Municipal waste collectors and hepatitis b and c virus infection: A cross-sectional study
(2014)
There is some evidence that municipal waste collectors are at risk of Hepatitis B virus infection (HBV). Published information on risk of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection among waste collectors is scant. We aimed to ...
microTSS: Accurate microRNA transcription start site identification reveals a significant number of divergent pri-miRNAs
(2014)
A large fraction of microRNAs (miRNAs) are derived from intergenic non-coding loci and the identification of their promoters remains 'elusive'. Here, we present microTSS, a machine-learning algorithm that provides highly ...
Urate crystals induce NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent IL-1β secretion and proliferation in isolated primary human T-cells
(2015)
Background: Urate through NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-dependent caspase-1 activation stimulates macrophages to secrete inteleukin-1β (IL-1β). Urate also enhances adaptive immunity ...
Curriculum issues and benefits in supportive co-taught classes for students with intellectual disabilities
(2015)
Objectives: The aim of this qualitative study is to identify and evaluate the benefits of supportive co-teaching with regard to the access of students with intellectual disabilities (ID) to the general education curriculum ...
The hygiene hypothesis and evolutionary medicine
(2014)
The hygiene hypothesis is an explanatory model for increases in the incidence of chronic inflammatory disorders which have become much more prevalent in developed countries during recent last decades. Accumulating evidence ...
Suture Line Response of End-to-Side Anastomosis: A Stress Concentration Methodology
(2015)
End-to-side vascular anastomosis has a considerable complexity regarding the suturing of the juncture line between the artery and the graft. The present study proposes a stress–concentration methodology for the prediction ...
Hypospadias in offspring is associated with chronic exposure of parents to organophosphate and organochlorine pesticides
(2014)
We have currently evaluated the possible association between hypospadias and exposure to organophosphorus (OP) and organochlorine (OC) pesticides. For this purpose, we measured the dialkyl phosphate metabolites of ...
Hepatocellular carcinoma risk in HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B patients with or without cirrhosis treated with entecavir: HepNet.Greece cohort
(2015)
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) may still develop in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients treated with lamivudine. Whether HCC rates are comparable in patients treated with the current first-line antivirals remains uncertain. ...
Comparative epidemiological study of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates during two time periods in a tertiary care hospital
(2014)
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a nosocomial pathogen of clinical importance carrying virulence and antibiotic resistance determinants. In the present study, phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of P. aeruginosa isolates ...
ASTRAL-R score predicts non-recanalisation after intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischaemic stroke
(2015)
Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) as treatment in acute ischaemic strokes may be insufficient to achieve recanalisation in certain patients. Predicting probability of non-recanalisation after IVT may have the potential to ...
