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 ...

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 ...

Position sense and reaction angle after eccentric exercise: The repeated bout effect

Paschalis, V.; Nikolaidis, M. G.; Giakas, G.; Jamurtas, A. Z.; Owolabi, E. O.; Koutedakis, Y. (2008)

The purpose of the present investigation was to examine the effects of a repeated eccentric exercise on position sense and muscle reaction angle. Fourteen healthy women underwent an isokinetic exercise session on their ...

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 ...

Vascularized compared with nonvascularized fibular grafting for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head

Plakseychuk, A. Y.; Kim, S. Y.; Park, B. C.; Varitimidis, S. E.; Rubash, H. E.; Sotereanos, D. G. (2003)

Background: We are not aware of any clinical studies in the literature comparing the results of vascularized and non- vascularized fibular grafting for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head. The purpose of ...

Diagnostic accuracy of a new clinical test (The Thessaly test) for early detection of meniscal tears

Karachalios, T.; Hantes, M.; Zibis, A. H.; Zachos, V.; Karantanas, A. H.; Malizos, K. N. (2005)

Background: Clinical tests used for the detection of meniscal tears in the knee do not present acceptable diagnostic sensitivity and specificity values. Diagnostic accuracy is improved by arthroscopic evaluation or magnetic ...

High-dose pantoprazole continuous infusion is superior to somatostatin after endoscopic hemostasis in patients with peptic ulcer bleeding

Tsibouris, P.; Zintzaras, E.; Lappas, C.; Moussia, M.; Tsianos, G.; Galeas, T.; Potamianos, S. (2007)

BACKGROUND: The best antisecretory treatment after endoscopic hemostasis in patients with ulcer bleeding is still in quest. OBJECTIVES: To compare pantoprazole and somatostatin continuous infusion after endoscopic hemostasis ...

Lack of replication of thirteen single-nucleotide polymorphisms implicated in Parkinson's disease: a large-scale international study

Elbaz, A.; Nelson, L. M.; Payami, H.; Ioannidis, J. P.; Fiske, B. K.; Annesi, G.; Carmine Belin, A.; Factor, S. A.; Ferrarese, C.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M.; Higgins, D.

Background: A genome-wide association study identified 13 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) significantly associated with Parkinson's disease. Small-scale replication studies were largely non-confirmatory, but a ...

Computed tomography study of radial head morphology

Itamura, J. M.; Roidis, N. T.; Chong, A. K.; Vaishnav, S.; Papadakis, S. A.; Zalavras, C. (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 ...

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)
