientific community that suspended particulate matter is considered as one of the most harmful pollutants, particularly the inhalable particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less ... -
High risk of fistula formation in vacuum-assisted closure therapy in patients with open abdomen due to secondary peritonitis—a retrospective analysis
(2016)Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of vacuum-assisted closure therapy in patients with open abdomen due to secondary peritonitis and to identify possible risk factors of fistula formation. Methods: ... -
Hybrid procedures for chronic lower limb ischemia: What determines the outcome?
(2017)BACKGROUND: To report the long term outcome of hybrid (combined open and endovascular) procedures for the management of multisegmental chronic peripheral arterial disease. METHODS: A retrospective analysis from a single ... -
Methylprednisolone in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (SIRS): A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
(2015)Background Cardiopulmonary bypass initiates a systemic inflammatory response syndrome that is associated with postoperative morbidity and mortality. Steroids suppress inflammatory responses and might improve outcomes in ... -
Molecular determinants of radiosensitivity in normal and tumor tissue: A bioinformatic approach
(2017)Although radiation therapy is a treatment of choice for cancer, a high percentage of patients develop adverse effects in normal tissue following radiotherapy, mainly, due to genetic factors. Notably, although it is established ... -
New devices to cross chronic total occlusion in critical limb ischemia
(2016)Chronic total occlusions (CTos) represent a technically demanding subset of lesions, which in most cases require special endovascular methods, advanced operator skills, and utilization of sophisticated assisting devices ... -
