Does living in urban or rural settings affect aspects of physical fitness in children? An allometric approach
(2005)
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate physical fitness in relation to fatness in urban and rural Greek children by means of allometric scaling. Methods: The sample consisted of 360 (189 urban and 171 rural; ...
Diagnostic accuracy of a new clinical test (The Thessaly test) for early detection of meniscal tears
(2005)
Background: Clinical tests used for the detection of meniscal tears in the knee do not present acceptable diagnostic sensitivity and specificity values. Diagnostic accuracy is improved by arthroscopic evaluation or magnetic ...
Evidence for the molecular heterogeneity of sickle cell anemia chromosomes bearing the βS/benin haplotype
(2005)
There are at least four distinct African and one Asian chromosomal backgrounds (haplotypes) on which the sickle cell mutation has arisen. Additionally, previous data suggest that the βS/Bantu haplotype is heterogeneous at ...
Accidental acute metabolic acidosis due to inappropriate selection of bicarbonate concentrate
(2005)
Haemodialysis using a bicarbonate concentrate (bicarbonate dialysis) is the treatment modality of choice for correction of metabolic acidosis in chronic renal failure. However, improper ratios of acid and bicarbonate ...
Primary biliary cirrhosis is characterized by IgG3 antibodies cross-reactive with the major mitochondrial autoepitope and its lactobacillus mimic
(2005)
The serological hallmark of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is the presence of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex E2 subunit (PDC-E2) antimitochondrial antibodies (AMAs). Anti-PDC-E2 antibodies cross-react specifically with ...
Comparison between leg and arm eccentric exercises of the same relative intensity on indices of muscle damage
(2005)
Many exercise models have demonstrated associations between eccentric muscle actions and muscle damage. However, the magnitude of muscle damage varies among the models. It appears that responses to eccentric exercise are ...
Endothelin-1 plasma levels in hemodialysis treatment - The influence of type 2 diabetes
(2005)
In patients on chronic hemodialysis the prevalence of atherosclerosis is increased and is by far the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Endothelin-1, an endothelium-derived peptide with vasoconstrictive and mitogenic ...
Cumulative pregnancy rate after ICSI with cryopreserved testicular tissue in non-obstructive azoospermia
(2005)
The aim of the present study was to describe a simplified and inexpensive method of testicular tissue freezing to assess the cumulative clinical pregnancy rate (CPR) by this technique, and to provide useful information for ...
Leptospirosis and pancytopenia: Two case reports and review of the literature
(2005)
Besides the classical manifestations, leptospirosis may rarely occur with erythroid hypoplasia and/or pancytopenia. In this study, we reported two cases of leptospirosis presented with pancytopenia as the prevailing ...
