(2020)Aim. To evaluate psychological distress and quality of life of patients with hematological malignancies, as well as to identify the prognostic factors that aggravate their condition. Methods. A cross-sectional, descriptive ... -
DNA damage and differential gene expression associated with physical stress in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata)
(2016)Fish stress may result in inhibition of reproduction, development and growth. Thus, appropriate indices should be developed to accurately define the physiological plasticity of fish, in terms of coping with stress. Sea ... -
The effect of exercise-induced hypoxemia on blood redox status in well-trained rowers
(2012)Exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia (EIAH), characterized by decline in arterial oxyhemoglobin saturation (SaO(2)), is a common phenomenon in endurance athletes. Acute intensive exercise is associated with the generation ... -
Evaluating the role of perceived stress on the likelihood of having a non - Fatal acute coronary syndrome: A case-control study
(2014)Objectives: The aim of the current study was to evaluate the independent role of perceived stress, measured by the PSS-14, on the likelihood of having acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: This is a case-control study ... -
Evidence for disulfide bonds in SR Protein Kinase 1 (SRPK1) that are required for activity and nuclear localization
(2017)Serine/arginine protein kinases (SRPKs) phosphorylate Arg/Ser dipeptide-containing proteins that play crucial roles in a broad spectrum of basic cellular processes. The existence of a large internal spacer sequence that ... -
Failure Analysis of Two Ti-Alloy Total Hip Arthroplasty Femoral Stems Fractured In Vivo
(2003)Failure of total hip arthroplasty femoral stems is a serious clinical complication. Even modern metal alloys and designs sometimes suffer such incidents. The reported study aimed at the investigation of the reasons leading ... -
A homogenization model of the Voigt type for skeletal muscle
(2017)A three-dimensional constitutive model for skeletal muscle incorporating microstructural characteristics is developed and numerically implemented in a general purpose finite element program. The proposed model takes into ... -
Host – virus – drug interactions as determinants of COVID-19’s phenotypes: A data-driven hypothesis
(2020)There is a growing body of evidence on the significance of interactions between comorbidities, their treatments and COVID-19 clinical phenotypes. The hypothesis explored herein is that pharmaceutical compounds currently ... -
Influence of Potent Antioxidant Leguminosae Family Plant Extracts on Growth and Antioxidant Defense System of Hep2 Cancer Cell Line
(2010)Legumes are considered to be a very good source of polyphenolic compounds that may act as chemopreventive agents, especially by their antioxidant properties. However, many of the chemopreventive properties may depend on ... -

Links between HPA axis and adipokines: clinical implications in paradigms of stress-related disorders
(2018)Introduction: In the human organism, a constant interplay exists between the stress system [which includes the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis] and the adipose tissue. This interplay is mediated ... -
Low back pain psychosocial risk factors
(2008)Introduction: Low back pain is currently a major health problem for the western societies as it usually leads to inability to work, use of health services and sick leaves. Psychosocial work characteristics are considered ... -
Mapping farm animal welfare education at university level in Europe

The neurobiology of dementia: Spatial and temporal dynamics of Alzheimer's disease major biomarkers
(2017)Dementia, with most prevailing cause Alzheimer's disease (AD), is a condition characterized by memory loss and decline of other cognitive functions, of particular severity to affect one's routine. AD illustrates as an array ... -
Reductive stress after exercise: The issue of redox individuality
(2014)Exercise has been consistently used as an oxidant stimulus in redox biology studies. However, previous studies have focused on group differences and did not examine individual differences. As a result, it remains untested ... -
Seismic effective-stress analysis of caisson quay walls: Application to Kobe
(2005)Deformation-based seismic design of gravity quay-walls requires realistic computation of residual deformations. This article presents an effective-stress analysis method, which is based on an elasto-plastic constitutive ... -
