Assessing multiple-group diagnostic problems with multi-dimensional receiver operating characteristic surfaces: Application to proton MR Spectroscopy (MRS) in HIV-related neurological injury
(2008)We present the multi-dimensional Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) surface, a plot of the true classification rates of tests based on levels of biological markers, for multi-group discrimination, as an extension of ... -
Clinical Significance of Cannabinoid Receptors CB1 and CB2 Expression in Human Malignant and Benign Thyroid Lesions
(2015)The endocannabinoid system is comprised of cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2), their endogenous ligands (endocannabinoids), and proteins responsible for their metabolism participate in many different functions indispensable ... -
Computed tomography study of radial head morphology
(2008)Computed tomography scans of 22 cadaveric adult elbows were obtained in 3 forearm positions: full supination, neutral, and full pronation. The radial head dimensions, the radiocapitellar joints, and the proximal radioulnar ... -
Early gastrostomy reduces the rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia in stroke or head injury patients
(2005)Presence of a nasogastric tube is a risk factor for the development of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Alternatively, gastrostomy can be used for administration of enteral feedings. To determine whether early ... -
The effect of diclofenac and paracetamol on pregnancy and implantation rates in infertile women undergoing IVF treatment
(2006)We set out to assess the effect of diclofenac on implantation rates, when administered as analgesia following transvaginal oocyte recovery. This was a prospective study of infertile women undergoing IVF treatment in a ... -
Effects of minimally invasive surgery and functional physiotherapy on motor function of children with cerebral palsy: A non-randomised controlled trial
(2021)Purpose: This non-randomised controlled trial investigated whether a combined programme of functional physiotherapy and minimally invasive orthopaedic surgery improves the level and degree of capacity and performance of ... -
Human T-lymphotropic virus type I/II infections in volunteer blood donors from Northern and Western Greece: Increased prevalence in one blood bank unit
(2004)Blood donors are routinely screened for antibodies to human T-cell lymphotropic viruses type I and II (HTLV-I and HTLV-II) in the United States, Canada, Japan, and some European countries. Previous reports from our group ... -
Identification of Chromosomal Regions Linked to Diabetic Nephropathy: A Meta-Analysis of Genome-Wide Linkage Scans
(2019)Aims: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) has become a serious public health problem. Genetic factors are involved in the pathogenesis of DN, but the exact mode of inheritance is still unknown. Genome-wide linkage scans (GWLS) have ... -
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) expression in lung cancer
(2007)Background: The expression of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) by tumor cells has been considered as a major tumor immune escape mechanism. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of IDO in lung cancer ... -
Left- and right-handed children's drawing performance: Is there any difference?
(2004)The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of hand preference on children's drawing development. An equal number of left- and right-handed children (N = 182), aged 7 to 12 years were asked to complete four ... -
Mechanical versus bioprosthetic valve for aortic valve replacement: Systematic review and meta-analysis of reconstructed individual participant data
(2022)OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare biological versus mechanical aortic valve replacement. METHODS: We searched MEDLINE, Scopus and Cochrane Library databases for randomized clinical trials and propensity ... -
A Meta-Epidemiological Study of Positive Results in Clinical Nutrition Research: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Statistically Significant Findings
(2022)Positive (statistically significant) findings are easily produced in nutrition research when specific aspects of the research design and analysis are not accounted for. To address this issue, recently, a pledge was made ... -
Neither replication nor simulation supports a role for the axon guidance pathway in the genetics of Parkinson's disease
(2008)Susceptibility to sporadic Parkinson's diseases (PD) is thought to be influence by both genetic and environmental factors and thier interaction with each other. Statistical models including multiples variants in axon ... -
Octogenarians Are the New Sexagenarians: Cruciate-Retaining Total Knee Arthroplasty Is Not Inferior to Posterior-Stabilized Arthroplasty in Octogenarian Patients
