Computed tomography study of radial head morphology
(2008)
Computed tomography scans of 22 cadaveric adult elbows were obtained in 3 forearm positions: full supination, neutral, and full pronation. The radial head dimensions, the radiocapitellar joints, and the proximal radioulnar ...
Effects of endothelin-1 on KCl-induced contractions of airway smooth muscles
(2000)
The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of endothelin-1 (ET-1) on KCl-induced contractions. Tracheal strips were obtained from 12 male rabbits, perfused with Krebs solution and aerated continuously by ...
Therapeutic itineraries of 'depressed' women in Greece: Power relationships and agency in therapeutic pluralism
(2010)
This paper explores the treatment quests followed by women diagnosed with depression at the local centre for mental health. The data resulting from this investigation were collected during ethnographic research conducted ...
Interstitial deletion at 11q14.2-11q22.1 may cause severe learning difficulties, mental retardation and mild heart defects in 13-year old male
(2015)
Interstitial deletions of the long arm of chromosome 11 are rare, and they could be assumed as non-recurrent chromosomal rearrangements due to high variability of the size and the breakpoints of the deleted region. The ...
Metabolism of isovanillin by aldehyde oxidase, xanthine oxidase, aldehyde dehydrogenase and liver slices
(2005)
Aromatic aldehydes are good substrates of aldehyde dehydrogenase activity but are relatively poor substrates of aldehyde oxidase and xanthine oxidase. However, the oxidation of xenobiotic-derived aromatic aldehydes by the ...
Inhibition of calcitriol inactivating enzyme CYP24A1 gene expression by flavonoids in hepatocellular carcinoma cells under normoxia and hypoxia
(2021)
A vast number of epidemiological, preclinical and in vitro experimental data strongly indicate the anticancer potential of calcitriol, the biologically active form of vitamin D. However, for the implementation of a vitamin ...
Anticoagulation after Stroke in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: To Bridge or Not with Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin?
(2019)
Background and Purpose-Bridging therapy with low-molecular-weight heparin reportedly leads to a worse outcome for acute cardioembolic stroke patients because of a higher incidence of intracerebral bleeding. However, this ...
Implementation of HPV-based Cervical Cancer Screening Combined with Self-sampling Using a Midwifery Network across Rural Greece: The Grecoself study
(2019)
Self-sampling for human papillomavirus (HPV) testing is an alternative to physician sampling particularly for cervical cancer screening nonattenders. The GRECOSELF study is a nationwide observational cross-sectional study ...
Parkinson's disease and pesticides: Are microRNAs the missing link?
(2020)
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder that leads to significant morbidity and decline in the quality of life. It develops due to loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, ...
Tales around the clock: Poly(A) tails in circadian gene expression
(2018)
Circadian rhythms are ubiquitous time-keeping processes in eukaryotes with a period of ~24 hr. Light is perhaps the main environmental cue (zeitgeber) that affects several aspects of physiology and behaviour, such as ...
