Survivorship of monoblock trabecular metal cups in primary THA: Midterm results

Malizos, K. N.; Bargiotas, K.; Papatheodorou, L.; Hantes, M.; Karachalios, T. (2008)

Monoblock trabecular metal cups are made of a novel porous material intended to enhance ingrowth and improve fixation. We prospectively followed 223 consecutive patients with 245 trabecular metal acetabular cups implanted ...

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 ...

Predicting academic self-handicapping in different age groups: The role of personal achievement goals and social goals

Leondari, A.; Gonida, E. (2007)

Background. Academic self-handicapping refers to the use of impediments to successful performance on academic tasks. Previous studies have shown that it is related to personal achievement goals. A performance goal orientation ...

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase depletes tryptophan, activates general control non-derepressible 2 kinase and down-regulates key enzymes involved in fatty acid synthesis in primary human CD4+ T cells

Eleftheriadis, T.; Pissas, G.; Antoniadi, G.; Liakopoulos, V.; Stefanidis, I. (2015)

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is expressed in antigen-presenting cells and exerts immunosuppressive effects on CD4+ T cells. One mechanism is through the inhibition of aerobic glycolysis. Another prerequisite for T-cell ...

Ocular disorders as the prevailing manifestations of antiphospholipid syndrome: A case series
