5G and human health
(2021)The considerable characteristics of 5G technology (Fifth Generation of telecommunication) is the very high amount of data that can be transmitted in the time unit (data speed: Megabits per second - throughput) and the very ... -
Complement: An inflammatory pathway fulfilling multiple roles at the interface of innate immunity and development
(2005)Complement has been long perceived as an innate immune system that plays a pivotal role in the maintenance of host defense against infectious agents and the propagation of proinflammatory responses in the context of human ... -

(2017)Control of oestrous cycle is an important,management tool in sheep and goat farms. Over the years, various,methods have been developed and many applications have been,documented in the international literature. In this ... -
Cost of reproduction in male medflies: The primacy of sexual courting in extreme longevity reduction
(2010)In polygynous insect species, male reproductive success is directly related to lifetime mating success. However, the costs for males of sexual activities such as courting, signaling, and mating are largely unknown. We ... -
COVID-19 and human reproduction: A pandemic that packs a serious punch
(2021)The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a worldwide health emergency that has impacted 188 countries at last count. The rapid community transmission and relatively high mortality rates with COVID-19 in modern times are relatively ... -

Evaluation of various commodities for the development of the yellow mealworm, Tenebrio molitor
(2020)We evaluated the suitability of forty-four commodities (i.e., cereal flours and meals, non-flour, cereal commodities, legumes and various commodities of vegetative and animal origin) as oviposition and feeding substrates ... -
Hox gene expression profiles during embryonic development of common sole
(2019)Common sole (Solea solea) aquaculture production is based mostly on wild-caught breeders. Recently, the successful reproduction of first-generation fish that were reared in captivity was accomplished. A consistent good ... -
Obligate annual and successive facultative diapause establish a bet-hedging strategy of Rhagoletis cerasi (Diptera: Tephritidae) in seasonally unpredictable environments
(2017)To cope with temporal and spatial heterogeneity of habitats, herbivorous insects in the temperate zone usually enter diapause that facilitates synchronization of their life cycle with specific stages of host plants, such ... -
The odor of a plant metabolite affects life history traits in dietary restricted adult olive flies
(2016)Food quality shapes life history traits either directly or through response of individuals to additional environmental factors, such as chemical cues. Plant extracts used as food additives modulate key life history traits; ... -
Patterns of Reproductive Management in Sheep and Goat Farms in Greece
(2022)This paper reports findings regarding patterns of reproductive management in 325 sheep flocks and 119 goat herds throughout Greece. The objectives were to describe the patterns of reproductive management in sheep and goat ... -
Polycystic ovaries and obesity
(2015)Almost 50% of the women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are obese. Obesity in PCOS affects reproduction via various mechanisms. Hyperandrogenism, increased luteinizing hormone (LH) and insulin resistance play a pivotal ... -
Population and fertility by age and sex for 195 countries and territories, 1950–2017: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017
(2018)Background: Population estimates underpin demographic and epidemiological research and are used to track progress on numerous international indicators of health and development. To date, internationally available estimates ... -
Population dynamics and reproduction of Holothuria tubulosa (Holothuroidea: Echinodermata) in the Aegean Sea
(2010)The Atlanto-Mediterranean holothurian Holothuria tubulosa is among the conspicuous benthic invertebrates in the shallow sublittoral zone. It is an edible species, harvested at the Aegean Sea and utilized as fishing bait. ... -
Pregnancy toxaemia of ewes. A literature review [Τοξιναιμία της εγκυμοσύνης των προβατίνων]
(2018)Pregnancy toxaemia is a metabolic disorder of ewes, occurring at the final stage of pregnancy. In this review article, the literature on the aetiology and the pathogenesis of the disease is reviewed, the clinical, laboratory ... -
Prevalence of Coxiella burnetii antibodies in bulk milk and blood serum and associations with reproductive indices in cow dairy herds of Central Northern Greece
(2011)For the first time in Greece, we investigated the prevalence of Coxiella burnetii antibodies in milk and sera from dairy cattle herds located at central and northern parts of the country. Eighty herds were initially voluntary ... -
A Prospective Cohort Study on the Periparturient Muscle Tissue Mobilisation in High Producing Dairy Cows
(2022)Excessive periparturient fat mobilisation and its association with dairy cattle health and fertility is well documented; however, the role of muscle mobilisation has not been studied extensively. The objectives of this ... -
Repeated end range spinal movement while seated abolishes the proprioceptive deficit induced by prolonged flexed sitting posture. A study assessing the statistical and clinical significance of spinal position sense
(2017)Background Sustained spinal flexion has been proposed to affect the properties of spinal tissues, increase postural muscle's activation latency and act detrimentally on proprioception. Objectives This study evaluated the ... -
Reproduction is adapted to survival characteristics across geographically isolated medfly populations
(2009)We propose the hypothesis that individual longitudinal trajectories of fertility are closely coupled to varying survival schedules across geographically isolated populations of the same species, in such a way that peak ... -
