Adhesion Prevention to Polypropylene Meshes Using Combined Icodextrin Four Percent and Dimetindene Maleate
(2019)Background: The use of surgical meshes in ventral hernia repair has significantly reduced hernia recurrence rates. However, when placed intraperitoneally prosthetic materials can trigger the development of peritoneal ... -
Application of a semi-dependent latent model in the Bayesian estimation of the sensitivity and specificity of two faecal culture methods for diagnosis of paratuberculosis in sub-clinically infected Greek dairy sheep and goats
(2006)In this study, we compared the frequency of isolation of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) from faecal samples grown on Herrold's egg-yolk medium (HEYM) or on Lowenstein-Jensen (LJ) medium and estimated the ... -
Balance in theatrical dance performance: A systematic review
(2018)AIM: Due to movement complexity and the use of interdisciplinary styles, all theatrical dance genres require dancers to have excellent balance skills to meet choreographic demands. The aim of this systematic review was to ... -
Comparative evaluation of metallic skin staples or polypropylene sutures for primary closure of teat wounds in sheep
(2019)Aims: To compare stainless steel staples and polypropylene suture material for primary closure of wounds after teat amputation in ewes and to assess progress of healing in the presence or absence of intramammary infection ... -
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 ... -
Cross-cultural Adaptation and Psychometric Properties of the Greek Version of the Central Sensitization Inventory
(2020)Objectives: Recent studies support the opinion that central sensitization (CS) plays an important role in the pathophysiology of many chronic pain conditions. CS refers to hyperexcitability of the central nervous system, ... -
Current research and application of stem cells in the dog and cat
(2021)Stem cells (SCs) are multipotent cells with differentiation and proliferation capacities in many cell lineages. The majority of literature applications are about bone marrow derived stem cells (BMSCs) and adipose derived ... -
Demographic window to aging in the wild: Constructing life tables and estimating survival functions from marked individuals of unknown age
(2004)We address the problem of establishing a survival schedule for wild populations. A demographic key identity is established, leading to a method whereby age-specific survival and mortality can be deduced from a marked cohort ... -
Effects of Anesthetic Ketamine on Anxiety-Like Behaviour in Rats
(2019)There is scarce information regarding the effects of anesthetic doses of the non-competitive N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor antagonist ketamine on anxiety. The current study evaluated the acute effects of intraperitoneally ... -
Effects of the inducible nitric oxide synthase inhibitor aminoguanidine in two different rat models of schizophrenia
(2016)Several lines evidence indicate that the non-competitive N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist ketamine and the mixed dopamine (DA) D1/D2 receptor agonist apomorphine induce schizophrenia-like symptoms in rodents, ... -
Evaluation of efficacy of a biofilm-embedded bacteria-based vaccine against staphylococcal mastitis in sheep—A randomized, placebo-controlled field study
(2019)Our objective was to evaluate the efficacy of a vaccine against staphylococcal mastitis in 5 dairy sheep farms, with 316 ewes in the vaccinated (V) group and 307 in the control (C) group studied throughout a lactation ... -
Evaluation of nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity of aminosidine (paromomycin)-allopurinol combination in dogs with leishmaniosis due to Leishmania infantum: A randomized, blinded, controlled study
(2019)Canine leishmaniosis due to Leishmania infantum is a widespread zoonotic disease. Although aminosidine can be an effective treatment, current therapeutic recommendations do not advocate its use, mainly due to concerns ... -
High-dose pantoprazole continuous infusion is superior to somatostatin after endoscopic hemostasis in patients with peptic ulcer bleeding
(2007)BACKGROUND: The best antisecretory treatment after endoscopic hemostasis in patients with ulcer bleeding is still in quest. OBJECTIVES: To compare pantoprazole and somatostatin continuous infusion after endoscopic hemostasis ... -
Histopathological evaluation and redox assessment in blood and kidney tissues in a rabbit contrast-induced nephrotoxicity model
(2017)Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a leading cause of hospital-acquired acute kidney injury as a result of iodinated contrast-media use for diagnostic purposes. Pathophysiology remains unclear. In the present study ... -
Interrupted versus uninterrupted anticoagulation therapy for catheter ablation in adults with arrhythmias
(2021)Background: The management of anticoagulation therapy around the time of catheter ablation (CA) procedure for adults with arrhythmia is critical and yet is variable in clinical practice. The ideal approach for safe and ... -
Muscle metaboreceptors modulate postexercise sweating, but not cutaneous blood flow, independent of baroreceptor loading status
(2015)We examined whether sustained changes in baroreceptor loading status during prolonged postexercise recovery can alter the metaboreceptors’ influence on heat loss. Thirteen young males performed a 1-min isometric handgrip ... -
Optimal allocation of limited test resources for the quantification of COVID-19 infections
(2020)The systematic identification of infected individuals is critical for the containment of the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, the spread of the disease is mostly quantified by the reported numbers of infections, hospitalisations, ... -
The rat closely mimics oxidative stress and inflammation in humans after exercise but not after exercise combined with vitamin C administration
(2016)Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to directly compare oxidative stress and inflammation responses between rats and humans. Methods: We contrasted rat and human oxidative stress and inflammatory responses to ...
