Are Computer Science and Information Technology still masculine fields? High school students' perceptions and career choices
(2008)This study investigated Greek high school students' intentions and motivation towards and against pursuing academic studies in Computer Science (CS), the influence of the family and the scholastic environment on students' ... -
Association of repeat polymorphisms in the estrogen receptors alpha, beta (ESR1, ESR2) and androgen receptor (AR) genes with the occurrence of breast cancer
(2008)Genetic variation in genes involved in estrogen biosynthesis, metabolism and signal transduction have been suggested to play a role in breast cancer. To determine the possible contribution of genetic variation in the ESR1 ... -
Associations of Estrogen Receptor Alpha and Beta Gene Polymorphisms with Sex Steroid Levels and Body Fat Content in Men
(2012)Objective: Estrogens play an important role in male physiology. We investigated the possible association of four single nucleotide polymorphisms in Estrogen Receptor alpha (ESR1) and Estrogen Receptor beta (ESR2) genes ... -
Blood reflects tissue oxidative stress depending on biomarker and tissue studied
(2009)This study investigated whether selected oxidative stress markers measured in blood adequately reflect redox status in skeletal muscle, heart, and liver. Several markers were determined after implementing two treatments ... -
Cardiac Surgery in Dialysis-Dependent Patients: Impact of Gender on Early Outcome in Single-Center Experience with 204 Consecutive Cases
(2013)Background This study evaluates the impact of gender in dialysis-dependent patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Methods We retrospectively identified 204 dialysis-dependent patients (68.6% male, aged 66.6 +/- 9.9 years) ... -
Characterization of breast lesions with CE-MR multimodal morphological and kinetic analysis: Comparison with conventional mammography and high-resolution ultrasound
(2009)Objective: Evaluation of the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance mammography and comparison with conventional mammography and ultrasonography in cases of women with suspicious breast lesions. Subjects and methods: ... -

Common genetic variation in the Estrogen Receptor Beta (ESR2) gene and osteoarthritis: results of a meta-analysis
(2010)Background: The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between common genetic variation of the ESR2 gene and osteoarthritis. Methods: In the discovery study, the Rotterdam Study-I, 7 single nucleotide ... -
The Contribution of Stretch-Shortening Cycle and Arm-Swing to Vertical Jumping Performance in Children, Adolescents, and Adult Basketball Players
(2008)This study examined from childhood to adulthood: (1) the effects of countermovement (use of stretch-shortening cycle-SSC) and arm-swing (AS) on vertical jumping (W) performance and (2) the ability to use the SSC and AS ... -
Determination of human papillomavirus 16 physical status through E1/E6 and E2/E6 ratio analysis
(2014)Human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 genome integration into the host chromosome is a crucial event during the life cycle of the virus and a major step towards carcinogenesis. The integration of HPV16 DNA promotes a constitutive ... -
Development and application of competitive ELISA assays for rat LH and FSH
(1999)Rat LH (rLH) and FSH (rFSH) were measured by sensitive and specific competition ELISAs. The rat LH ELISA used rLH-I-9 coated plates, an antiserum against rLH and an antibody against rabbit IgG labeled with peroxidase. Using ... -
Dose-dense sequential adjuvant chemotherapy followed, as indicated, by trastuzumab for one year in patients with early breast cancer: first report at 5-year median follow-up of a Hellenic Cooperative Oncology Group randomized phase III trial
(2014)Background: Dose-dense sequential chemotherapy including anthracyclines and taxanes has been established in the adjuvant setting of high-risk operable breast cancer. However, the preferable taxane and optimal schedule of ... -
Duplex Real-time PCR assay and SYBR green I melting curve analysis for molecular identification of HPV genotypes 16, 18, 31, 35, 51 and 66
(2015)Long-term infection with high-risk HPV genotypes is the leading cause of cervical cancer. In the present study a Duplex Real-time PCR assay was developed in order to identify HPV types 16, 18, 31, 35, 51 and 66 in three ... -
Effect of prolonged aflatoxin B-1 administration on blood serum oestradiol-17 beta and progesterone concentrations of goats during the anoestrus period
(2015)The effect of prolonged aflatoxin B-1 (AFB(1)) administration on blood serum oestradiol-17 beta and progesterone concentrations in goats during the anoestrus period was investigated. Thirty Greek indigenous goats were used; ... -
Endothelin-3 and PRL levels in the maternal and fetal circulation at delivery
