ACOS syndrome: Single disease entity or not? Could exhaled nitric oxide be a useful biomarker for the differentiation of ACOS, asthma and COPD?
(2016)Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) represent two major public health problems. However, there is a significant proportion of patients with a mixed asthma-COPD phenotype. This condition is defined as ... -
Association of IL-10 gene promoter polymorphisms with food allergy susceptibility and serum IL-10 level in a pediatric Caucasian population
(2021)Background: Interleukin 10 has been shown to play a critical role in the regulation of the immune responses in allergic diseases. Aim: To investigate if genetic polymorphisms in the promoter region of the IL-10 gene are ... -
C-reactive protein as a potential biomarker of residual obstructive sleep apnea following adenotonsillectomy in children
(2016)Study Objectives: Adenotonsillectomy (AT) is first-line treatment for pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), with most children having improvements in polysomnography (PSG). However, many children have residual OSA ... -
Comparative Performance of Three Metabolic Syndrome Definitions in the Prediction of Acute Coronary Syndrome
(2009)Objective The value of the recently introduced definitions of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the identification of high cardiovascular risk subjects remains questionable. We examined the association among different definitions ... -
The Effect of a Comprehensive Injury Audit Program on Injury Incidence in Ballet: A 3-Year Prospective Study
(2013)Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether an intervention with individualized conditioning program based on injury history and functional movement screening would be effective in reducing ballet injury ... -
The effect of in-hospital acquired thrombocytopenia on the outcome of patients with acute coronary syndromes: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(2016)Background In-hospital acquired thrombocytopenia (TP) is relatively common among patients hospitalized with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). However, its effect on short-term and long-term outcomes has yet to be reviewed ... -
Egg Consumption, Cardiovascular Disease and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors: The Interaction with Saturated Fatty Acids. Results from the ATTICA Cohort Study (2002–2012)
(2022)Purpose: To examine the association of egg intake with 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and other cardiometabolic risk factors in a sample of individuals of Mediterranean origin. Methods: In 2001–2002, n = 1514 ... -
Elevated preoperative suPAR is a strong and independent risk marker for postoperative complications in patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery (SPARSE)
(2022)Background: Patients undergoing major surgery are often at risk of developing postoperative complications. We investigated whether a preoperative marker of chronic inflammation, soluble urokinase plasminogen activator ... -
Evaluating the role of perceived stress on the likelihood of having a non - Fatal acute coronary syndrome: A case-control study
(2014)Objectives: The aim of the current study was to evaluate the independent role of perceived stress, measured by the PSS-14, on the likelihood of having acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: This is a case-control study ... -
Evaluation of the interaction between LRRK2 and PARK16 loci in determining risk of Parkinson's disease: analysis of a large multicenter study
(2017)A recent study MacLeod et al. has shown that an interaction between variants at the LRRK2 and PARK16 loci influences risk of development of Parkinson's disease (PD). Our study examines the proposed interaction between LRRK2 ... -
Evidence for genetic contribution to the increased risk of type 2 diabetes in schizophrenia
(2018)The epidemiologic link between schizophrenia (SCZ) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) remains poorly understood. Here, we investigate the presence and extent of a shared genetic background between SCZ and T2D using genome-wide ... -
Food insecurity increases the risk of malnutrition among community-dwelling older adults
(2019)Objectives: To assess the prevalence of malnutrition and food insecurity (uncertainty, or limited ability to acquire acceptable foods through socially acceptable ways), among non-hospitalised, non-institutionalised, ... -
Genetic polymorphisms of FAS and EVER genes in a Greek population and their susceptibility to cervical cancer: A case control study
(2016)Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate the association of two SNPs of EVER1/2 genes' region (rs2290907, rs16970849) and the FAS-670 polymorphism with the susceptibility to precancerous lesions and cervical cancer ... -
Hormonal contraceptives and risk of ischemic stroke in women with migraine: a consensus statement from the European Headache Federation (EHF) and the European Society of Contraception and Reproductive Health (ESC)
(2017)Several data indicate that migraine, especially migraine with aura, is associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke and other vascular events. Of concern is whether the risk of ischemic stroke in migraineurs is ... -
In-stent graft helical flow intensity reduces the risk of migration after endovascular aortic repair
(2019)During the last years endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) became the elective treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) thanks to lower mortality and morbidity rates than open surgery. In face of these advantages, ... -
Large-scale assessment of polyglutamine repeat expansions in Parkinson disease
(2015)Objectives: We aim to clarify the pathogenic role of intermediate size repeat expansions of SCA2, SCA3, SCA6, and SCA17 as risk factors for idiopathic Parkinson disease (PD). Methods: We invited researchers from the Genetic ... -
Lives versus Livelihoods? Perceived economic risk has a stronger association with support for COVID-19 preventive measures than perceived health risk
(2021)This paper examines whether compliance with COVID-19 mitigation measures is motivated by wanting to save lives or save the economy (or both), and which implications this carries to fight the pandemic. National representative ... -
Local government, political decentralisation and resilience to natural hazard-associated disasters
(2017)Natural hazards affect development and can cause significant and long-term suffering for those affected. Research has shown that sustained long-term disaster preparedness combined with appropriate response and recovery are ... -
