Quantification of normal CSF flow through the aqueduct using PC-Cine MRI at 3T

Kapsalaki, E.; Svolos, P.; Tsougos, I.; Theodorou, K.; Fezoulidis, I.; Fountas, K. N. (2012)

Quantification of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow through the cerebral aqueduct is of paramount importance in patients with hydrocephalus. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the normal CSF flow measurements at three ...

Association of FCGR2A with the response to infliximab treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Montes, A.; Perez-Pampin, E.; Narváez, J.; Cañete, J. D.; Navarro-Sarabia, F.; Moreira, V.; Fernández-Nebro, A.; Del Carmen Ordóñez, M.; De La Serna, A. R.; Magallares, B.; Vasilopoulos, Y.; Sarafidou, T.; Caliz, R.; Ferrer, M. A.; Joven, B.; Carreira, P.; Gómez-Reino, J. J.; Gonzalez, A. (2014)

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to assess a functional polymorphism in FCGR2A H131R, for association with the treatment response to Fc-containing inhibitors of tumor necrosis factor (TNF). METHODS: A total of 429 biologic-naive ...

Pharmacogenetic analysis of TNF, TNFRSF1A, and TNFRSF1B gene polymorphisms and prediction of response to anti-TNF therapy in psoriasis patients in the greek population

Vasilopoulos, Y.; Manolika, M.; Zafiriou, E.; Sarafidou, T.; Bagiatis, V.; Krüger-Krasagaki, S.; Tosca, A.; Patsatsi, A.; Sotiriadis, D.; Mamuris, Z.; Roussaki-Schulze, A. (2012)

Background: Although biologic therapies have revolutionized the treatment of psoriasis, patients exhibit a substantial heterogeneous response that could be due to complex genetic heterogeneity. Objective: The aim of this ...

Evaluating the role of perceived stress on the likelihood of having a non - Fatal acute coronary syndrome: A case-control study

Katsarou, A.; Triposkiadis, F.; Skoularigis, J.; Griva, E.; Neroutsos, G.; Karayannis, G.; Papageorgiou, C.; Panagiotakos, D. (2014)

Objectives: The aim of the current study was to evaluate the independent role of perceived stress, measured by the PSS-14, on the likelihood of having acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: This is a case-control study ...

Late HDV RNA relapse after peginterferon alpha-based therapy of chronic hepatitis delta

Heidrich, B.; Yurdaydin, C.; Kabaçam, G.; Ratsch, B. A.; Zachou, K.; Bremer, B.; Dalekos, G. N.; Erhardt, A.; Tabak, F.; Yalcin, K.; Gürel, S.; Zeuzem, S.; Cornberg, M.; Bock, C. T.; Manns, M. P.; Wedemeyer, H. (2014)

Interferon alpha is the only treatment option for hepatitis delta virus (HDV). Trials investigating the efficacy of pegylated interferon alpha (PEG-IFNa) showed HDV RNA negativity rates of 25-30% 24 weeks after therapy. ...

Renal function during treatment with adefovir plus peginterferon alfa-2a vs either drug alone in hepatitis B/D co-infection

Mederacke, I.; Yurdaydin, C.; Großhennig, A.; Erhardt, A.; Cakaloglu, Y.; Yalcin, K.; Gurel, S.; Zeuzem, S.; Zachou, K.; Chatzikyrkou, C.; Bozkaya, H.; Dalekos, G. N.; Manns, M. P.; Wedemeyer, H. (2012)

Long-term safety of treatment with hepatitis B virus (HBV) polymerase inhibitors is a concern. Adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) therapy has previously been associated with impairment of renal function. Limited data are available ...

A specific phospholipase C activity regulates phosphatidylinositol levels in lung surfactant of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome

Spyridakis, S.; Leondaritis, G.; Nakos, G.; Lekka, M. E.; Galanopoulou, D. (2010)

Lung surfactant (LS) is a lipid-rich material lining the inside of the lungs. It reduces surface tension at the liquid/air interface and thus, it confers protection of the alveoli from collapsing. The surfaceactive component ...

Recording lifetime behavior and movement in an invertebrate model

Zou, S.; Liedo, P.; Altamirano-Robles, L.; Cruz-Enriquez, J.; Morice, A.; Ingram, D. K.; Kaub, K.; Papadopoulos, N.; Carey, J. R. (2011)

Characterization of lifetime behavioral changes is essential for understanding aging and aging-related diseases. However, such studies are scarce partly due to the lack of efficient tools. Here we describe and provide proof ...

Autologous (non-vascularised) fibular grafting with recombinant bone morphogenetic protein-7 for the treatment of femoral head osteonecrosis: Preliminary report

Papanagiotou, M.; Malizos, K. N.; Vlychou, M.; Dailiana, Z. H. (2014)

This preliminary study evaluates a combination of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-7 and non-vascularised autologous fibular grafting (AFG) for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head. BMP-7/AFG combination was ...

Exercising with passion: Initial validation of the passion scale in exercise

Parastatidou, I. S.; Doganis, G.; Theodorakis, Y.; Vlachopoulos, S. P. (2012)

The purpose of the researchers in the study was to psychometrically evaluate Passion Scale scores (Vallerand et al., 2003) in exercise. Self-report data were collected from two samples of Greek exercise participants. Sample ...
