Intrafamilial spread of hepatitis B virus infection in Greece

Zervou, E. K.; Gatselis, N. K.; Xanthi, E.; Ziciadis, K.; Georgiadou, S. P.; Dalekos, G. N. (2005)

Objective: No study has investigated the intrafamilial spread of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in Greece. We conducted a 9-year prospective study to determine the rate of HBV spread in family members when a member is identified ...

A multicentre evaluation of the accuracy and performance of IP-10 for the diagnosis of infection with M. tuberculosis

Ruhwald, M.; Dominguez, J.; Latorre, I.; Losi, M.; Richeldi, L.; Pasticci, M. B.; Mazzolla, R.; Goletti, D.; Butera, O.; Bruchfeld, J.; Gaines, H.; Gerogianni, I.; Tuuminen, T.; Ferrara, G.; Eugen-Olsen, J.; Ravn, P. (2011)

IP-10 has potential as a diagnostic marker for infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, with comparable accuracy to QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube test (QFT-IT). The aims were to assess the sensitivity and specificity of ...

Feasibility and efficacy of extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy using a new modified lateral position for the treatment of renal stones in obese patients

Karatzas, A.; Gravas, S.; Tzortzis, V.; Aravantinos, E.; Zachos, I.; Kalogeras, N.; Melekos, M. (2012)

The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ESWL using a modified lateral position in obese patients with renal stones. Nineteen obese patients with renal stones were enrolled (group A). The mean stone ...

Convergence of linkage, gene expression and association data demonstrates the influence of the RAR-related orphan receptor alpha (RORA) gene on neovascular AMD: A systems biology based approach

Silveira, A. C.; Morrison, M. A.; Ji, F.; Xu, H.; Reinecke, J. B.; Adams, S. M.; Arneberg, T. M.; Janssian, M.; Lee, J. E.; Yuan, Y.; Schaumberg, D. A.; Kotoula, M. G.; Tsironi, E. E.; Tsiloulis, A. N.; Chatzoulis, D. Z.; Miller, J. W.; Kim, I. K.; Hageman, G. S.; Farrer, L. A.; Haider, N. B.; DeAngelis, M. M. (2010)

To identify novel genes and pathways associated with AMD, we performed microarray gene expression and linkage analysis which implicated the candidate gene, retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor alpha (RORA, 15q). ...

Thymidine phosphorylase expression in normal and hyperplastic endometrium

Sivridis, E.; Giatromanolaki, A.; Koukourakis I, M.; Bicknell, R.; Harris, A. L.; Gatter, K. C. (2000)

Aims - To investigate the expression of thymidine phosphorylase (TP), a known angiogenic factor for endothelial cells, in normally cycling endometrium and various forms of endometrial hyperplasia. Methods - TP expression ...

Hereditary hyperferritinemia cataract syndrome as a cause of childhood hyperferritinemia

Tsantoula, F.; Kioumi, A.; Germenis, A. E.; Speletas, M. (2014)

A 2-year-old female was presented with high levels of serum ferritin (890 ng/mL) in a routine blood test. Clinical and laboratory investigations excluded the presence of iron overload and secondary causes of hyperferritinemia. ...

Preferences of students with general learning difficulties for different service delivery modes

Vlachou, A.; Didaskalou, E.; Argyrakouli, E. (2006)

This study was designed to elicit the views and preferences of primary education students' with general learning difficulties concerning different service delivery modes. The main areas to be investigated were: (a) their ...

Lamivudine plus interleukin-12 combination therapy in chronic hepatitis B: Antiviral and immunological activity

Rigopoulou, E. I.; Suri, D.; Chokshi, S.; Mullerova, I.; Rice, S.; Tedder, R. S.; Williams, R.; Naoumov, N. V. (2005)

Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is an immunomodulatory cytokine that promotes cellular immunity. Pre-clinical data suggest that IL-12 inhibits hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication by stimulating interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) production. ...

Suggestive evidence for linkage for restless legs syndrome on chromosome 19p13

Kemlink, D.; Plazzi, G.; Vetrugno, R.; Provini, F.; Polo, O.; Stiasny-Kolster, K.; Oertel, W.; Nevsimalova, S.; Sonka, K.; Högl, B.; Frauscher, B.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M.; Pramstaller, P. P.; Lichtner, P.; Meitinger, T.; Müller-Myshok, B.; Winkelmann, J.; Montagna, P. (2008)

Five loci for restless legs syndrome (RLS) on chromosomes 12q, 14q, 9p, 2q, and 20p (RLS1-RLS5) have been mapped in RLS families, with a recessive in the first and autosomal-dominant mode of inheritance in the latter cases. ...

Changes in pituitary response to gonadotropin releasing hormone following bilateral ovariectomy in women treated with follicle-stimulating hormone

Messinis, I. E.; Milingos, S.; Kollios, G.; Seferiadis, K.; Papanikolaou, N.; Lolis, D. (1996)

Superovulation induction in women attenuates the pituitary response to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). The aim of this study was to assess the duration of the suppressing activity of the ovaries on the pituitary. ...
