Age structure changes and extraordinary lifespan in wild medfly populations
(2008)The main purpose of this study was to test the hypotheses that major changes in age structure occur in wild populations of the Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly) and that a substantial fraction of individuals survive to ... -
Characteristics of Farm Injuries in Greece
(2003)Methodology: During a five-year period (1996-2000), 4,326 unintentional farm injuries have been recorded by the Emergency Department Injury Surveillance System in Greece. Data concerning demographic variables, accident ... -
Determinants of healthcare utilization in Greece: Implications for decision-making
(2007)Objective: To explore factors influencing the utilization of primary and secondary healthcare in Greece. Methods: A national, geographically stratified sample was randomly selected. From November 2001 to March 2002, 5000 ... -
Dietary effects on sex-specific health dynamics of medfly: Support for the dynamic equilibrium model of aging
(2011)We examined experimentally the relationship between the period of unhealthy life and longevity in the medfly by using the first sign of supine behavior (upside down; immobile) in medflies as an indication of their poor ... -
Flat foot and femoral anteversion in children-A prospective study
(2009)Background: Flat foot in children during the first years of life evokes significant parental concern. Flat foot, intoeing and femoral anteversion may well be differential dimensions of developmental pathodynamics with ... -
Graphical and demographic synopsis of the captive cohort method for estimating population age structure in the wild
(2012)The purpose of this paper is to complement the literature concerned with the captive cohort method for estimating age structure including (1) graphic techniques to visualize and thus better understand the underlying life ... -
Normal menstrual cycle steroid hormones variation does not affect the blood levels of total adiponectin and its multimer forms
(2015)Objective Plasma total adiponectin reveals a sexual dimorphism indicating that gonadal steroids may be involved in its secretion and/or metabolism. However, results from previous reports are conflicting and data regarding ... -
Prevalence of coeliac disease in the adult population of central Greece

Primary screening for cervical cancer based on high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) detection and HPV 16 and HPV 18 genotyping, in comparison to cytology
(2015)Objectives The objective of the present study is to assess the performance of a high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) DNA test with individual HPV-16/HPV-18 genotyping as a method for primary cervical cancer screening ... -
Recording lifetime behavior and movement in an invertebrate model
(2011)Characterization of lifetime behavioral changes is essential for understanding aging and aging-related diseases. However, such studies are scarce partly due to the lack of efficient tools. Here we describe and provide proof ... -
Survivorship of monoblock trabecular metal cups in primary THA: Midterm results
(2008)Monoblock trabecular metal cups are made of a novel porous material intended to enhance ingrowth and improve fixation. We prospectively followed 223 consecutive patients with 245 trabecular metal acetabular cups implanted ...
