Detection of mitochondrial transfer RNA (mt-tRNA) gene mutations in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and sarcoidosis
(2018)
Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production may lead to tissue injury associated with two respiratory disorders of unknown origin which are shared by common tissue fibrosis, IPF and sarcoidosis. Sequence analysis of ...
First Results From a Propensity Matching Trial of Mycophenolate Mofetil vs. Azathioprine in Treatment-Naive AIH Patients
(2022)
Background/Aims: As previous real-world studies and meta-analyses have shown that mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) might have better efficacy than azathioprine (AZA) in autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), we conducted a propensity ...
Interference Resolution in Nonfluent Variant Primary Progressive Aphasia: Evidence From a Picture-Word Interference Task
(2021)
BACKGROUND: Picture-word interference tasks have been used to investigate (a) the time course of lexical access in individuals with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) and (b) how these individuals resolve competition during ...
Trends in prevalence of blindness and distance and near vision impairment over 30 years: An analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study
(2021)
Background: To contribute to the WHO initiative, VISION 2020: The Right to Sight, an assessment of global vision impairment in 2020 and temporal change is needed. We aimed to extensively update estimates of global vision ...
The Collaborative Ocular Tuberculosis Study (COTS)-1 Report 3: Polymerase Chain Reaction in the Diagnosis and Management of Tubercular Uveitis: Global Trends
(2019)
Purpose: To analyze the role of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of ocular fluids in management of tubercular (TB) anterior, intermediate, posterior, and panuveitis. Methods: In Collaborative Ocular Tuberculosis Study ...
Pesticide exposure and cognitive function: Results from the Hellenic Longitudinal Investigation of Aging and Diet (HELIAD)
(2019)
Background: Results from studies to date, regarding the role of chronic pesticide exposure on cognitive function remain contradictory. Objective: To investigate the relationship between self-reported pesticide exposure and ...
Independent Prognostic Value of MRproANP (Midregional Proatrial Natriuretic Peptide) Levels in Patients with Stroke Is Unaltered over Time
(2020)
Background and Purpose - MRproANP (midregional proatrial natriuretic peptide) is known to be independently associated with cardioembolic stroke cause and to improve risk stratification for 90-day mortality when measured ...
Assessment of TREM2 rs75932628 variant’s association with Parkinson’s disease in a Greek population and Meta-analysis of current data
(2021)
Background: Α number of genetic variants are considered to confer susceptibility to Parkinson’s disease (PD). Rs75392628 (R47H), a rare variant of TREM2 gene, has been linked to PD, although its role on PD remains conflicting. ...
Prognostic assessment in COPD without lung function: The B-AE-D indices
(2016)
Several composite markers have been proposed for risk assessment in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, choice of parameters and score complexity restrict clinical applicability. Our aim was to provide ...
Survivin autoantibodies are not elevated in lung cancer when assayed controlling for specificity and smoking status
(2016)
The high mortality rate in lung cancer is largely attributable to late diagnosis. Case-control studies suggest that autoantibodies to the survivin protein are potential biomarkers for early diagnosis. We tested the hypothesis ...
