25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in patients with obstructive sleep apnea and continuous positive airway pressure treatment: A brief review
(2020)The aim of the present study is to summarize the information available, to time, regarding the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and vitamin-D (vD) levels. Moreover, the association between vD deficiency ... -
Accuracy of the sleep clinical record for the diagnosis of pediatric moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
(2022)Purpose: The sleep clinical record (SCR) has been used to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in children when access to polysomnography (PSG) is limited. Our aim was to determine the best SCR score that could ... -
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 ... -
Addressing the post-irradiation hypothalamic-pituitary endocrine abnormalities of brain tumors in pediatric patients
(2017)Purpose: Hypothalamic-pituitary axis is susceptible to radiotherapy, causing endocrine disorders to childhood cancer survivors. We conducted a systematic review in order to assess the radiation-induced toxicity that leads ... -
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 ... -
Aiming towards hepatitis C virus elimination in Greece
(2019)There are estimated to be 74,000-134,000 patients living with chronic hepatitis C in Greece, but only 20-30% of them are aware of their disease status. In July 2017, the Hellenic National Plan for Hepatitis C was announced ... -
Alcoholic liver disease and autoimmune hepatitis: Sometimes a closer look under the surface is needed
(2021)Aims: Differential diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) incorporates various liver diseases, including alcoholic liver disease (ALD). We report on clinical, laboratory and outcome characteristics of AIH patients who ... -
Alzheimer’s disease in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
(2020)Background: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a disorder with high prevalence among adults and is an independent risk factor for various diseases, especially those affecting the central nervous system (CNS). ... -
Amino acid signatures in the HLA class II peptide-binding region associated with protection/susceptibility to the severe West Nile Virus disease
(2018)The MHC class II region in humans is highly polymorphic. Each MHC molecule is formed by an α and a β chain, produced by different genes, creating an antigen-binding groove. In the groove there are several pockets into which ... -
The annual direct costs of stable COPD in Greece
(2018)Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) places a major burden on health care systems and has substantial economic effects; however, the cost of stable disease in Greece has never been thoroughly explored. ... -
Antipsychotic polypharmacy reduction versus polypharmacy continuation for people with schizophrenia
(2022)Background: In clinical practice, different antipsychotics can be combined in the treatment of people with schizophrenia (polypharmacy). This strategy can aim at increasing efficacy, but might also increase the adverse ... -
Apolipoprotein E Polymorphism and Left Ventricular Failure in Beta-Thalassemia: A Multivariate Meta-Analysis
(2017)Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is potentially a genetic risk factor for the development of left ventricular failure (LVF), the main cause of death in beta-thalassemia homozygotes. In the present study, we synthesize the results ... -
Approaching reactive species in the frame of their clinical significance: A toxicological appraisal
(2020)Redox biology and toxicology are interrelated fields that have produced valuable evidence regarding the role and clinical significance of reactive species. These issues are analyzed herein by presenting 6 arguments, as ... -
Aspirin Versus Clopidogrel for Type 2 Diabetic Patients with First-Ever Noncardioembolic Acute Ischemic Stroke: Ten-Year Survival Data from the Athens Stroke Outcome Project
(2017)Background and objective Diabetes mellitus is associated with an increased risk of stroke and poor outcome following a stroke event. We assessed the impact of discharge treatment with aspirin versus clopidogrel on the ... -
Assessment of the impact of the fumigant dimethyl disulfide on the dynamics of major fungal plant pathogens in greenhouse soils
(2016)Soil fumigants constitute a major tool for the control of soil borne fungal plant pathogens in protected crops. Dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) is a novel soil fumigant used either alone or in combination with other fumigants ... -
Association between Motor Signs and Cognitive Performance in Cognitively Unimpaired Older Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study Using the NACC Database
(2022)Aiming to examine whether specific motor signs are associated with worse performance in specific cognitive domains among cognitively unimpaired (CU) individuals, we performed a cross-sectional analysis of data from the ... -
Association between TLR2/TLR4 gene polymorphisms and COPD phenotype in a Greek cohort [Assoziation zwischen TLR2-/TLR4-Gen-Polymorphismen und COPD-Phänotyp]
(2017)Background: Considering that the innate immune system plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), we hypothesized that functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of ... -
