Acute exercise markedly increases blood oxidative stress in boys and girls
(2007)This study investigated the effect of an acute swimming protocol on selected blood redox status indices in trained children. Eleven boys and 11 girls (aged 9-11 y) swam 12 bouts of 50 m at a pace corresponding to 70%-75% ... -
Age, sex, adult and larval diet shape starvation resistance in the Mediterranean fruit fly: an ecological and gerontological perspective
(2019)The ability of an animal to withstand periods of food deprivation is a key driver of invasion success (biodiversity), adaptation to new conditions, and a crucial determinant of senescence in populations. Starvation resistance ... -
Age-related cognitive decline and associations with sex, education and apolipoprotein E genotype across ethnocultural groups and geographic regions: a collaborative cohort study
(2017)Background: The prevalence of dementia varies around the world, potentially contributed to by international differences in rates of age-related cognitive decline. Our primary goal was to investigate how rates of age-related ... -

(2022)Nematodes of the genus Trichinella are among the most widespread parasites of domestic and wild omnivores and predatory animals. The present study aimed to evaluate the antiparasitic effect of Lactobacillus casei ATCC 393 ... -
Approaches to studying among Greek university students: the impact of gender, age, academic discipline and handedness
(2006)Background There is considerable interest in differences in students' approaches to learning, particularly in the difference between 'deep' approaches ( characterized by contextualization, critical review and recognition ... -
Assessing functional status using the IADL-extended scale: Results from the HELIAD study
(2020)Objectives: Instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) have been operationalized as exhibiting a greater level of complexity than basic ADL. In the same way, incorporating more advanced ADLs may increase the sensitivity ... -
Association Between Sleep Disturbances and Frailty: Evidence From a Population-Based Study
(2021)Objective: To explore the association between both self-reported quality and quantity sleep characteristics and frailty status in a large non–sex-specific population of older individuals in Greece. Design: Cross-sectional ... -
Association of FCGR2A with the response to infliximab treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis
(2014)OBJECTIVES: We aimed to assess a functional polymorphism in FCGR2A H131R, for association with the treatment response to Fc-containing inhibitors of tumor necrosis factor (TNF). METHODS: A total of 429 biologic-naive ... -
Association of the leptin gene with knee osteoarthritis susceptibility in a Han Chinese population: A case-control study
(2010)Previous studies have suggested that leptin works as a key regulator in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA), and genetic factors modulate OA. This study assessed the contribution of leptin gene (LEP) polymorphism(s) ... -
Bayley-III scales at 12 months of corrected age in preterm infants: Patterns of developmental performance and correlations to environmental and biological influences
(2015)Background and aims: Premature infants are at high risk for neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) even in the absence of known brain complications of prematurity. Evaluation of the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions ... -
Between a rock and a hard place: women and computer technology
(2015)This paper explores certain possible reasons behind the uneasy relationship between women and technology. The cultural identification of technology with masculinity has been well documented through previous research. ... -
Clinically meaningful parameters of progression and long-term outcome of Parkinson disease: AN international consensus statement
(2015)Parkinson disease (PD) is associated with a clinical course of variable duration, severity, and a combination of motor and non-motor features. Recent PD research has focused primarily on etiology rather than clinical ... -
DIANA-miTED: A microRNA tissue expression database
(2022)microRNAs (miRNAs) are short (∼23nt) single-stranded non-coding RNAs that act as potent post-transcriptional gene expression regulators. Information about miRNA expression and distribution across cell types and tissues is ... -
