Association of biofilm formation and methicillin-resistance with accessory gene regulator (agr) loci in Greek Staphylococcus aureus clones
(2009)
Pathogenicity of Staphylococcus aureus is coordinated by the accessory gene regulator (agr) system. Previous studies suggested that agr Group 11 methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), a polymorphism that has been associated ...
Total knee replacement performed with either a mini-midvastus or a standard approach - A prospective randomised clinical and radiological trial
(2008)
We report the clinical and radiological results of a two-to three-year prospective randomised study which was designed to compare a minimally-invasive technique with a standard technique in total knee replacement and was ...
A mid-term clinical outcome study of the Advance Medial Pivot knee arthroplasty
(2009)
The Advance Medial Pivot Total Knee Arthroplasty (Wright Medical Technology, Arlington, Tennessee, USA) has been designed to reproduce modern ideas of knee kinematics. We report a prospective clinical outcome study of 284 ...
The effects of the short-term administration of low therapeutic doses of anti-COX-2 agents on the healing of fractures - An experimental study in rabbits
(2007)
We have evaluated the effect of the short-term administration of low therapeutic doses of modern COX-2 inhibitors on the healing of fractures. A total of 40 adult male New Zealand rabbits were divided into five groups. A ...
MR imaging findings in early osteoarthritis of the knee
(2004)
Purpose: To carry out a modern diagnostic survey among patients with a clinical and radiological diagnosis of early osteoarthritis of the knee. Materials and methods:A magnetic resonance imaging survey was performed on 70 ...
Scaphoid nonunions treated with vascularised bone grafts: MRI assessment
(2004)
Purpose: To assess the value of MR imaging (MRI) with regard to union, graft viability and proximal pole bone marrow status, after use of vascularized bone grafts for treating scaphoid nonunions. Materials and methods: ...
Clinical and epidemiological features of upper-extremity infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus carrying the PVL gene: A four-year study in Greece
(2008)
Background: All Staphyloccus aureus isolated during 2003-2006 at a university hospital in Thessalia, central Greece, from ulcerative upper-extremity infection were tested for the presence of PVL gene and for possible clonal ...
Heterotopic neo-osteogenesis from vascularized periosteum and bone grafts
(2002)
Background: Periosteum is an osteogenic, flexible tissue. This study investigated the osteogenic potential of vascularized periosteal flaps in heterotopic conditions and compared it to the neo-osteogenesis from vascularized ...
Testing the druggable endothelial differentiation gene 2 knee osteoarthritis genetic factor for replication in a wide range of sample collections
(2009)
Objectives: To replicate a previously reported association with osteoarthritis (OA) of the promoter single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs10980705 in the endothelial differentiation gene 2 (EDG2). Methods: Five collections ...
