An 11- to 15-year clinical outcome study of the Advance Medial Pivot total knee arthroplasty: Pivot knee arthroplasty
(2016)Aims The Advance Medial-Pivot total knee arthroplasty (TKA) was designed to reflect contemporary data regarding the kinematics of the knee. We wished to examine the longterm results obtained with this prosthesis by extending ... -
A 13- to 16-year clinical and radiological outcome study of the genesis II cruciate retaining total knee arthroplasty with an oxidised zirconium femoral component
(2019)Purpose: The Genesis II Total Knee Arthroplasty with an oxidized zirconium (OxiniumTM) femoral component (Smith & Nephew, Memphis, TN, USA) was introduced in an attempt to reduce polyethylene wear and osteolysis. Methods: ... -
20-year trends of characteristics and outcomes of stroke patients with atrial fibrillation
(2018)Background: The accurate knowledge of secular trends in prevalence, characteristics and outcomes of patients with ischemic stroke and atrial fibrillation allows better projections into the future. Aim: We aimed to report ... -
-572 G/C single nucleotide polymorphism of interleukin-6 and sepsis predisposition in chronic renal disease
(2015)Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of interleukin (IL)-6 are associated with the development of chronic renal disease (CRD). Their impact for sepsis in the field of CRD was investigated. One control cohort of 115 ... -
99mTc sestamibi as a prognostic factor of response to first-line therapy and outcome in patients with malignant lymphoma
(2013)INTRODUCTION: Resistance to chemotherapy poses a major problem in cancer patients. Although of multifactorial origin, some of the implicated mechanisms also interfere with Tc-MIBI uptake and retention in cancer cells. The ... -
Acute limb ischemia and anticoagulation in patients with history of atrial fibrillation
(2016)BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the commonest source of arterial embolization causing acute limb ischemia (ALI). The aim of this study was to assess the adherence of anticoagulation in AF patients and the treatment ... -
Adherence to Mediterranean Diet and Frailty
(2018)Objective: Το investigate associations between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and frailty in a Greek population of older adults. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Data were drawn from the Hellenic longitudinal ... -
Adherence to Mediterranean Diet and Nutritional Status in Women with Breast Cancer: What Is Their Impact on Disease Progression and Recurrence-Free Patients’ Survival?
(2022)Introduction: Nutritional status impacts the survival of patients with cancer. There are few studies that investigate the role of nutritional status on breast cancer survival in women with breast cancer, and even fewer ... -
Age and signal strength-related changes in vessel density in the choroid and the retina: an OCT angiography study of the macula and optic disc
(2022)Purpose: To investigate the effects of ageing and signal strength index (SSI) on vessel density (VD) measurements of the radial peripapillary capillaries (RPC) in the optic disc, the retinal superficial (SCP) and deep (DCP) ... -
Age- A nd sex-specific analysis of patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source
(2017)Objective: To investigate whether the correlation of age and sex with the risk of recurrence and death seen in patients with previous ischemic stroke is also evident in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source ... -
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 ... -
Alpha-synuclein repeat variants and survival in parkinson's disease
(2014)Objectives: To determine whether α-synuclein dinucleotide repeat (REP1) genotypes are associated with survival in Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: Investigators from the Genetic Epidemiology of Parkinson's Disease ... -
Anatomical Differences Between Intact and Ruptured Large Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
(2020)Purpose: To compare different anatomical characteristics between intact and ruptured large abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAA >80 mm) with the goal of refining the process of estimating rupture risk. Materials and Methods: ... -
Anti-C1q autoantibodies are frequently detected in patients with systemic sclerosis associated with pulmonary fibrosis
(2019)Background: Anti-C1q autoantibodies (autoAbs) are associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but their presence in other rheumatic diseases has not been adequately investigated. Objectives: We aimed to assess ... -
Anti-MCV antibodies predict radiographic progression in Greek patients with very early (<3 months duration) rheumatoid arthritis
(2017)This study aimed to assess the diagnostic and prognostic value of anti-mutated citrullinated vimentin (MCV) antibodies in very early rheumatoid arthritis (VERA) and in established rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Seventy-one ... -
Antigen-specific humoral responses against Helicobacter pylori in patients with systemic sclerosis
(2020)Helicobacter pylori (Hp) is a likely trigger of systemic sclerosis (SSc), but systemic antigen-specific antibody (Ab) responses in a well-defined cohort of SSc patients have not been thoroughly assessed. Line immunoassay ... -
Apolipoprotein ϵ4 allele is associated with frailty syndrome: Results from the hellenic longitudinal investigation of ageing and diet study
(2019)Apolipoprotein (APOE) ϵ4 allele has been associated with a number of age-related diseases but previous studies failed to identify any link with Frailty syndrome. The aim of the present study is to investigate the association ... -
AQP4 tag SNPs in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage in Greek and Polish population
(2019)Backround: A relatively small number of genetic variants are implicated to pathophysiology of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) has been reported to be implicated in the pathophysiological processes of ICH ... -
