Hypoxia-induced collagen crosslinking as a mechanism for enhancing mechanical properties of engineered articular cartilage
(2013)
Objective: The focus of tissue engineering of neocartilage has traditionally been on enhancing extracellular matrix and thus biomechanical properties. Emphasis has been placed on the enhancement of collagen type and quantity, ...
Erosive hand osteoarthritis is associated with subclinical atherosclerosis and endothelial dysfunction
(2013)
Chronic inflammatory disorders have been associated with accelerated atherosclerosis and increased cardiovascular (CV) risk. Recent evidence suggests that erosive hand osteoarthritis (EOA) has considerable inflammation; ...
Smoking habits, attitudes and training among medical students of the Democritus University of Thrace
(2012)
Introduction Tobacco use continues to be the leading global cause of preventable death, contributing to the death of nearly 6 million people each year. Medical students, who are future doctors, have an important role to ...
Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies confirms a susceptibility locus for knee osteoarthritis on chromosome 7q22
(2011)
Objectives: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent form of arthritis and accounts for substantial morbidity and disability, particularly in older people. It is characterised by changes in joint structure, including ...
The effects of aging, physical training, and a single bout of exercise on mitochondrial protein expression in human skeletal muscle
(2012)
Aging results in a significant decline in aerobic capacity and impaired mitochondrial function. We have tested the effects of moderate physical activity on aerobic capacity and a single bout of exercise on the expression ...
Increased primary autoimmune thyroid diseases and thyroid antibodies in sarcoidosis: Evidence for an under-recognised extrathoracic involvement in sarcoido
(2012)
Objective and Design: Sarcoidosis has been associated with thyroid diseases. However, until today no definite conclusions have been drawn. We aimed to assess the frequency of thyroid disorders and the levels of thyroid ...
Effect of dietary olive leaves and/or α-tocopheryl acetate supplementation on microbial growth and lipid oxidation of turkey breast fillets during refrigerated storage
(2010)
Thirty turkeys were allocated to five groups of six birds each. One group that served as control was fed a basal diet, while the others were fed diets supplemented with olive leaves at 5 or 10 g/kg, or α-tocopheryl acetate ...
Induced Collagen Cross-Links Enhance Cartilage Integration
(2013)
Articular cartilage does not integrate due primarily to a scarcity of cross-links and viable cells at the interface. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that lysyl-oxidase, a metalloenzyme that forms ...
Work-related respiratory symptoms and airway disease in hairdressers
(2013)
Background: Hairdressers are occupationally exposed to a number of agents in their workplace that result in respiratory symptoms and changes in pulmonary function. Objective: To evaluate associations between occupational ...
Myocardial bridging evaluated with 128-multi detector computed tomography coronary angiography
(2010)
Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence, length, depth, and location of myocardial bridging of the coronary arteries using 128-multi detector computed tomography coronary angiography. Methods: The study ...
