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 ... -
Aspirin Versus Clopidogrel for Type 2 Diabetic Patients with First-Ever Noncardioembolic Acute Ischemic Stroke: Ten-Year Survival Data from the Athens Stroke Outcome Project
(2017)Background and objective Diabetes mellitus is associated with an increased risk of stroke and poor outcome following a stroke event. We assessed the impact of discharge treatment with aspirin versus clopidogrel on the ... -
Colonic impaction in dogs: a retrospective study of 58 cases (1996 to 2014)
(2019)Objectives: To describe the clinical findings, management and outcome of colonic impaction in dogs and report the effectiveness of medical treatment. Materials and Methods: Case records of 58 dogs with colonic impaction ... -
Computational genomic analysis of PARK7 interactome reveals high BBS1 gene expression as a prognostic factor favoring survival in malignant pleural mesothelioma
(2015)The aim of our study was to assess the differential gene expression of Parkinson protein 7 (PARK7) interactome in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) using data mining techniques to identify novel candidate genes that may ... -
Demographic window to aging in the wild: Constructing life tables and estimating survival functions from marked individuals of unknown age
(2004)We address the problem of establishing a survival schedule for wild populations. A demographic key identity is established, leading to a method whereby age-specific survival and mortality can be deduced from a marked cohort ... -
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 ... -
Editor's Choice – Sex Specific Outcomes After Complex Fenestrated and Branched Endovascular Aortic Repair: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
(2022)Objective: As females are at higher mortality risk after endovascular aortic repair, this study aimed to compare the 30-day and 12-month mortality, morbidity, and re-intervention rates between the sexes, treated with ... -
HPV infection in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas: Correlation with tumor size
(2018)Purpose: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is implicated in carcinogenesis of a variety of epithelia, including oropharyngeal and laryngeal. High risk (HR) HPV persistent infection in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) ... -
Management of canine leishmaniosis in endemic SW European regions: A questionnaire-based multinational survey
(2014)Background: Canine leishmaniosis (CanL) caused by Leishmania infantum is a widespread endemic disease in SW Europe. This study was designed to determine how veterinarians clinically manage CanL in this region by analysing ... -
The Medical Research Council chronic dyspnea score predicts the survival of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
(2008)Background: The Medical Research Council (MRC) chronic dyspnea scale (6-point) is used in different clinical conditions to grade breathlessness on daily activities. We have previously shown that in patients with histologically ... -
A meta-analysis of liver-first versus classical strategy for synchronous colorectal liver metastases
(2020)Background: This study aimed to compare the perioperative outcomes of liver-first (LFS) and classical (CS) strategy for the management of synchronous colorectal liver metastases (sCRLM). Method: A literature search was ... -
Predicting technique and patient survival over 12 months in peritoneal dialysis: the role of anxiety and depression
(2016)Background: Emotional distress is common in dialysis patients, but its role on clinical outcomes for patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) is uncertain. Purpose: To evaluate the effect of depression and anxiety on 1-year ... -
Primary extramammary invasive Paget's vulvar disease: What is the standard, what are the challenges and what is the future for radiotherapy?
(2016)Background: Primary invasive Extramammary Paget's vulvar disease is a rare tumor that is challenging to control. Wide surgical excision represents the standard treatment approach for Primary invasive Extramammary Paget's ... -

A single center experience in pediatric cardiomyopathy. Risk factors, outcomes and the effect of levosimendan
(2020)Cardiomyopathies are the leading cause of heart failure (HF) in children with anatomically intact hearts. A retrospective data analysis of a tertiary cardiac surgery and cardiology center cohort was performed. Our objectives ... -
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 ... -
TP53 mutations and protein immunopositivity may predict for poor outcome but also for trastuzumab benefit in patients with early breast cancer treated in the adjuvant setting
(2016)Background: We investigated the impact of PIK3CA and TP53 mutations and p53 protein status on the outcome of patients who had been treated with adjuvant anthracycline-taxane chemotherapy within clinical trials in the pre- ... -
Transcutaneous carbon dioxide monitoring as a predictive tool for all-cause 6-month mortality after acute pulmonary embolism
(2019)Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) frequently remains undiagnosed. The partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), a surrogate of dead-space ventilation, is useful in the evaluation of the degree of pulmonary artery ...
