Anthropogenic effects on bacterial diversity and function along a river-to-estuary gradient in Northwest Greece revealed by metagenomics
(2016)Studies assessing the effects of anthropogenic inputs on the taxonomic and functional diversity of bacterioplankton communities in lotic ecosystems are limited. Here, we applied 16S rRNA gene amplicon and whole-genome ... -
The dissipation and microbial ecotoxicity of tebuconazole and its transformation products in soil under standard laboratory and simulated winter conditions
(2018)Tebuconazole (TBZ) is a widely used triazole fungicide at EU level on cereals and vines. It is relatively persistent in soil where it is transformed to various transformation products (TPs) which might be environmentally ... -
Early embryo losses, progesterone and pregnancy associated glycoproteins levels during summer heat stress in dairy cows
(2021)Objectives of this study were to characterize the effects of heat stress on pregnancy associated glycoproteins (PAG) and progesterone and its involvement in embryo survival. In trial 1, blood samples collected from days ... -
Effects of photoperiod and relative humidity on diapause termination and post-winter development of Rhagoletis cerasi pupae
(2020)The European cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a univoltine species that undergoes obligatory summer-winter diapause at pupal stage in the soil (2-5 cm) beneath host trees. To study the effects ... -
Elevated salivary IgA, decreased anxiety, and an altered oral microbiota are associated with active participation on an undergraduate athletic team
(2017)Background Previous reports indicate that regular, but not excessive, exercise can moderate the response to anxiety and alter the immune response, therefore we hypothesized that college student athletes who were actively ... -
Evidence for age-related differences in heat acclimatisation responsiveness
(2020)New Findings: What is the central question of this study? Repeated heat exposure during the summer months can enhance heat loss in humans (seasonal heat acclimatisation), but does the magnitude of that enhancement differ ... -
Geoepidemiology, clinical manifestations and outcome of primary biliary cholangitis in Greece
(2017)Background & aims Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a disease with rising prevalence and considerable geographical variation. To describe the prevalence, spatial and time distribution, baseline characteristics, response ... -
In-Season Integrative Neuromuscular Strength Training Improves Performance of Early-Adolescent Soccer Athletes
(2020)Panagoulis, C, Chatzinikolaou, A, Avloniti, A, Leontsini, D, Deli, CK, Draganidis, D, Stampoulis, T, Oikonomou, T, Papanikolaou, K, Rafailakis, L, Kambas, A, Jamurtas, AZ, and Fatouros, IG. In-season integrative neuromuscular ... -
Increased Body Mass Index (BMI) and Sunscreen Use Are Associated with Inadequate Vitamin D Status in Greek Adults in Winter: BMI, Sunscreen Use and Vitamin D Status in Greek Adults
(2021)Vitamin D deficiency is common even in sunny countries like Greece, especially during winter and is associated with skeletal disorders and additionally with increased risk for chronic diseases and adipose metabolic diseases ... -
Prebiotic supplementation over a cold season and during antibiotic treatment specifically modulates the gut microbiota composition of 3-6 year-old children
(2019)Supplementing kindergarten children during a cold season with a prebiotic inulin-type fructans product with shorter and longer fructan chains has been shown to reduce febrile episodes requiring medical attention and to ... -
Presence and density of domestic mites in the microenvironment of mite-sensitive dogs with atopic dermatitis
(2010)This study was designed to investigate the presence and density of domestic mites (DMs) in households with atopic dogs sensitive to these mites (group A; n = 20), in households with clinically healthy, nonatopic dogs (group ... -
Quantifying functionals of age distributions in the wild by solving an operator equation
(2017)Residual demography is a recent concept that has proved to be a useful tool to gain insights about the age distributions of wild populations, especially insects. We develop an operator equation that permits the derivation ... -
Quantifying the changes in genetic diversity within sequence-discrete bacterial populations across a spatial and temporal riverine gradient
(2019)Recent diversity studies have revealed that microbial communities of natural environments are dominated by species-like, sequence-discrete populations. However, how stable the sequence and gene-content diversity are within ... -
Risk evaluation of vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency in children using simple scores: The Healthy Growth Study
(2021)Although identification of population groups at high risk for low vitamin D status is of public health importance,there are no risk prediction tools available for children in Southern Europe that can cover this need. The ... -
Season of birth and multiple sclerosis: a systematic review and multivariate meta-analysis
(2020)Season of birth is considered to be associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) although some findings opposing to this assumption raise doubts about the seasonality pattern in MS births. The present work synthesizes the ... -
Seasonal adherence to, and effectiveness of, subcutaneous interferon β-1a administered by RebiSmart® in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis: Results of the 1-year, observational GEPAT-SMART study
(2018)Background: Little is known about whether tolerability and adherence to treatment can be influenced by weather and temperature conditions. The objective of this study was to assess monthly and seasonal adherence to and ... -
Seasonal cellular stress phenomena and phenotypic plasticity in land snail Helix lucorum populations from different altitudes
(2021)Temperature, a major abiotic environmental factor, regulates various physiological functions in land snails and therefore determines their biogeographical distribution. Thus, species with different distributions may present ... -
Seasonal cellular stress responses of commercially important invertebrates at different habitats of the North Aegean Sea
(2020)In many aquatic species, the negative effect of temperature variations has a significant impact on physiological performance since beyond Tp (upper pejus) and Tc (critical temperatures), according to the oxygen- and ... -
Seasonal variation in bioactive properties and phenolic composition of cardoon (Cynara cardunculus var. altilis) bracts
(2021)Cardoon (Cynara cardunculus L.) bracts were collected at different maturation stages to investigate seasonal changes in the phenolic compounds profile and in vitro bioactivities. Among the 12 phenolic compounds tentatively ... -
Seasonal variation of bioactive properties and phenolic composition of Cynara cardunculus var. altilis
(2020)Cynara cardunculus L. (cardoon) has several health benefits mainly attributed to its abundance in polyphenols. In this study, cardoon heads (capitula) were harvested in Greece during the flowering stage, and the hydroethanolic ...
