Angiopoietin-2 associations with the underlying infection and sepsis severity
(2015)Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) is an important mediator in sepsis. We have previously shown that endotoxemia levels are related to the underlying infection and affect septic patients' outcome. Based on this background we now ... -
The Association of Metabolic Syndrome with Adipose Tissue Hormones and Insulin Resistance in Patients with COPD without Co-morbidities
(2011)Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and metabolic syndrome represent common causes of morbidity and mortality in ageing populations. The effect of the co-existence of COPD and metabolic syndrome on adipose tissue ... -
Association of TLR4-T399I Polymorphism with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Smokers
(2009)Tobacco smoking has been considered the most important risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) development. However, not all smokers develop COPD and other environmental and genetic susceptibility ... -
BIOCLIMATIC AND AIR QUALITY CONDITIONS IN THE GREATER ATHENS AREA, GREECE, DURING THE WARM PERIOD OF THE YEAR: TRENDS, VARIABILITY AND PERSISTENCE
(2012)The aim of this work is to study the bioclimatic conditions as well as the air quality for three different regions of the greater Athens area (GAA), during the warm period of the year for the time period 2001-2005. ... -
Body Composition in Severe Refractory Asthma: Comparison with COPD Patients and Healthy Smokers
(2010)Background: Body composition is an important parameter for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) whereas the association between asthma and obesity is not fully understood. The impact of severe refractory ... -
Characteristics of prevalent and new COPD cases in Greece: the GOLDEN study

Clinical applications of intracranial pressure monitoring in traumatic brain injury
(2014)Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring has been for decades a cornerstone of traumatic brain injury (TBI) management. Nevertheless, in recent years, its usefulness has been questioned in several reports. A group of ... -
Colocteral cancer management and prevention policies in Greece
(2010)Despite lower cancer mortality rates in Greece compared to other European countries, colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most important cause of cancer mortality. Given the significant economic and societal impact of CRC ... -
Comparison of spinetoram, imidacloprid, thiamethoxam and chlorantraniliprole against life stages of Tribolium confusum Jacquelin du Val (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) on concrete
(2013)Spinetoram, imidacloprid, thiamethoxam and chlorantraniliprole are new insecticides with novel mode of actions, low mammalian toxicity and low impact to environment. In the present study, the efficacy of these insecticides ... -
Diagnostic investigation of cases of deaths of newborn lambs
(2010)Neonatal lamb mortality, caused either by disorders of non-infectious aetiology or by pathological conditions of microbial or parasitic aetiology, is defined as the death of newborn lambs during the first 28 days of their ... -
Effect of angiotensin converting enzyme gene I/D polymorphism and its expression on clinical outcome in acute respiratory distress syndrome
(2013)Background. The role of the D allele of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene I/D polymorphism in the clinical outcomes of patients with acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) remains ... -
