The 2003 Marshall R. Urist Award Paper - Genetic background of osteonecrosis: Associated with thrombophilic mutations?
(2004)Intravascular coagulation is considered a major pathogenetic mechanism for nontraumatic osteonecrosis. The aim of our study was to evaluate the association of thrombophilic factor V G1691A mutation (factor V Leiden) and ... -
Absence of blood pressure, metabolic, and inflammatory marker changes after adenotonsillectomy for sleep apnea in Greek children
(2008)Aim: Pediatric studies revealed associations of obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) with inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and elevated blood pressure. Evidence about effects of adenotonsillectomy on these ... -
Allergy-associated symptoms in relation to childhood non-Hodgkin's as contrasted to Hodgkin's lymphomas: A case-control study in Greece and meta-analysis
(2012)An increase of the prevalence of childhood allergic diseases and the incidence of childhood Hodgkin's (HL) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) were reported in the late 20th century. Among adults, several studies point to an ... -
Analysis of SAA1 gene polymorphisms in the Greek population: rheumatoid arthritis and FMF patients relative to normal controls. Homogeneous distribution and low incidence of AA amyloidosis
(2007)Objective. To address whether or not the rarity of amyloidosis in Greek patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is related to specific alleles of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the 5'-flanking region and the ... -
Angiotensin-converting enzyme tag single nucleotide polymorphisms in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage
(2011)Objectives Studies investigating the association between angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism and the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) have provided conflicting results. Moreover, ... -
Ankle-brachial index long-term outcome after first-ever ischaemic stroke
(2013)Background and purposeAnkle-brachial blood pressure index (ABI) is a clinical tool to identify the presence of peripheral artery disease. There is a scarcity of data associating ABI with long-term outcome in patients with ... -
Application of multivariate statistical methods for groundwater physicochemical and biological quality assessment in the context of public health
(2010)Three representative areas (lowland, semi-mountainous, and coastal) have been selected for the collection of drinking water samples, and a total number of 28 physical, chemical, and biological parameters per water sample ... -
Assessing the Quality of Reporting of Observational Studies in Cancer
(2010)PURPOSE: The vast majority of epidemiological studies in cancer are observational. However, inadequate reporting of the published observational studies (OS) may restrict the generalizability and credibility of study results. ... -
Association of ischaemic stroke subtype with long-term cardiovascular events
(2014)Background and purpose: There is no strong evidence that all ischaemic stroke types are associated with high cardiovascular risk. Our aim was to investigate whether all ischaemic stroke types are associated with high ... -
Association of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) polymorphisms with genetic susceptibility to gastric cancer: a meta-analysis
(2006)To clarify the influence of MTHFR C677T and A1298C polymorphisms on gastric cancer (GC), a meta-analysis of eight case-control studies (1,584/2,785 cases/controls) was carried out. Overall, there was moderate heterogeneity ... -
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 between claw lesions and reproductive performance of sows in three Greek herds
(2015)Claw lesions, which are nowadays very common in sows, are associated with a high risk of early culling and compromised welfare. In this study, we investigated the associations between the severity of claw lesions and three ... -
Associations of Estrogen Receptor Alpha and Beta Gene Polymorphisms with Lipid Levels and Insulin Resistance in Men
(2015)Objective. The association of four single nucleotide polymorphisms in estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1) and beta (ESR2) genes with lipid levels and insulin resistance in men. Design and methods. Lipids, glucose, insulin and ... -
Associations of Tonsillar Hypertrophy and Snoring With History of Wheezing in Childhood
(2010)Background: Reports in adults and children have correlated history of wheezing or asthma with the presence of obstructive sleep-disordered breathing but the mechanism of this epidemiologic association is unknown. The goal ... -
ASTRAL Score Predicts 5-Year Dependence and Mortality in Acute Ischemic Stroke
(2013)Background and Purpose-The ASTRAL score was externally validated showing remarkable consistency on 3-month outcome prognosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke. The present study aimed to evaluate ASTRAL score's ... -
Blood flow measurements within optic nerve head during on-pump cardiovascular operations. A window to the brain?
(2011)This observational study is conducted to demonstrate optic nerve head (ONH) blood flow alterations during extracorporeal circulation (ECC) in routine on-pump cardiovascular operations in order to evaluate the perfusion ... -
Cardiorespiratory and immune response to physical activity following exposure to a typical smoking environment
(2010)Objective Millions of non-smokers suffer daily passive smoking (PS) at home or at work, many of whom then have to walk fast for several minutes or climb a few sets of stairs. We conducted a randomised single-blind crossover ...
