A genome-wide association study identifies an osteoarthritis susceptibility locus on chromosome 7q22
(2010)
Objective. To identify novel genes involved in osteoarthritis (OA), by means of a genome-wide association study. Methods. We tested 500,510 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 1,341 Dutch Caucasian OA cases and 3,496 ...
Assessing multiple-group diagnostic problems with multi-dimensional receiver operating characteristic surfaces: Application to proton MR Spectroscopy (MRS) in HIV-related neurological injury
(2008)
We present the multi-dimensional Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) surface, a plot of the true classification rates of tests based on levels of biological markers, for multi-group discrimination, as an extension of ...
The Medical Research Council chronic dyspnea score predicts the survival of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
(2008)
Background: The Medical Research Council (MRC) chronic dyspnea scale (6-point) is used in different clinical conditions to grade breathlessness on daily activities. We have previously shown that in patients with histologically ...
Total hip arthroplasty in patients with high dislocation: A concise follow-up, at a minimum of fifteen years, of previous reports
(2011)
We report the updated results at a minimum of fifteen years after eighty-four consecutive total hip arthroplasties performed in sixty-seven female patients with high dislocation of the hip. Sixty-four arthroplasties were ...
Repeatability and reproducibility of retinal thickness measurements in diabetic patients with spectral domain optical coherence tomography
(2013)
Background: To determine the repeatability and reproducibility of optical coherence tomography (OCT) Spectralis retinal thickness measurements in diabetic patients with clinically significant macular edema (CSME). Methods: ...
Seven new loci associated with age-related macular degeneration
(2013)
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common cause of blindness in older individuals. To accelerate the understanding of AMD biology and help design new therapies, we executed a collaborative genome-wide association ...
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 ...
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 ...
Hypoxia-induced changes in plasma micro-RNAs correlate with pulmonary artery pressure at high altitude
(2018)
In vitro and animal studies revealed micro-RNAs (miRs) to be involved in modulation of hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension (HPH). However, knowledge of circulating miRs in humans in the context of HPH is very limited. ...
C-reactive protein as a potential biomarker of residual obstructive sleep apnea following adenotonsillectomy in children
(2016)
Study Objectives: Adenotonsillectomy (AT) is first-line treatment for pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), with most children having improvements in polysomnography (PSG). However, many children have residual OSA ...
