(2022)In 2016 a Βacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccination policy targeting high-risk neonates for tuberculosis before discharge from maternity hospital was adopted in Greece. Vaccination rates were 38.2% in 2019 and 24.7% in 2020. ... -
Administration of low-molecular-weight heparin in patients with two or more unsuccessful IVF/ICSI cycles: a multicenter cohort study
(2018)To compare the effects of the administration of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) in subfertile patients with two or more unsuccessful IVF/ICSI cycles. In this six-center two-arm retrospective cohort study, the study ... -
Administration of prednisolone and low molecular weight heparin in patients with repeated implantation failures: a cohort study
(2018)Conflicting results exist for low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and prednisolone when tested as separate adjuncts for the improvement of the clinical outcomes in patients with repeated implantation failures (RIF) undergoing ... -
Are computational applications the “crystal ball” in the IVF laboratory? The evolution from mathematics to artificial intelligence
(2018)Mathematics rules the world of science. Innovative technologies based on mathematics have paved the way for implementation of novel strategies in assisted reproduction. Ascertaining efficient embryo selection in order to ... -
Assessing the association between breastfeeding, type of childbirth and family structure with childhood obesity: results from an observational study among 10–12 years old children
(2022)This study examined the association between breastfeeding, type of childbirth, and family structure with childhood obesity. During 2014–2016, 1728 Greek students attending primary schools and their parents were enrolled. ... -
Assessing the reporting quality of systematic reviews of observational studies in preeclampsia
(2019)Purpose: The majority of epidemiological studies in preeclampsia are observational and the overview of these studies is expressed by systematic reviews (SRs). The aim of this study was to evaluate the reporting quality of ... -
Association between brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in 2 nd trimester amniotic fluid and fetal development
(2018)The development of the fetal nervous system mirrors general fetal development, comprising a combination of genetic resources and effects of the intrauterine environment. Our aim was to assess the 2 nd trimester amniotic ... -
Association of maternal angiotensin II type 1 and type 2 receptor combination genotypes with susceptibility to early-onset preeclampsia
(2022)Allelic variations affecting the activity of the maternal renin-angiotensin system may play a role in the development of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy like preeclampsia, its more severe early-onset form, and intrauterine ... -
Association of maternal Toll-like receptor-4 alleles with susceptibility to early-onset preeclampsia in central Greece
(2019)Introduction: Altered maternal inflammatory responses may play a role in the development of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy like preeclampsia, its more severe early-onset form and intrauterine growth restriction. We ... -
Blood flow velocity comparison in the eye capillaries and postcapillary venules between normal pregnant and non-pregnant women
(2020)Background: There is no consensus on how much and at what diameters the blood flow velocity changes in the female microcirculation during normal pregnancy. Methods: A non-contact, digital slit-lamp biomicroscopy system was ... -
Chorionic villi derived mesenchymal like stem cells and expression of embryonic stem cells markers during long-term culturing
(2016)Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be obtained from a variety of human tissues. MSCs derived from placental chorionic villi of the first trimester are likely to resemble, biologically, embryonic stem cells (ESC), due to the ... -
Clinical Outcome, Socioeconomic Status and Psychological Constrains of Patients Undergoing Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) in Northern Greece
(2022)Background and objectives: Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) offers patients the possibility of having a healthy baby free of chromosomal or genetic disorders. The present study focuses on the application of PGT for ... -
Clinical, ultrasonographic, bacteriological, cytological and histological findings during uterine involution in ewes with pregnancy toxaemia and subsequent reproductive efficiency
(2020)Objectives were to evaluate characteristics of uterine involution in ewes with pregnancy toxaemia during gestation and to study effects on subsequent reproductive performance. Pregnancy toxaemia was induced in ewes (A) by ... -
A computational fluid dynamics modelling of maternal-fetal heat exchange and blood flow in the umbilical cord
(2020)Human fetal thermoregulation, maternal-fetal heat exchange, and the role of the umbilical cord in these processes are not well understood. Ethical and technical limitations have restricted current knowledge to animal ... -
Corifollitropin alfa compared with follitropin beta in GnRH-antagonist ovarian stimulation protocols in an unselected population undergoing IVF/ICSI
(2017)Recombinant DNA technologies have produced Corifollitropin alfa (CFa) used during IVF/ICSI in order to keep the circulating FSH levels above the threshold necessary to support multi-follicular growth for a week. In this ... -
