ADORA2A rS5760423 and CYP1A2 rs762551 polymorphisms as risk factors for parkinson’s disease
(2021)Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second commonest neurodegenerative disease. The genetic basis of PD is indisputable. Both ADORA2A rs5760423 and CYP1A2 rs762551 have been linked to PD, to some extent, but the ... -
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 dependence of brachial cuff-based ambulatory PWV in end-stage kidney disease patients undergoing long-term peritoneal dialysis
(2022)Background: The newly introduced device Mobil-O-Graph (IEM, Stolberg, Germany) combines brachial cuff oscillometry and pulse wave analysis, enabling the determination of pulse wave velocity (PWV) via complex mathematic ... -
Age, Body Mass Index, and Daytime and Nocturnal Hypoxia as Predictors of Hypertension in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea
(2016)A growing body of evidence links obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with hypertension. The authors performed a retrospective cohort study using the University Hospital of Larissa Sleep Apnea Database (1501 patients) to determine ... -
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 ... -
Aiming at Tobacco Harm Reduction: A survey comparing smokers differing in readiness to quit
(2006)Background: Greece has the highest smoking rates (in the 15-nation bloc) in Europe. The purpose of this study was to investigate Greek smokers' intention and appraisal of capability to quit employing the theoretical ... -
Alterations in hearing function of patients with glucose disorders
(2019)Objective: To study the prevalence of hearing impairment in patients with various glucose disorders. Patients and methods: A total of 499 individuals were studied, 51 patients with type 1 (TIDM), 188 patients with type 2 ... -
Altered activity of xenobiotic detoxifying enzymes at menopause – A cross-sectional study
(2020)Xenobiotic metabolism at menopause is an under-investigated topic, albeit women spend one-third of their life in the postmenopausal period. The present study examined the effect of menopause on the in vivo activities of ... -
aMAP risk score predicts hepatocellular carcinoma development in patients with chronic hepatitis
(2020)Background & Aims: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the leading cause of death in patients with chronic hepatitis. In this international collaboration, we sought to develop a global universal HCC risk score to predict the ... -
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 ... -
Amiodarone plus Ranolazine for Conversion of Post-Cardiac Surgery Atrial Fibrillation: Enhanced Effectiveness in Reduced Versus Preserved Ejection Fraction Patients
(2018)Purpose: Ranolazine (RAN) added to amiodarone (AMIO) has been shown to accelerate termination of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) following coronary artery bypass surgery in patients without heart failure (HF). ... -
Analysis of SOD2 rs4880 Genetic Variant in Patients with Alzheimer’s Disease
(2022)A few gene loci that contribute to Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) onset have been identified. Few studies have been published about the relationship between SOD2 rs4880 single nucleotide variant and AD, revealing inconsistent ... -
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: ... -
An anatomical update on the morphologic variations of S1 and S2
(2010)Although percutaneous fixation with iliosacral screws has been shown to be a safe and reproducible method for sacroiliac dislocation and sacral fractures, it is a technically demanding technique, and one of its contraindications ... -
Anatomy Learning from Prosected Cadaveric Specimens Versus Plastic Models: A Comparative Study of Upper Limb Anatomy
(2020)Human cadaveric prosections are a traditional, effective, and highly appreciated modality of anatomy learning. Plastic models are an alternative teaching modality, though few studies examine their effectiveness in learning ... -
