Association of α-synuclein Rep1 polymorphism and Parkinson's disease: Influence of Rep1 on age at onset
(2006)
The α-synuclein Rep1 polymorphism was studied in patients and controls in an ethnic Greek population. There was an association of allele 2 with risk of Parkinson's disease (PD; adjusted odd ratio = 3.25; 95% CI = 1.80-5.87). ...
An NOS3 haplotype is protective against hypertension in a caucasian population
(2010)
The endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene (NOS3) has been implicated in the development of hypertension, although the specific role of variants and haplotypes has not been clarified. In this study, the association of three ...
Association of anti-CCP positivity and carriage of TNFRII susceptibility variant with anti-TNF-α response in rheumatoid arthritis
(2011)
Objective: To investigate the possible influence of tumour necrosis factoralpha (TNF), TNF receptor I (TNFRI) and TNF receptor II (TNFRII) gene polymorphisms on anti-TNF treatment responsiveness, stratified by autoantibody ...
Autoantibodies in patients with systemic sclerosis and cancer: A case-control study
(2003)
Objective. To determine the prevalence of specific autoantibodies in a cohort of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and a diagnosis of cancer, and to compare it to that in a group of patients with SSc who were never ...
'Single puncture' mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy under assisted local anesthesia
(2010)
Objective: To evaluate the possibility of performing minipercutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL) under assisted local anesthesia in a selected group of patients. Patients and Methods: Twenty-one patients with unilateral ...
Non-replication of association for six polymorphisms from meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of Parkinson's disease: Large-scale collaborative study
(2010)
Early genome-wide association (GWA) studies on Parkinson's disease (PD) have not been able to yield conclusive, replicable signals of association, perhaps due to limited sample size. We aimed to investigate whether association ...
The accumulation of pleural fluid during labour
(1997)
Objectives: Labour appears to promote the development of pleural effusion. The presence of pleural fluid at the end of normal pregnancy and after an uncomplicated labour was investigated using thoracic ultrasonography. ...
Pulmonary function abnormalities in young adults with thalassemia major
(1997)
Thalassemia seems to be the most common genetic disorder. The pathophysiologic mechanisms for lung impairment is not clear. Lung function tests in children showed small airway obstruction and restrictive lung changes. ...
Tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU) syndrome in a 52-year-old female: A case report and review of the literature
(2006)
Tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU) syndrome is a rare entity first described in 1975, affecting mainly young women and adolescents. We present a case of a 52-year-old female patient (one of the oldest in the ...
A large-scale genetic association study to evaluate the contribution of Omi/HtrA2 (PARK13) to Parkinson's disease
(2011)
High-profile studies have provided conflicting results regarding the involvement of the Omi/HtrA2 gene in Parkinson's disease (PD) susceptibility. Therefore, we performed a large-scale analysis of the association of common ...
