Association Between the Interleukin-1 beta Gene (IL1B) C-511T Polymorphism and the Risk of Diabetic Nephropathy in Type 2 Diabetes: A Candidate-Gene Association Study
(2014)
Variants of the interleukin-1 beta gene (IL1B) are implicated in the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN). The present candidate-gene association study was conducted to investigate the association between the IL1B ...
Network Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials in Multiple Sclerosis
(2012)
Background: The optimal treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) is not yet well-defined. Objective: To estimate the relative effectiveness of treatments in MS, we performed a network of multiple-treatments meta-analysis of ...
The role of G196A polymorphism in the brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene in the cause of Parkinson's disease: a meta-analysis
(2005)
The association between Parkinson's disease (PD) and the G196A polymorphism in the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene has been investigated in several case-control studies, producing contradictory results: one ...
Association of paraoxonase 1 gene polymorphisms with risk of Parkinson's disease: a meta-analysis
(2004)
Paraoxonase1 (PON1) gene polymorphisms were implicated as risk factors for Parkinson's disease (PD), but the results of case-control studies that investigated these associations were controversial. In order to provide an ...
Randomized Trials of Dopamine Agonists in Restless Legs Syndrome: A Systematic Review, Quality Assessment, and Meta-Analysis
(2010)
Background: The use of dopamine agonists (DAs) for the treatment of restless legs syndrome (RLS) has been assessed in numerous randomized clinical trials (RCTs). Objectives: The aims of this study were to assess the reporting ...
Evidence of an association between the scavenger receptor class B member 2 gene and Parkinson's disease
(2012)
Lysosomal protein 2 (LIMP2), the product of the scavenger receptor class B member 2 (SCARB2) gene, is a ubiquitously expressed transmembrane protein that is the mannose-6-phosphateindependent receptor for glucocerebrosidase ...
Assessment of the Relative Effectiveness and Tolerability of Treatments of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Network Meta-analysis
(2014)
Purpose: The relative effectiveness and tolerability of treatments for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is not well understood because few randomized, controlled trials (RCTs) have compared these treatments directly. The ...
Restless legs syndrome in hemodialysis patients: an epidemiologic survey in Greece
(2013)
Background: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sensorimotor disorder characterized by an uncontrolled need to move extremities accompanied by unpleasant sensations, which frequently leads to sleep disturbances. In hemodialysis ...
Low RLS prevalence and awareness in central Greece: an epidemiological survey
(2007)
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sensorimotor disorder with a general population prevalence of 3-10%. A single, previous epidemiological study performed in southeast Europe reported the lowest prevalence rate amongst ...
