The choice of drainage device in complicated glaucomas: Comparing Ahmed and Baerveldt implants
(2019)Background/Aim: Glaucoma is a chronic and progressive optic neuropathy which leads to deterioration of visual function. It is estimated to be the second leading cause of severe vision loss and blindness worldwide. Failure ... -
Differences in survival and cause-specific mortality in a culturally diverse Greek population, 1999-2008
(2016)Background: Modern urban populations exhibit considerable internal heterogeneity. Several social groups, such as ethnic minorities or immigrants, constitute individual clusters with different demographic and epidemiological ... -
Effects of early-life protein starvation on longevity and sexual performance of male medfly

Effects of varenicline therapy in combination with advanced behavioral support on smoking cessation and quality of life in inpatients with acute exacerbation of COPD, bronchial asthma, or community-acquired pneumonia: A prospective, open-label, preference-based, 52-week, follow-up trial
(2018)Quitting smoking is the most important element in the therapeutic management of chronic respiratory diseases. Combining pharmacotherapy with behavioral support increases smoking cessation success rates. In addition, ... -
Eight-year survival in chronic hepatitis B patients under long-term entecavir or tenofovir therapy is similar to the general population
(2018)Background & Aims: The effects of long-term antiviral therapy on survival have not been adequately assessed in chronic hepatitis B (CHB). In this 10-centre, ongoing cohort study, we evaluated the probability of survival ... -
Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source and Detection of Atrial Fibrillation on Follow-Up: How Much Causality Is There?
(2016)Background There is increasing debate whether atrial fibrillation (AF) episodes during follow-up in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) are causally associated with the event. AF-related strokes are ... -
Genetic association analysis identifies variants associated with disease progression in primary sclerosing cholangitis
(2018)Objective Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a genetically complex, inflammatory bile duct disease of largely unknown aetiology often leading to liver transplantation or death. Little is known about the genetic ... -
HPV infection in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas: Correlation with tumor size
(2018)Purpose: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is implicated in carcinogenesis of a variety of epithelia, including oropharyngeal and laryngeal. High risk (HR) HPV persistent infection in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) ... -
In silico transcriptomic analysis of wound-healing-associated genes in malignant pleural mesothelioma
(2019)Background and objectives: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a devastating malignancy with poor prognosis. Reliable biomarkers for MPM diagnosis, monitoring, and prognosis are needed. The aim of this study was to ... -
Is locally advanced head-neck cancer one more candidate for accelerated hypofractionation?
(2021)Background/Aim: Hypofractionated accelerated radiotherapy (HypoAR) is widely applied for the treatment of early laryngeal cancer. Its role in locally advanced head-neck cancer (LA-HNC) is unexplored. Patients and Methods: ... -
