(2022)Objective: To assess the possible impact conferred by co-existing variants in MEditerranean FeVer (MEFV) and other genes on systemic autoinflammatory disease (SAID) phenotype. Methods: Consecutive patients (n = 42) who ... -
Biologics in SAPHO syndrome: A systematic review
(2019)Background: The SAPHO syndrome is a relatively rare clinical entity characterized by a wide range of dermatological and musculoskeletal manifestations. Biologics have been used in cases refractory to conventional treatment. ... -
Burnout Evaluation and Potential Predictors in a Greek Cohort of Mental Health Nurses
(2018)Background: Job burnout is one of the most serious occupational health hazards, especially, among mental health nurses. It has been attributed among others to staff shortages, health service changes, poor morale and ... -
Carotid Atherosclerosis and Patent Foramen Ovale in Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source
(2021)Background: Carotid atherosclerosis and likely pathogenic patent foramen ovale (PFO) are two potential embolic sources in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS). The relationship between these two ... -
Characterization of Patients with Embolic Strokes of Undetermined Source in the NAVIGATE ESUS Randomized Trial

Comparison of advanced closed-loop ventilation modes with pressure support ventilation for weaning from mechanical ventilation in adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(2022)Purpose: To compare neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA), proportional assist ventilation (PAV), adaptive support ventilation (ASV) and Smartcare pressure support (Smartcare/PS) with standard pressure support ... -
Comparison of continuous intradermal with simple interrupted suture pattern: an experimental study in dogs
(2020)The aim of the study was to compare incisional wound healing in intradermal and simple interrupted suture patterns. Ten dogs were included. Surgically created skin incisions were apposed with (a) continuous intradermal ... -
Comparison of Risk Scores for the Prediction of the Overall Cardiovascular Risk in Patients with Ischemic Stroke: The Athens Stroke Registry
(2019)Background: Stratification of overall vascular risk in patients with ischemic stroke is important as it may guide management decisions. Currently available schemes have only modest prognostic accuracy. The TRA2°P score ... -
Continuing versus Stopping Prestroke Antihypertensive Therapy in Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Subgroup Analysis of the Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke Trial
(2016)Background and purpose More than 50% of patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are taking antihypertensive drugs before ictus. Although antihypertensive therapy should be given long term for secondary prevention, ... -
Continuous chest compressions with asynchronous ventilation improve survival in a neonatal swine model of asphyxial cardiac arrest
(2021)Background: Guidelines for neonatal resuscitation recommend a 3:1 compression to ventilation ratio. However, this recommendation is based on expert opinion and consensus rather than strong scientific evidence. Our primary ... -
