    • BENIGN POSTPARTUM PLEURAL EFFUSION 

      Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Karantanas, A. H.; Diminikou, G.; Molyvdas, P. A. (1995)
      The conditions of labour appear to favour the development of pleural effusion, The frequency of postpartum pleural effusion was investigated in this study using thoracic ultrasonography. Thirty one postpartum and 22 healthy ...

    • Cyanogenesis by the entomopathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas entomophila 

      Ryall, B.; Mitchell, H.; Mossialos, D.; Williams, H. D. (2009)
      Aims: To investigate whether the entomopathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas entomophila can synthesize hydrogen cyanide (HCN). Methods and Results: Cyanide production was assayed for during the growth of P. entomophila in ...

    • Cytokine levels in the sera of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis 

      Tsoutsou, P. G.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Petinaki, E.; Germenis, A.; Tsoutsou, A. G.; Mpaka, M.; Efremidou, S.; Molyvdas, P. A. (2006)
      Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fibroprotiferative disorder. Cytokines contribute an important but yet undefined role to its pathogenesis. Objectives: The present study aims to compare serum levels of ...

    • Electron density of tissues and breast cancer radiotherapy: A quantitative CT study 

      Kalef-Ezra, J. A.; Karantanas, A. H.; Koligliatis, T.; Boziari, A.; Tsekeris, P. (1998)
      Purpose: To obtain more accurate data on the electron density of tissues to be used in the treatment planning of breast cancer patients. Methods and materials: Single kV(p) quantitative computed tomography was applied in ...

    • How many lobes do you see? 

      Karangelis, D.; Tagarakis, G. I.; Chlapoutakis, S.; Papadopoulos, D.; Roubelakis, A.; Hevas, A.; Daskalopoulos, M. E.; Tsantsaridou, A.; Lampoura, S.; Tsilimingas, N. B. (2011)
      Accessory fissures represent a variation of the normal lung anatomy. Incomplete development or even the absence of the major or minor fissures can lead to confusion in distinguishing adjacent lobes. This report aims to ...

    • Hypertonic saline for cystic fibrosis 

      Zarogiannis, S.; Hatzoglou, C.; Gourgoulianis, K. (2006)

    • MECHANISMS OF METAL FUME FEVER AND ITS PROVOCATION BY SELECTED METALS 

      Emmanouil, C. (2012)
      Metal Fume Fever (MFF) is a constellation of influenza-like signs and symptoms, commonly occurring in workers operating galvanizing processes and welders. Its mechanism probably involves cytokine-driven activation of white ...

    • Monte Carlo dosimetric evaluation of high energy vs low energy photon beams in low density tissues 

      Tsiakalos, M. F.; Stathakis, S.; Plataniotis, G. A.; Kappas, C.; Theodorou, K. (2006)
      Background and purpose: Low megavoltage photon beams are often the treatment choice in radiotherapy when low density heterogeneities are involved, because higher energies show some undesirable dosimetric effects. This work ...

    • Perforin down-regulation and adhesion molecules activation in pulmonary sarcoidosis - An induced sputum and BAL study 

      Antoniou, K. M.; Tsiligianni, I.; Kyriakou, D.; Tzanakis, N.; Tzouvelekis, A.; Siafakas, N. M.; Bouros, D. (2006)
      Background. Sarcoidosis is drought to be a T-helper type 1 cytokine-mediated disorder. Sputum induction has been proposed as a useful noninvasive method mainly for the assessment of airway diseases. However, it is unknown ...

    • REGIONAL DIFFERENCES IN THE MODULATORY ROLE OF THE EPITHELIUM IN SHEEP AIRWAY 

      Hatziefthimiou, A.; Kiritsi, M.; Kiropoulou, C.; Vasilaki, A.; Sakellaridis, N.; Molyvdas, P. A. (2009)
      P>The airway epithelium may modulate smooth muscle responsiveness via the release of biologically active substances, such as nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandins. Based on regional differences in structure and function ...

    • VEGF increases the permeability of sheep pleura ex vivo through VEGFR2 stimulation 

      Peppa, V. I.; Arsenopoulou, Z. V.; Zarogiannis, S. G.; Deligiorgi, T.; Jagirdar, R.; Makantasis, I.; Stefanidis, I.; Liakopoulos, V.; Molyvdas, P. A.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Hatzoglou, C. (2014)
      Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a cytokine that increases vascular permeability to water and proteins and induces angiogenesis, has been implicated in the development of pleural effusions. Inflammatory and ...
