Do the Kinetics of Antibody Responses Predict Clinical Outcome in Hospitalized Patients With Moderate-to-Severe COVID-19?
(2022)
Background/Aim: The relationship between the kinetics of antibody responses to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the severity of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is poorly understood. The ...
Intergenic snps in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome: Revealing metabolic, oxidative stress and immune-related pathways
(2021)
There is strong evidence supporting the contribution of genetic factors to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAHS) susceptibility. In the current study we analyzed both in a clinical cohort and in silico, four single ...
A comprehensive analysis of antigen-specific autoimmune liver disease related autoantibodies in patients with multiple sclerosis
(2020)
Introduction: Abnormal liver function tests are frequently seen in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and their origin at times is attributed to the possible co-occurrence or the de novo induction of autoimmune liver ...
Association of p16 (CDKN2A) polymorphisms with the development of HPV16-related precancerous lesions and cervical cancer in the Greek population
(2018)
The tumor suppressor protein p16 plays a fundamental role in cell cycle regulation and exerts a protective effect against tumor growth. Two different polymorphisms at positions 540 and 580 at the 3′UTR of exon 3 of p16 ...

(2016)
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the outcome of breast cancer (BC) patients treated with adjuvant chemotherapy is affected by co-mutated TP53 and PIK3CA according to stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes ...
Repeatability of pleural adenosine deaminase measurements in diagnostic evaluation of pleural effusions
(2018)
Background: A follow-up thoracentesis is proposed in suspected atypical tuberculosis cases. The study aimed to define the variability of pleural ADA values across repeated thoracenteses in different types of pleural effusions ...
Differentiation between subchondral insufficiency fractures and advanced osteoarthritis of the knee using transfer learning and an ensemble of convolutional neural networks
(2022)
Purpose: Subchondral insufficiency fractures (SIF) and advanced osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee are usually seen in conjunction with bone marrow lesions (BMLs) and their differentiation may pose a significant diagnostic ...
